Very cool, Bulky. I can't imagine paddling that close to whales. Not like we get alot of chances here in NJ. Occasionally in the warmer months you might spy a few, but they are usually pretty far out and also on the move. Nice vid, quite dif than a surfing one.
Is this HA or CA maybe? Nevermind! Found it.

Once the guards get here on 6/20 we will be restricted to surfing designated areas from 10AM-5PM. Sure was nice to have the last bit of freedom to surf any beach here in NJ. Water was feeling nice too! Around 65F!  8)

Thanx, J. Being close to shore is def a plus w/the SOLOSHOT. Not so much for framing subject but more so for security. Easy to keep a close eye on it. You could shoot Sunset Beach w/the SX50, it has a 50x optical. But you would def wanna iLock that thing down. My break can vary, sometimes it's way outside, sometimes not so much. it ain't Sunset though, that's for sure!

Sun came out, sort of. Actually there was considerable cloud cover but quite a high ceiling so lighting was good. Light offshores didn't hurt. Quite pleased w/the Powershot SX50 results here.

Weird, can't imagine dying from a harmless fall. Unless it is a heart attack from cold water thing.I had to translate the web page you linked and then did a quick search and found a relating article.

Scary though considering I just tackled my first river wave. I was def NOT going in w/out a leash. Also suited up although the water was way warmer than I thought it would be. Booties too helped alot since the river bed and banks are all rock.   

Shots from my river session on the Delaware River here in New jersey, USA. Guessing there are no rideable standing waves on Lake Geneva.

Nice, "feet"! Dig the user name!  8) Would def be cool to meet you at Scud's. We were lucky, no "Spud" boats or canoes when we hit it. Did you ever ride it?

Sessions / River Sesh

Always have been curious about river waves. Musta watched 1000 vids of em. Learned of one 70 miles from me on the Delaware River, packed up gear and hit it.  Took me no less than a dozen attempts b4 I even started to get up on my longboard. WASN'T easy. After about the twentieth go I finally rode for like 30 secs. I do this kinda backwards approach to line up. You can seee me dropping in prone in one of the shots. Two hours on the river trying to surf it was a little tiring so I broke out the sup. Only two attempts and wrecked hard both times. Second time I hit the bottom and definitely felt the rocks. I think I need to approach the wave from the back instead of dropping in. There's a little stationary spot just off to the side of the wave that looks like a good approach for sup. An inflatable would be nice but I don't have one. Brought my Vibe. Going back for more soon I hope.
It's a beautiful spot. Scudders Falls- http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/2920#main

Viewing on a 22" hi def pc monitor will show the true size of the images when actually viewing the library. Not sure what changes are made upon upload to forum. I do know the sizes are WAY smaller low res.
High Res off the Sony is 5184x2920
Low Res is 640x480

Just did a test run w/the Canon riding my bike. It fired off the entire time while set to 30 secs. Going in now to check out the images. Surf too rough and blown out to even consider.

They def look good but the problem w/the Sony Cyber-shot is shooting duration. At only 5 secs w/a 3 sec timer b4 shooting it's just not long enough to grab photos easily. The Canon Power-shot will shoot for the duration of the SOLOSHOT2 setting. So now you can trigger the shooting WAY before taking off.

$1,995 (off the Sunova website) for the 8'5" which would prob be my choice. Didn't calculate shipping. I def want a SIM style sup but already own 3!
Nice vid of the 8'5" in clean shoulder/head high conditions.
