First downwind video

We had an epic day on the Sound last week.  Lots of firsts on my end. First time using a GoPro. First time downwinding on my new King's AC Elite (14 x 25). First huge northerly run I've experienced on the Sound.  Winds were constantly in the low to mid 30s with hundreds of miles of fetch, so the swells were open ocean-ish.  Of course, the low mounted GoPro minimizes the actual size of the swell and misses the snow capped Olympic mountains in the background. However, it was still a fantastic day on the water despite below freezing air temps.

Wow, that looks cold! The ending makes the vid! You must have come out of that with an ice cream headache!

Thanks for posting.

Cove, Amazingly it is not cold at all once you get going. The real problem is overheating in the wetsuit. Luckily, I am in the habit of periodically walking right off the back of the board to cool off.
