Actually he has one of those but they eventually start leaking...the neoprene seems aren´t very reliable IMO.. I used to have a O´neill assault drysuit back in the day..and after some months of use it started to take water everywhere....I would keep you warm anyway..but the first drops of cold water where difficult...

Ryan just like those because it makes him look thinner.
Really, depends on what you like, windsurfing isn't going to wear out any suit quickly, so would he rather have something that he can wear regular clothier under for warmth, or a suit that is warm by itself. I like the bag suits so I can change cloths underneath as the temp changes. |

One thing you will want to consider is the focal length of the camera. That close to the boom, some cameras won't get the whole body it. I have a crude mount I made attached to the center pylon, which is a couple more feet back. If you notice in some of my videos, the camera is static. I use that when there is only 1 skier and 1 driver.

I thought about doing that myself too. Costco had them on sale a couple of weeks ago. Instead I'm having mt machinist friend build be a 1 7/8" camara mount to put on the tower boom side.

yeah, lack of focus, too casual, done this a thousand times...bam! Hello, wake up! The "boom cam" is my invention, although perhaps not the first to do it. I got a waterproof "GoPro Hero" camera for Christmas and was trying to figure out how to best use it. Next time out I will put a little more rope on to get the skier in full view. |

another day, another headpacker. here is a tumble turn gone bad:
Tumble Fun I hit a roller with my shoulder. End of day, lack of concentration. As I was catapulted around I braced for pain, but none came. |

I spray the silicone from the inside of seals (particularly the ankles) to get them off and it works well. I just keep a spray bottle in my gear bag and it has worked well for me.

you guys have products for everything....we are more rustic down here..Lol
I use diluted dish soap for my bindings...so I will use the silicone also as lubricant to help taking it out?? Or what else comes to mind? |

i use chap stick on the zipper, easier to get and works just fine. i didn't treat my seals all last winter, damnit and it's june already
use lube to get it off if you have to, preferably binding lube or something that is easy on the latex rubber. dish soap and shaving cream will dry them out |

Nice pics Seb. Now pull the neck seal up over your mouth. Breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Soon you will be the marshmallow man. SealSaver(tm) is 100% silicone |

Hey Seb,
I'd probably stay away from anything silicone. I believe that it makes it hard to repair or replace seals when the time comes. They sell specific products for zippers and seal savers. Steve |

Seb, be sure to rinse that suit good, I'm not sure if chlorine is the best on those seals.
