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. |

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.

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'd get the type that looks like a full length wetsuit

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. |

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...
