Telephoto lens test

I must admit, it's quite convenient as a surfer to have a father who can use a camera proficiently. Case in point: after getting a new telephoto lens, he was equally as stoked to shoot with it as I was to surf and see the images. We both agreed the lens performed well.

Let the games begin

I am now the proud owner of a GoPro HD. Ever since first using these little guys on race cars while working for Skunk2 I wanted one for my own personal camera bag. My mind has been reeling with ideas far and wide, ranging from surfing/paipo riding footage, snorkeling, rock climbing, all the way to mounting this thing on my Jeep and go flying through some desert washes. I ordered it with the Surf Hero package, but along with the standard surf mount, I have another box of various wrist straps, head straps, and other mounting option. This really will prove to be nothing short of fun.

New toy for the bag

Yes! The time has come to add another tool to my bag of camera tricks. This is something I've been wanting for a few years now, and I'm pretty excited to have it arrive (tomorrow supposedly) and to get it in the water. It's summer and it's time for some fun.

One More

I'm still thinking about these waves from the other morning. Some days just stick with you. It was good having the Lumberjack in the water and my dad on the shore shooting.
