GoPro HD - Skimboarding In A Storm! from Patrick Lawler on Vimeo.
High riptide warning, watercraft advisory, flash floods, tons and tons of rain, extreme danger! These are all words that David doesn't really pay attention to...
In Patrick Lawler's video, aside from the fun attempts at skimboarding some decidedly unskimmable water with mixed results, there's a scene at 1:08 where the camera's monopod (which was crafted from a broom handle) does something amazing, and I can't quite figure out how they did it, but it rocks.
Matt West: Cool idea, can you do it again with someone that is good at skimbording, you could get some way cool shots.
Patrick Lawler: Well this guy is really good at skimboarding, these waves are just almost un-skimmable and choppy and horrible. We just wanted to go out into a storm and see if it was possible to do.
Matt West: dude, I watched it again.
I musta been in a critical mood, it's a RAd vid!
Especially when he is paddling, funny.
P.S. I just ordered a GoPro as a result of this! Congrats!
