GoPro accessories what to get ?

Also: no classic rock for the soundtrack.

Gratuitous bikini shots recommended.

agree !

Mark, where did you get the flymount from ?

Here's a video of board cam , helmet cam , clew cam and mast cam. the more cam angles the better . A selfie stick can do wonders but not for windsurfing.

Contact Flymount directly and speak with Chris: info@flymount.com. He is a very helpful friendly guy. Even though Flymount are a small UK company they have (or at least did have) a supply of inventory in Toronto. My order arrived quickly and there were no duties. Best of all Chris was also able to hook me up with the previous version at a discount. It might be worth asking if he has any of these previous models left (or even factory seconds). The differences between the current and previous model are negligible. I ended up paying only $60 CAD each plus a marginal domestic shipping charge.

Nice video. That Roy Orbison song is very applicable (even if it is classic rock. )

Regarding the helmet cam. I considered this for about 30 seconds then retired the idea to the bad idea bin. I was too concerned the camera and/or mount might dimple or puncture a panel while beach starting, carrying the sail etc. Any feedback on this?

Great video Jerry! I like all the different perspectives.
I've got a few mounts..... Helmut, Fly, Clewview and just got an over the shoulder mount but haven't tried it yet. I actually think the flymount on the mast is good for b cam shots but works best if you're Philip Koster, in other words you need to be doing backies, forwards, and other sic aerials to get some cool shots. I used it in Maui and I doesn't do wave sailing justice. I need to experiment with it more to find better placements for DTL sailing. For blasting around, bump and jump sailing I like the clewveiw but it's nice to throw in some other coverage as well. The helmut mount will puncture a sail if you forget about it and carry your sail on your head, I did it once.

"After watching surfers ride the barrel with the camera in their mouth I decided to finally give it a try. I didn't realize how personal and connected this camera can be to your own experience when you get it right. It was a little difficult to breath with the camera bit in my mouth but I got used to it. Hearing the water on the rails and the waves crashing in full surround sound feels like your there with me. The footage is amazing and just the beginning of what's possible. After this session I've been so excited to keep working on this it's a way to show windsurfing like never before. So enjoy windsurfing through my eyes."

What an awesome video! I got such a rush watching it. The mouth mount appears to be such a silly idea but outside of wearing a set of Google Glass, this might be the best POV angle. Learned a fews things too, Levi's back hand is waaaay back on his boom on the bottom turn. Thanks for sharing Dave.
