Here is just a short video I put together using GoPro's new editing software. It was pretty quick and easy. Let me know what you guys think.

i think you really need to learn how to use a go-pro properly:

for P.O.V.: mount it so you can see more of the action and your body and board
for 3rd person: get it upclose any way you can..

this, for me, was unwatchable.

fair enough ive been trying to figure out a way to get closer will keep working on that and get more of me and my board. Sorry you didnt like it.

no need to apolgise though!

if you want to get closer: get an inflatable, a small inflatable raft or big tube or whatever and put it on a low mounted line/rope thats about6 ft shorter then the wake-line (thats mounted to a tower), then go sit in the inflatable and film from there. put the gopro on a pole!

for P.O.V. you can attach the gopro on your helmet but with a longer arm so you can turn it downwards more.

on the cable you can also film each other with a gopro on a 3ft long pole and do doubles. you have to stay really close to make it interesting. there's also a rotary mount for your helmet which makes it especially awesome

any idea where i can get a rotary mount? as for the tube idea I have tried it. Its just a bit of a struggle to keep it inside the wake. Im thinking about just riding doubles behind the boat with a shorter rope we will see. any more ideas would be awesome.
