Good wave

Land based wins hands down for me. Go pro doesn't do it justice!

Mast mount is the problem - no relief. Boom mount (back of boom, facing forward and across the sailor) captures the wave better. Nice riding btw.

Naa. Too slow

Exactly, so no problem tightening up the turns when it's powerful?
How about wave 360s?
At the top turn easy to recover over white water?

If the land based camera had the zoom in it would be great viewing.
Never rated mast Mount for GoPro makes you car sic watching it....I prefer chest mount for GoPro...that's my 2cents..great wave sailing though??

I think the mast mount makes some great jumping shots, it's probably best used with a combination of angles.
Look at Eleanor's

You can get pretty good results with a GoPro but positioning is critical. Mast mounted it needs to be up between the last two battens and looking back a bit, in front of the boom looking back captures the wave better. This was from a couple of days ago at Phillip Island in Vic in pretty tiny 1-2 foot and I am still on my L plates in the waves. Just stick with Wide angle, Super View distorts things too much.
