Hey Guys,

I know this is an extremely long shot... but I had a GoPro clamped to my boom which got snapped off during an embarrassing stumble in the shorebreak.

Just in case anybody finds it, could you please send me a message?

It has some footage of some poor quality wave sailing before I was defeated by the shorebreak, along with some photos of my friends and I messing around with an air rifle.

I appreciate your help if it turns up; as for now I am at a loss on how to stimulate my GoPro induced narcissism

Thanks,
Shaun

Hey Shaun sorry to hear that mate its gutting losing kit!

Did the gopro have a floaty back door on it? I know mine sinks like a stone if it doesn't.

I guess you mean Dutchies? If so, it will be right next to about 3 of my fins.
Oh and a fair bit of my skin also

But to be serious - may be worth a snorkle in a day or two, it is cleaning up.

Ah yep, it was Dutchies.

Good plan actually, a snorkel could be worth it. If not, I will definitely have to buy a float for the next GoPro as my previous one was in the "sinks like a stone category. "

Thanks for the input

Hey - I found a go pro while kiting yesterday at dutchies! i havent looked at footage or anything but im sure itll be yours- send me a message 0420660675

Nice work Becca.

Ahhh, how good is life today: go windsurfing with camera gear good enough to make movies with that you can now buy from Kmart for less than a weeks wage, loose it and then post a note on a web site and somebody finds it and you get it back.....


Now for all the old crusties who were sailing back in the 80-90's you can finish the sentace so this generation can understand how tough/poor/hard/fun/dumb life was back in the day

"Back it the day when I started wave sailing ........ "

Good on you becca!

Just amazing, I picked it up last night. What're the chances? Thanks so much for finding it and holding on to it for me. Great to see that level of decency. Now if only the footage was as impressive as it was in my imagination...

I'm curious now - is it 30mins of windsurfing, then 4hrs of Nemo looking at it before the battery went flat?
