I made a little video the other day!
Surfing at Turtles in Cardiff By The Sea, CA.
Hope you enjoy a little surf stoke! Thanks

Pretty cool. Thanks. How did you mount the gopro?

**HotTate** · 01-28-2015, 12:12 PM

Mouth Mount
I used the display mount that it's attached to when it's in the box and duct taped a floaty, commonly used for boat keys. It's just soft to bite on, but won't float the camera.
But I also had it tied around my neck.

I like that you were willing to potentially choke yourself to death for our enjoyment. That was great, thanks!

Saw a guy out at Sunset Cliffs saturday with the same set up. Two hours, mouth has to get tired

Ha! I was picturing a ball gag like set up. I would likely drown if I tried it.

Thanks for the video.

My brother used to work for Vitamin Water and they had some promo boards made. I ended up with one.

I made another video. This one is WAY better. Thought I'd just post it in this thread...
Enjoy my version of Dio's "Rainbow in the dark"

Nice vid! Waves look fun!

**TomCrac** · 02-04-2015, 11:22 AM

Thanks for sharing! Water looks great. Finally some video stoke that I don't have to turn the volume off

**Xover** · 02-04-2015, 06:06 PM

Thanks! If people are stoked on them, I'll keep doing it. They're super fun to make.

Love it. Keep em coming. I even took my GoPro out saturday. Surf sucked but I do have a few clips

Music- havent posted up any vids in a while. How does You tube handle music with vids? I.E-copyright issues. Do they have a good list of useable tunes?

RUN AWAY!

**Tectonically_Neglected** · 02-12-2015, 07:29 AM

Looks like my previous try on providing kudos on the vids didn't make it.

Kudo's given, sweet vids!

**406** · 02-12-2015, 01:36 PM

did you get out during the big waves? I went out Sunday and spent most of the time just trying to stay alive.

I can't remember what day it was, but one day this week I paddled out for 15 minutes, ended up about 200 yards down the beach from where i started. Caught two huge close outs and called it after 30min in the water. GoPro battery was dead.

Sometimes they'll put weird restrictions of your video, or not allow upload at all. Sometimes they'll throw a "buy this song on amazon" link underneath the video. They do have a license free library, but it sucks.

**TEXASS** · 02-17-2015, 02:00 PM

been trying everything to get something useable , even royality free..........but like you stated most of that sucks.

Maybe I can find a good street musician or unsigned. I have a true rock star in the family , maybe I can get him shitfaced and record his acustic strumming at the next family gathering
