'I would rather die of passion than of boredom.' - Vincent van Gogh

Me, too, Vincent! 

Here's how I killed boredom today.

Everything Happens For A Reason

That's my today's conclusion.

When I arrived at the beach at noon I realized that I had forgotten part of my GoPro equipment at home. It meant that I was unable to install the camera directly on the board. First I considered driving back home in order to do the session with the complete set-up. 

But then I looked at the waves that were coming in and decided to stay. 

I did the whole session holding the GoPro in my hand, praying not to drop it accidentally!

Everything went well. 

Lucky me I took some really nice underwater shots while paddling with the camera in my hand. Probably I wouldn't have shot these in regular circumstances. 

Everything happens for a reason though. 

I hope you guys are going to enjoy my little experiment.

There are still a lot of steps to learn both regarding the camera and the video editing software. I've done the complete post-production with GoPro Studio which I highly recommend by the way.

And.... action! "Surfing Famara" - 2:20 minutes video. Enjoy!

Moral of that story: Never underestimate the power of a nice slow motion :-)

I hope you like what you've seen. 

Any suggestions, recommendations, ideas, opinions are more than welcome. I am totally falling for that new hobby and will probably don't do anything but surfing and shooting videos the next time.

Well I hope you won't lose that bus then :-)
Happy weekend,

PS: That's how I look like when I fear losing my camera insight the wave :D
