My friend, Duane decided he wanted to try to get some video while surfing. He made a nice set up to hold his camera, but after a couple tries decided to give up the endeavor. Taking videos and photos from a kayak isn't easy and can sometimes take away from the enjoyment of what your doing at the time; however, I feel it does increase your enjoyment as you get to relive some of the moments later. I have a few long videos that I've set to music and I watch them at home sometimes on the days I can't get out on the water. They only get me excited for my next trip out. I certainly understand why some people just want to live in the moment and not have to be concerned with cameras, but having photography in your mind also encourages you to look at things in a different light. Sometimes instead of getting in the way of beauty, it make you look for it in another way and maybe you see something you wouldn't have been looking for normally. It's true though, even if a picture is worth a thousand words, it still doesn't beat the personal experience. But until you can all come kayaking with me, I'll try to share an occasional photo!

Like classic wooden boats, I appreciate those who love them and restore them and I love to look at them. But I'd rather be out there doing it than inside fixing it up. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
