RE: [Paddlewise] very good downwind video

Wow, he really make moving fast look fun. I've never been real interested in
surf skis, but he makes them look fun. And as an added plus, he's probably
out pacing all the GWS following him.

Subject: [Paddlewise] very good downwind video

There's a videographer from Mooloolaba Australia who recently filmed a
downwind surf ski/ OC1 race.

He's an OC-1 paddler so he understands what he's filming.

His video of Clint Robinson is the best video that I've seen of what
it's like to paddle a surf ski or OC-1 in downwind conditions.

The videographer goes by the name Rambo.  He's assembling a great
collection of videos.  He's also doing some interesting work with the
cameras, including cameras mounted on the paddlecraft, where he has a
joystick control in an adjacent boat controlling what he's filming.
He's also built a gyroscopic balanced video unit so he can film from a
support boat.  Rambo's site is http://rambos-locker.blogspot.com/
There's some real interesting stuff there...
