The really loud toggle clack near the beginning is me accidentally smacking 
the camera with my paddle as I was throwing in an emergency brace.

What I didn't know was that I broke the epoxy bond to the camera case when I 
smacked it.  When I got ashore the case came off in my hand.  It was 
tethered to the boat but how it stayed on the mount is beyond me.

I kind of like the toggle clacks.  It's really neat when you catch a good 
wave and the toggle starts a rat a tat tat as you surf down the face.  I've 
got a friend you paddles one of those awful Valley boats and his toggle 
hangs on single line and does the same thing.  When ever I hear it I know 
he's flying along grinning like a mad man.
