got any of me barry?
I have very little idea of what video I have. I was pointing my camcorder at the strange thingees moving around in the water trying to get what I could. I have more video but I haven't gone through/uploaded it yet. That is a weekend task. The videos I put up were the low hanging fruit. I also have some riding to do over the weekend. I hope the freighters are plentiful for some more video.

I was trying to figure out how to use the new cam and didn't get very complete video of this event. After a while I concenrtrated on solving the problems so I can do better at Surf Slam. I learned much and am thinking hard about those solutions.

I am used to a viewfinder that you stick your eye up to. The flip out screen sucks donkey "parts". Especially when the sun starts heading down the sky. You can't wear shades and see the screen. My eyes were on fire driving back from the event.

I am thinking making something like a gun sight for the top. At the end my eyes hurt so bad I was looking along the top to aim. I was at 25X zoom looking down the top of the cam for the Final. Considering that it didn't turn out too bad. The area covered at 25X zoom is about like a business card at 6 feet. You guys are a ways out there.

Watch the videos you are probably in there somewhere. If you find yourself I can trim the clip down to just you. We can work out the details of who is what is where is why later.
