That was some big messy surf! But fun as hell. Good shots josh. I liked the camera on the handlepole footage. Need a way to keep it from pointing down after a hit of water.

Yeah I like that spot for the wide angle cam, going to make a better mount. I was just trying that strap out to see how the video would look. I'm gonna buy the non fisheye for my hel, and use the wide for hull mounting.
We need to get a waterproof camera to shoot from the suv. You can get close up but the wide angle GP video sucks. No light didn't help either.
DB it would take todo Santos to flip that ski! Lol

Nice vid Josh, how did riding the chicken ski feel ?? Maybe selling your rickter is not a bad thing for you . It's hard to believe but you seem to ride the sj harder..

Your right about the SJ, I love the Rickter but thats to much $$$ to think about resting at the bottom.... I keep thinking about your hood falling off with that fresh motor you had.
It was fun riding Lucas chicken ski, I tried to get him to unload that other SJ but it had a new motor & I wasn't aloud to break it in, lol

Josh, That's not a wide angle cam ! I think it's a low angle cam because it makes the waves appear on a low angle...j/k thanks for taking video. Monday at aprox 2pm the wind was not too bad and the waves were real nice on the outside with high tide I thought...3 tanks sore today !

Nice Vid Josh and riding everyone, sorry I couldn't make it out.
Thurs or Friday? Thurs might still be blown out and ugly, Friday much smaller but possible lighter and offshore wind

al that matters is what dean says...
The tropical Atlantic is very busy to start the month of September. Tropical cyclone Danielle passed by 1375 miles east of Florida last Saturday. Unfortunately, the quality of Danielle’s moderate-sized swell was watered down by the persistent onshore flow earlier in the work week. NOW FOR THE GREAT NEWS: WE ARE IN FOR A OVERHEAD to 2X OVERHEAD (size with quality, drive a VW bus through the tube) HURRICANE GROUND SWELL THURSDAY! The peak of Earls’s swell will be accompanied by favorable offshore wind. Earl’s forecast track, much closer to Florida’s East coast than Danielle, places him as a catagory 4 Major Hurricane (GENERATING SEAS UP TO 45 FEET OFFSHORE!!) within 350 miles of Florida’s east coast late Wednesday/early Thursday. EARL WILL PRODUCE A POTENTIALLY EPIC SWELL PEAKING IN SIZE THURSDAY AFTERNOON, lingering nicely into Friday with offshore winds forecast well into the afternoon. I don’t get this excited too often, but given the developing weather scenario EARL’S CLOSE PROXIMITY GROUND SWELL WILL MAKE THURSDAY and FRIDAY DAYS TO REMEMBER, with the largest, quality surf we have seen in many years.
WEDNESDAY: Wind backing ENE/NE increasing to 9-18 mph with waves starting the morning at 2-3′, building steadily through the day to 3-5′ (occ + late) in moderate period NE wind swell and increasing ESE hurricane ground swell. The East Bahama buoy observations very early Wednesday morning documented its brush with major Hurricane Earl: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41046
THURSDAY: Wind starting out sideoffshore from the NNW 6-16 mph, backing more offshore from the NW during the day with breaking wave size up dramatically through the morning to 5-8′ (occ 2X overhead bombs by mid-afternoon) in ESE/E hurricane ground swell.
FRIDAY: Wind WSW/SW 5-15 mph through the morning into early afternoon with waves “dropping” in size to 3-occ 5′ (a few larger bombs still possible into early afternoon) in diminishing ENE/NE Hurricane Earl ground swell. An S/SE sea breeze will ripple to bump up surface conditions as the afternoon progresses.
SATURDAY: Wind W/WNW 5-13 mph through the morning, shifting to N/NE in the afternoon with waves dropping (like a rock) down to 1.5-occ 2.5′ in residual/mixed NE/E swell.
SUNDAY: Wind WSW/SW 5-12 mph, shifting to east by early afternoon with waves 1-2′ (occ +) in mixed direction swell.
