Bruno,
Oh that sucks. Take your time bro, no rush.
Stoked on what you have right now.
Were you shooting surf when you lost the camera?
Either way, when you get some new surf to upload members at
YouSurfTubes will love to see it.
Plenty of clicks on your videos.
Cheers again,
Dean

Yeah... it sucks .. I was shooting at Santa Catalina and leave the camera with a girl who was supposed to capture me
surfing haha so classic...
well this was how it happens..... the boat driver was not paying attention at the sea ...he was watching us surf.... and
suddenly (like when is going to happen a "SHIT") it came a huge set.. and he has to speed up the boat over the
breaking wave and the girl with the camera was watching thru the lens at the front of the small "panga" boat and she
doesnt know what was happening, she has no time to think I guess...
before that she also take the water proof cover off for better results on shooting as she was very unexperienced on
filming.... to make it short.. when the boat hits the wave she flyes like very high and spining like when a car hits you
on a highway ... because she was at the front of the boat....landing on the edge of the boat... that knock her out and
the camera was slept from her hands and it drowns(the camera not the girl).... I saw everything from the break
I was so shocked..... it was awfull but hilarious..... well... SHIT HAPPENS and either way... it wasnt the first loss
of a low budget video camera for a low budget film maker of the Third world...
after that I decide not to buy any other video camera because I was losing money and time on it.... and better
dedicate my time and low budget to buy a photographic camera to sell the pics better than shoot video... and edit
and compress etc etc with not that good surfers ripping the waves....
well thats the story behind the low res videos of surfeapanama.com.....
I let you know about the vids... I can't afford to loose that footage
hope you enjoyed the story as I do by remembering that days
Best regards

Surf Powered Karma
I've finally had a chance to focus on the overall substance of YouSurfTubes... and from the great comments I've been getting about the site from people from New Zealand to New Jersey, it feels so right. So far, the surfers enjoy the site without the advertising that bombards them on other sites.
YouSurfTubes seems to be morphing into an amalgamation of surf films and great surf sessions from around the Globe. Surf Videographers are starting to reach out to spread their clips and trailers. Amateur film makers are beginning to use some of the tools available to post their favorite sessions and share them with their friends and further. The vibe feels more "grassroots" I guess, as well it should be. It seems like I'm bringing locals together on a grander scale. The Tube is becoming a "Spyglass" of sorts. Opening some eyeballs to the prospect of surf in places off the beaten track. My original idea for the site came about while shooting at the Mavericks Contest this year for NBC. I wanted to be able to share this incredible footage with everyone.
But How? I had a flashback that day on the cliff... picturing one of the first "Surf Flicks" I'd seen, with all my friends at a rented out Union Hall in Long Branch, NJ. Blazing Boards was the film. What a lasting impression that viewing experience left on me. Everyone hooting and hollering like a bunch of caged monkeys, revelling in Chris Bystrom's visions.
That's what I want to do with this Channel! (Yes, Channel... the web was meant for video, and TV as we know it now will someday be a dinosaur.)
I also want to Inspire other surfers to pick up a camera and roll.
But more than that... to help blazon surfing's soulful side too.

Progress
Well the site has been up since 9/11 and I was pretty close to 1,000 video views in one day... Stoked! Vids from the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Sardinia have surfaced. Just bought another domain name in case users have trouble spelling. I can't wait to see what happens next.
