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
