Utah Windriders Association

Threaded the needle between the cloud cover for a short but sweet ride. Well powered on my 13m for about 45 min. then it started getting gusty and a storm was approaching from the south, so I stopped and snapped a few pictures.

Nice session! What time was the wind?

If I remember right it was somwhere around 4:30 with a couple hours of wind the first hour was the best.

wind started at like 3:00, and i got there at 3:30, it was just enough to keep my 14 in the air but built quite nicely over a half hour or so. I rode 14 for a couple hours then 12. i also lost my new go pro that only had three passes on it...i really wish they floated.

I've had my GoPro pop loose from my board a few times and I've heard that it happens frequently. The mount can come off and the plastic housing that attaches to the mount can easily break. I've had both of these happen. I always leash it to something other than the mount (footstrap if its on my board or strap if its on my helmet), but if the housing happens to crack where the leash is attached to the GP, you're screwed anyway. luckily, this hasn't happened to me yet. If you get another one, there are a couple of companies that make what is essentially a life jacket for GP, so it will float. here's one: http://camfloat.wordpress.com/author/camfloat/ also, i've seen a pretty sturdy board mount that screws to your fin mount and has a body that surrounds the gopro so it can't break off http://jupiterkiteboarding.com/store/kite-hero-twin-mount-gopro-cameras-p-3028.html I don't have either of these, mostly becasue i've been too lazy to order them, but both items look like they'd help with not losing the GP.

My gopro is at the bottom of the ocean. GoPro Floaty Backdoor. Good name. http://gopro.com/camera-accessories/flo ... Learn-More
