GOPRO SURF HERO WIDE [02.04.2009] Category: Tech

"Prove you can actually surf..."

You always hope that someone saw you pull in on that last barrel that rolled through. "Jonny, see that sick barrel I just got....yeeeew!" ... "Nup? You're full of sh*t Benno!" Well now you can show your mates, that actually you're not a lying little punk...

Shoot 56 minutes of TV resolution video with sound or 5 megapixel photos automatically for over an hour while your surf. Waterproof to 100 feet/30 meters.

Features a 170º ultra wide angle lens and high-resolution 5 megapixel sensor. The lens is so wide, it can capture a 6'2" surfer from head to toe while he/she is riding a 6'0" surfboard.

Designed for maximum convenience, simply press the shutter button on the paddle out and the Surf HERO will shoot TV resolution video or 5MP photos every 2 seconds for an hour while you surf. Once it starts shooting video or photos you can forget about it until it's time to review your footage at the end of your session.

The Surf HERO includes two, removable mounting options:

1. A stick-on baseplate that takes a couple of minutes to set up and go.
2. An FCS™ compatible plug mounting system that allows you to allen-screw your camera into the deck of your board when you install an FCS™ center fin plug into the deck of your board. Easily done by any ding repairer or shaper.

Both options allow the camera to be quickly attached and removed from your surfboard.


mesurf's thoughts:
Looks like it could be a fun little tool to pull out when you get a non crowded little barrel along the coast. We are working on getting one into mesurf HQ to test out and see how it holds up. If and when we get one in, we will bring you the full rundown as to whether it's worth busting out the 325bones or not...

• LIGHTNING BOLT RE-LAUNCH [07.May.2009] Category: Surf clothing

  

  Lightning bolt is an iconic surf brand that began in 1972 and has since pretty much disappeared...until now. Someone has pumped in some new $ and decided it's time to re-launch the BOLT. Here's hoping they come back with some sweet offers.

• ARNETTE | NEW STYLES FOR 2010 [09.Apr.2010] Category: Sunglasses

  

  As we head into the US and European summer, the brands start to drop their latest sunnies ranges. Arnette are the latest with some dope looking shades. We lost all hope with Arnette due to the poor quality and releases they dropped over the past few years, but we're slowly regaining confidence
