Windsurfing POV

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to windsurf, this helmet cam video will give you a good idea. You can really feel the speed the wind surfer is traveling at, especially as the surfer passes other wind surfers. This is an exhilarating, wet, wild clip, it is very color correct and very stable for having been recorded while skimming over the surface of the ocean.

These windsurfers make this look easy but it’s far from easy. You have to have some good muscles and skills in order to keep the sail upright and correctly positioned in order to keep you moving quickly across the water. Your slightest moves can change your direction and speed, not only your hand movement, but your full body movement, including your feet.

This is really a great video and the user can actually even watch it as a training video, allowing him to see how he reacted and interacted with his board and sail from moment to moment. Further into it, you see someone ahead of you leave the surface of the water, fly up into the air in a flip and then land back down on the water. Wow, that was quite a sight! That person appeared to be kite surfing. This is really a fantastic POV camera video, the surroundings are gorgeous and the surfers look like they’re having a blast.
