Sun Up Pools - 6 years ago

the GoPro won't fog up if you fill the housing chamber with AC air and close it quickly with camera inside. AC has no moisture in it so this = no fogging (condensation). Works like a charm when I free dive.

lick the gopro? that was brilliant, ill try next time.

DaLimbomaN7 - 6 years ago

this vid made me exhausted just watching. my issue with surfing is you get a wave and then all that work you did to get out to the back goes out the window and you gotta do it all over again. all that duck diving and paddling gets to me

BoogiePete Photography - 6 years ago

I think what your spit does is it causes the water to stick to the lens, in a thin film. Essentially creating a clear window of water, rather than what happens w/o the spit, where the water droplets just stick to the lense, and ruin every shot every time. I lose less clips to water on my lens now that i regularly lick a finger, wipe the lens, and dip the camera in the water and shake it briefly before each important moment i want recorded.

Anthony Perrini - 6 years ago

1:21 damn ashy Larry, ashy lips bro lol

Anthony Perrini - 6 years ago

And another thing, my GoPro Hero5 session, is pretty great. Leans never fogs, only had 2 instances of freezing from getting too hot I think, but it's pretty sweet and compact. Waterproof out of the box.

Anthony Perrini - 6 years ago

But that spit on the lens, tip is pretty awesome. Thanks for that

Daniel Chang - 6 years ago

What happened to yo lips

angelikmayhem - 6 years ago

[2:30] "I'm not sure why it works exactly, but it just works."

I can help with that. I'm guessing the "casing" you mentioned is polyethylene (usually C2H4). When water hits the plastic, the carbon atoms attempt to covalent bond with the hydrogen in the water (H2O). This force can be powerful enough to ignore gravity. Since (generally speaking) there's nothing in the atmospheric air you're breathing to attract those same hydrogen atoms, those droplets can stick for a long time.

However, in this case the saliva is acting as a surfactant -- a portmanteau of "surface" and "agent". The carbon atoms in the polyethylene now have something new to attract to, so that water just rolls off. Of course, you do have to reapply every now and then because the kinetic energy you supply while moving about combines with the gravity to gradually strip away the surfactant.

Keep in mind, though, that bacteria living in your mouth secrete acids that can damage glass over time, so for the lens itself, it's worthwhile to invest in a small bottle of RainX or something.

Jacob Roberts - 6 years ago

I definitely DON''T want to insult Atua. We have several lakes near where I live. There are at least 10 drownings reported on the news each summer. Each time the news reporter says, "This could have been prevented if [victim's name] was wearing a life jacket".

J Radc - 6 years ago

There's no need to insult him. It'd be nice if more people were concerned for others safety.

FactRandomFacts - 6 years ago

Hi! ve been watching for a while now and you're an incredible surfer! I just got a surfboard last Monday!! Its a 7 footer and Im getting the hang of it. I can't wait until I get good enough to use a shorter board, but the waves near me aren't as good as yours. Anyway can't wait for the daily videos!!!

J The DemiGod - 6 years ago

Don’t switch to a short board of the waves aren’t to big. A short board isn’t necessarily about skill. It’s more about the size of the wave. How big are your waves on average

Mark Hicks - 6 years ago

So, on average, how far out from the beach do you go? What has been the furthest you've paddled away from the beach?

Mike Kern - 6 years ago

The most impressive part of the video was actually your knowledge of the water. As you were going out the 1st time, I'm thinking about riptides, rocks, sting rays, sharks, jellyfish LOL...can you tell I'm not an Ocean person :) But yea, it was cool to see how comfortable you are in the water and for you to talk about things like spotting a good wave & using the riptides to your advantage. Thanks for the lesson :)

Atua u inspired me to go out doors and explore I can’t thank u enough and I am thinking of starting a channel

Atua Mo'e - 6 years ago

Right on dude, gotta get out & enjoy the outdoors. If you start a channel watch out for the haters, they'll try to pull you, but you just gotta ignore & block them. Haters gonna hate, creators gonna create!

You really should start your own channel you would be surprised what it does for you! If you ever need anything make sure you contact me and I might be able to help advice wise etc!
