Casuarina Beach, Northern NSW.

Finding its way into my inbox this morning are some pics from my Dad, Alan. Rather than sitting in an office it seems he is out and about enjoying a leisurely morning at the beach. For Fathers Day on Sunday, we gave him a new waterproof camera, designed for the surf. It's a Go Pro Surf Camera and evidently does a great job of taking stills and though I am yet to see it, it's also able to capture video. It's a great little camera, designed to be strapped onto a wrist or onto the nose of a surfboard. Alan has captured the above images by fixing the camera to the front of his kneeboard, yes that's right he is a kneeboarder, and one of the few left of a dying breed. 

There is heaps on info and footage online about the Go Pro cameras. Plus if you too are interested in Kneeboarding, Dad spends his pre-mature retirement shaping boards and chatting across the globe with fellow Kneeboard enthusiasts. He has built himself a small website, Native Kneeboards, feel free to check it out!
