Found - Camera (do you know this dude?)

Ha!  As often happens, it seemed much more epic at the time!  I will do that though and put the link here for your viewing pleasure.

 

Awesome how everyone was able to rally to find you!  Looking forward to the video!

Yep, not nearly as cool as I remember it but remember to factor in the GoPro wave multiplier, it was a nice big wave that sent me over the falls.

oops, here's the link:



 

funny how you can hear it skipping across the sand...

Reminds me of this camera that was lost and found in a shorter timeframe. Check out the condition of the housing.

On my tuna fishing trips, I connect the camera to a strap worn on my neck. I can't swim; so... 

Didn't see any fish   

i was gonna ask what the camera looked like being lost at sea for 8 months.  surprised video was even recoverable. 

I'd send GoPro the camera and the story.  Chances are they will send you a free replacement just for the advertising.

I sent GoPro a message from their website and also included a link to this thread.  The head strap is in really good condition if a bit smelly.  My dog was REALLY interested in it last night.  The housing is in good condition except for the scratches.  Also a little rust or tarnish got in from the buttons onto the camera itself though it's very faint.

Wearing the headstrap in the surf without a leash was pretty dumb, I won't do that again.

Glad it all worked out!

Gopro was picked up tonight.  It was a gift from his Mom.    What area was that weight belt/knife lost in?  I'm all over that.  Better than hunting mushrooms.

Batt -

I am going to build you a custom rod for free to acknowledge your efforts to return the Go Pro and your efforts to assist Gabe at Albion. Will have it done in the spring. Will PM you to get your preferences. Instant karma is going to get you.

In case any of you guys are interested in fish...Here's a screen grab from the video.  It was only in view for a second.

AWESOME!

That whole video was cool hearing and seeing the camera bounce across the bottom!

Is that a Halibut or a sole??

Very cool either way!

Thanks for sharing!
