The Ultimate GoPro/Insta360 Windsurf Mount

Alan Cole — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 04:52:00 +0000

I’ve tried a number of different mounting options for my GoPro and Insta360 camera’s over the years. For certain sports a helmet mount or handlebar mount are obvious, for windsurfing though it keeps evolving. There have been helmet mounts, boom mounts, mast mounts and plenty of variations on this theme. One of my favourites, especially...

GoPro Windsurfing

I had a pretty good surf ski session on Friday afternoon as the sunset. The conditions were quite challenging for surf skiing with 20 knot wind and some messy surf. I impressed myself by staying dry though so was looking forward to editing and sharing my GoPro footage, especially as I had the camera mounted...

Tide to Tide 2017

Alan Cole — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 11:00:52 +0000

For some reason I decided to do the Tide to Tide mountain bike race again this year. I don’t know why as I’ve barely ridden my mountain bike since last year and I certainly haven’t done any long rides. Why then would 6 hours on it through the forests, dunes and along the beach at Pembrey...

GoPro Mounting Accessories

Alan Cole — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 09:27:00 +0000

If you haven’t already noticed, I had a new GoPro Hero 4 Silver for Christmas, complete with lots of GoPro mounting accessories. I also had plenty of GoPro mounting accessories leftover from my previous GoPro camera. What I didn’t have was somewhere to keep them all, but Morgan had a nice silver carry case that...

Christmas SUP Surf Session

Alan Cole — Mon, 28 Dec 2015 06:52:46 +0000

The Christmas Holidays continue and we’ve almost lost track of which day it is, but I remembered it was Sunday so ended up having a fairly busy day cycling, swimming SUP Surfing, walking on the beach and indulging! The Usual Sunday Morning It started like any other Sunday morning for me, up early at 4:30am and...

Kiting at Ynyslas

Alan Cole — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 06:39:28 +0000

Half term here again already, so after making camp chairs in the morning Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his kite and the GoPro. Last time we tried this it started pouring with rain. This time it was much better, the wind was better and there were even a few small patches...

Aerial Kite Photography

Alan Cole — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:26:26 +0000

Well, that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea was to head over to the beach to make the most of the sunshine, get the kites out, fly them for a bit and then mess around trying to attach my GoPro to them to do some aerial photography. Morgan and I headed over with all...

Back on the Water – Windsurfing at Ynyslas

Alan Cole — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:59:00 +0000

Well, after a day in the hills on Sunday and my first mountain bike ride for ages, it was time to go windsurfing for the first time in months too. Most people who know me will know that I ‘usually’ windsurf pretty much anytime there’s wind which here means most days of the year! However,...

MTBing at Nant yr Arian

Alan Cole — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:10:46 +0000

Its been a while since I’ve been properly Mountain Biking – So long in fact that when I got my bike out yesterday it still had the race number on it from a race I did back in August – The CRC MTB Marathon in Abergavenny. It was therefore nice to get out for a little spin...

As promised, here’s some GoPro video footage from the CRC MTB Marathon event at Abergavenny that I rode at the weekend. And, although I didn’t have my GPS with me, here’s a GPS track of the route (as ridden by Jay).
