Here's an 82.5 mph pass

Here's an 82.5 mph pass. It was very windy. I hope you don't get sick. Camera was actually doing a lot of bobbing from wind gusts. Boat didn't do too bad. When I started to air out the hull I get hit with a gust of wind from the sides(needed lots of correction) River is narrow and runs north-south. Wind was coming from the west(bad combination)



Any suggestions on how reduce the wind/air turbulance sounds ? I saw a video Hobie had where his camera was mounted on his ski pylon and he didn't have near the wind/air turbulance sound ?!

Might get lucky and get some video of the "missing link" bluehealer and his new to him 300x on his Pulsare. We have a run scheduled for Saturday afternoon !!!:bigthumb:
 
Well THAT'S going into my new movie project for sure.... Hope you dont mind!!! Wish I had the real footage instead of the crappy You Bloop reproduction, but it'll get the point across!

Cool vid idea, btw.

Neat video!

Some of the other videos on here used foam over the mic. Seemed to cut the wind noise while not losing the sound of the motors.
