A dumb question about the Winkipop Cam.. On bigger days the camera zooms out and there is often a separate crowd off to the right. Is this another Winkipop takeoff zone or are we seeing a crew at Bells? Thanks

That's Bells, FP. On bigger days we both zoom the camera out and the wave itself moves further outside, so the takeoff area for Bells comes into view.

The zoomed out option is much better in my opinion. A much better overview of the area. You can see how straight the swell is and the wind conditions. At the moment it is way too close and for some reason the water looks a very weird colour as well. Zoom out please.
