The Brown Fish Handplane Project
Jason Hall from Daily Bread has organised a great little project. A keen bodysurfer, Jason is sending a Brown Fish Handplane, fitted with a GoPro Camera, on a round the world bodysurfing journey. Over the next year the handplane will make 22 stops across the globe, and 22 bodysurfers will create 22 short films of the waves they ride.
I've put my hand up to be one of the Australian filmers, as have four other fellas - g'day Peter, Lachlan, Duncan and Mateo!
The handplane will begin it's journey soon and you can keep track of it, and also view the incoming footage, on Daily Bread or here at Swellnet.//STUART NETTLE

Sick!
I want to see you get shacked out at Solanders with that thing Stu!
:-D
Is this finished yet?
Not to sure what happened here Greg. I had it for a while and filmed a session but it came out terrible - lot of spray on the lens and it turned hollow 5 foot waves into 2 foot mushburgers. If everyone else had that experience I don't think the project went too far.
I think GoPro cameras only work on surfboards because they are positioned higher and away from the spray and wash.
