This is with a HeroCam. 100 dollars WELL SPENT! :) You can mount them anywhere, they use them on the hooks on Deadliest Catch.

He was stand up paddle surfing, which makes him crazier.

Erik I saw this a couple of weeks ago on yahoo, pretty cool.

Only shows they great whites are not quite the Man Eaters people make them out to be. Its becoming increasingly more common for people to scuba outside of the cage with them.

Would I do it heck no, but would I do what this guy did- maybe.

Yeah, I love these cameras....I have two now. I have the Hero HD though. Friend of mine just borrowed one for his trip to Germany to film riding in his friend's Rx8 on Nurburgring. Great still shots and underwater quality. I bought mine for my diving trip to Australia next year.

I'd be going to church every sunday for the rest of my life counting my blessings after I film a video like that......Man that must have been cool....Reminds me of the cover of africa geographic with the guy being follwed by the great white while in a kayak.

I love that pic! The great white in the wave is crazy too.

I respect the ocean, but from further away.
