Great perspective but that looks a little more than the average toy helicopter -

I have friends who have strapped GoPros to their kitesurf kites and achieved some really nice results - maybe something we should have a play with down the beach sometime ?

Loving the edging where the red kayak twizzles around on the sand 55 mins in. I'll give that a go this arvo...; pretty obvious that it'd be at least as useful in shortening contact length in shallows/land than afloat, but then theoretical physics never has been my strongpoint...

true, if your average "toy" helicopter costs $1000-2000
The one depicted is a bit more expensive....

These are a couple of pictures of Skern Lodge in Devon with a £30 kite, a GoPro, and a bit of footrest foam! I'm hoping to get some over the surf on Friday if the conditions allow.......
