Shark Attack Footage

I was on the beach about 200 yards from the shark attack in Destin last week. Check back later for my video footage of the Coast Guard boats, sheriff truck, medical helicopters, life guards and crowd of onlookers.

As John's dad made the call, this is starting to look a lot like Jaws. One shark attack, no problem, back in the water. Second shark attack, hmmm. Big holiday weekend coming...

Watch out for the men in the grey suits.

Jack Johnson

I think this is the week Jeff said Jack Johnson was supposed to be on the Giuseppina... It's been 3 1/2 weeks since we've been back (sigh). Jack's show schedule seems to support this as he just finished up his tour.
Heather and I are going to come to Atlanta for this show. We'll coordinate with ya Steve. I think you said you already had tix.

My substitute for waves right now. You thought the rocks at Ollie's hurt, this wood is brutal.

Jaws on Maui

The link that Lance posted was

http://www.surfline.com/video/windowsmedia/slvideopop2.htm

I am going to Maui in November. The trip is going to have an effect on my bank account similar to Ross getting hammered by that wave.

Rough cut of video Day 1

A rough cut of video on Day 1 is here [30 Megs]. Right-Click and "Save Target As."

I cut this down to about 10 minutes of highlights. Unfortunately, it includes only Mike, Lance and me.

Mike is sending me the rest of the videos and I can post the rough cuts when I get them. The end goal is to have a finished video, music, and voiceovers.

Remember when I caught this wave?

Cracked Fin

I unpacked my board and realized the airlines cracked a fin off. It's still about 75% attached, so I guess I will just glass around it.

Most Photos Eva!

Finished adding my photos here: http://www.stpetemag.com/thejumpoff/index.php?album=Costa_Rica

I'm compressing all the high res versions now plus my video which could take overnight. When they're done I'll send them all to you all using www.yousendit.com at which time you'll have to download them (somewhere just under a gig).

I'm anxiously awaiting some video and Juan Cross' pics.

Keep checking

I keep checking back here for updates... not sure what I'm hoping to see exactly. I didn't get any more pictures posted last night as I went to see Star Wars (thumbs up). Hopefully tonight I'll get the rest posted.

Anyone know the scoop with Mike's video or Lance's pics?
