Thanks pal, good stuff!

How did you mount the camera?

I used the boat hook in one of my fishing rod holders. The GoPro camera has a waterproof housing with clamp mounts (and others). It's a robust system for outdoor sports, that's not too technical:

The pole is just visible in the lower edge of the frame. I used duct tape to keep it from rotating away from the forward view.

igor, that other video of the bosun's chair swinging is cool. I like your suggestion to put a camera in the guy's hands.

I believe most of your speed is comming from those "great" cushions. Glad to see your enjoying them. Hope you had a great trip to China!
