The summer of 2012 was just another summer for kiteboarding \ud83d\ude42
\nOne of the favourite destinations for Romanian kiteboarders and windsurfers is Gokceada, a Turkish island where you can get in just one day driving from Bucharest and where you can benefit from the Meltemi wind – a constant and powerful summer wind.<\/p>\n

One of the days I was just playing with my Gopro<\/a>. It was a beautiful sunset and all the colors were nice.
\nI mounted the camera on the board using a flat adhesive mount.<\/p>\n

I was riding on an off-shore wind and I was trying to stay as close to the shore as possible. After just 5 minutes, while I was landing a jump, the camera fell into the water.
\nSurprisingly it was not the mount that broke, but the plastic link between the camera case and the adhesive mount.<\/p>\n

At that moment the camera was at the “back” of the board, as I was riding to the right side, so I didn’t notice the camera wasn’t there anymore.
\nI only noticed that when I turned and… oops! No camera!<\/p>\n

I landed the kite as fast as I could and I went back into the water for some very very long 45 minutes, looking for the camera using my snorkeling equipment while it was getting dark and cold \ud83d\ude42
\nAs I was starting to lose hope, one of my friends came into the water and he was very lucky: in only 5 minutes he found the camera!
\nWe were so amazed that the camera was still filming after all this time.<\/p>\n

Such a pitty it didn’t fell with the lens facing up:) We could have seen all the fish passing by.<\/p>\n

This is a short video of the story above:<\/p>\n

And the story doesn’t stop here. It looks like this camera just didn’t want to be with me. After one and a half years I lost it again, this time in the city, while moving from a place to another between two shootings. This time I didn’t get so lucky…
\nSo right now I’m just waiting for GoPro Hero 4<\/a> to be released \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
