Went to parsons again just before the new year started. The forecast was for an inconsistent 1-2ft so i wasn't getting my hopes up for anything great. When we arrived we were greeted with a nice 3 ft swell. Wind wasn't perfectly offshore but it was still pretty clean and there were some empty ones around so we were pretty happy. Unfortunately i surfed so crap for some reason. I got a couple but couldn't snag a good one and wore most of the bigger sets on the head while paddling back out after catching a wave. It was just one of those days. I was so frustrated. To add to my frustration, my gopro froze up on me and then after getting caught by three 4 footers on the head, the base plate for my camera snapped (see above photo)and the camera fell out of its clip. When i came up from getting rolled i looked at my board to see that the camera was gone. My heart in my throat i quickly realised that it was still attached to the safety line that i had attached to my leash. Phew, nearly lost the cam before I'd even had a chance to get any good footage.
Ordered a new base plate today so will get it back in action as soon a possible. Here are a couple of frame grabs from the day.
