GoPro WiFi review and “Floaty” cam.

We got in the new GoPro WiFi combo pack – and as much as GoPro changed how easy it is to film and take photos of sports . . . the WiFi will again change how easy it is to use the GoPro.  The kit is a game changer.
All functions can be controlled from the remote that can be worn on the supplied wrist strap, put in a pocket, put on a lanyard, etc.
The screen on the remote is the exact same as the one on the HD2 Hero camera.
The BacPac the clips onto the camera and the remote set up their own little WiFi connection – with a range  stated at 600 feet!
I tested it out to about that distance and had no issues at all.
You can also control up to 50 cameras with one remote (great if you have multiple cameras).
When you get the Combo Pack – you will have to update the firmware on your camera, the remote, and the BacPac before you use it.  It took me a total of about 10 minutes to do all three.

My latest GoPro creation is the “Floaty” cam.   This is made from a chunck of a SUP paddle, some packing foam and a bolt with 72 washers on it in the base (below the water) to help keep it stable.   It worked well – but I think I want to add an old surf fin to the base for some directional stability.

Stand Up Paddleboard SELECTION

I have had some customers in the store lately that have looked at the 50 or so SUP boards we have on display and asked if that is all we have?

First off – no other store in Canada (and very, very few in the USA) have more SUP’s on display than Easy Rider does.
If you find a store with more on display than we do – take a photo and send it to me and I will give you a prize.

Secondly – just like every sport we sell – of course we have more!   Easy Rider is all about selection after all.

So . . . here is a listing of all 121 DIFFERENT stand up paddleboards we have IN STOCK – RIGHT NOW.
If we don’t have it – you don’t need it.
Why “wait for your board to be ordered in” – when you can get it today.

This list is not a “click one and buy it” deal.
I still want to make sure you are getting the right board for you.

Call or email me and I will be more than happy to guide you through the decision making process.
Of the 121 boards in stock – I have paddled 111 of them, either our demos or at dealer launches / race events / etc.
Thanks

Warren
