In this video, I delve into the challenges I've faced while filming e-foiling sessions and my efforts to provide viewers with a more accurate representation of the sport. Starting with my frustrations with traditional filming techniques and the lack of proper representations in most videos, I express the desire to capture the true capabilities and excitement of foiling.

I discuss my attempts at different mounting methods, such as the front mount and carbon fiber pole, and their limitations in showcasing the board's navigation effectively. I then introduce my latest approach using carbon fiber to achieve drone-like shots from a distance. However, I maintain realistic expectations, knowing that success is not guaranteed.

I highlight the properties of carbon fiber and its suitability for mounting, emphasizing its lightweight nature and potential for capturing long shots. I also address the safety measures and preparations involved, including the use of safety catches and lanyards to protect the camera.

Lastly, I discuss the challenge of making the mount float due to its weight and explore possible solutions. Join me on this journey as I strive to enhance the filming experience of e-foiling and provide viewers with a more immersive and accurate portrayal of the sport.

While waiting for the glue to dry I explore thoughts on subjects such as materialism and channel criticism. With a touch of introspection, I navigate the frustrations that arise during the filmmaking process, shedding light on the challenges and obstacles faced. Furthermore, I unravel the complexities surrounding inadequate eFoil representations and how the current product marketing is missing the mark.  

Through insightful analysis and personal anecdotes, we delve into the intriguing realm of materialism and examine its impact on our lives. With a critical lens, we question societal constructs, fostering a deeper understanding of their influence. Join us on this intellectual journey as we challenge conventions, embrace introspection, and explore the multifaceted nature of these captivating topics.
