Kealia Training for Molokai 2011

Footage of me getting prepped and paddling out of the beach near our house, Kealia. It gives a little bit of flavor for what we do paddleboarding....

Gettin on the sunscreen, rashies, & glasses...
Turning up the tunes.....
Got the phone for safety....

As you watch the video, you'll see that the from a far-away perspective, the ocean is flat (this was a pretty calm day), but up close you can see the water moving and the board adjusting to glide from wave to wave - moving like a fish through the water.

Hammerhead Shark Tagging: Form & Function

Back in the day (of my hammerhead shark research), I did a project with photographer and videographer Jonathan Bird for BBC called Sharks of the Ocean Desert. Jonathan has now re-edited part of the piece into his Blue World program.

Check it out (I start at about 4:19 into the video).



Thanks Jonathan for all the great photos and epic video!
