What George Greenough used for Big Wednesday, Innermost Limits of Pure Fun and Crystal,Voyager.
He did first in tube filming and it was so new that Pink Floyd put the Echos track to it .
Check the next episode of the Aussie surf history soon

Way before, GoPros, I don‘t have a great love for them!

But you can now get genuine waterhousings for your Iphone, they are a little pricey, some are less than GoPros!
Pushing my. piggy bank for one, the phone video quality may be a little less than the GoPro! :D

sweet! The quality of 16mm film is going to be much better than a crappy gopro or phone cam any day.

35mm and you can see for yourself “ The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun” and “ Crystal Voyager” two of Greenough’s works he also did the water footage for “Big Wednesday”.
