Was a decent day at Greenwood, beautiful weather compensating for somewhat patchy wind with LONG lulls (10 minutes are so) with decent rides. 4 people out on 5.7-6.0, some wings.

Cool footage, I like the angle!! I was waiting for the jibe, we got to see the step but I am guessing that one ended with a splash
I was up at Lake Andrea practicing with the wing yesterday, there were a bunch of windsurfers and a couple other guys just learning to wingfoil. Beautiful windy day but very gusty, ended up rigging down - and gusts still got to be too much by 3:30pm. Greenwood was decent today, Chris T. and I out on foils - where I made plenty of splashes myself!!

I was doing Rain-X before. It doesn't work as well as the hydrophobic lens, and you have to keep re-applying Rain-X every session. If you're filming once in a while, that's alright but if you're not ok with the occasional droplets spoiling your vids or if you plan on filming a lot, then the lens might be the way to go.
The lens really works well for a full season and maybe more depending on how much you intend to take your GoPro out on the water. I filmed almost everything in 2021 which ended up being a little above 90 sessions total and the footage was a lot better quality. I just changed it after more than a year of usage as I saw it started to lose its efficacy.
Also, a small bottle of Rain-X and the lens are about the same price!
