I am pretty much in the water everyday of the shoot and this year have been using my Canon 1DX in my Liquid Eye housing with a 24-105 zoom lens. It is an awesome set up and I always take meticulous care as I enter the water to give the camera a little test dunk to check for leaks, a couple of times in the past I failed to do this and lost a couple of cameras in the process. Working with top pros like Victor Fernandez, Klaas Voget, Gollito Estredo, Max Rowe and Adam Lewis in the water is always a pleasure and we are often hooting and hollering in the water when one of them has pulled of a sick move right in front of the camera. When it is a jump session at Sprecks, Victor is a real machine in the water; somehow he always finds the right gust and always goes huge when he hits a steep ramp. I have had plenty of close shaves when he has flown right over the top of me but always trust him to bail if it all goes wrong! Gollito is the king of looking at the camera while throwing moves perilously close to the lens, while at Hookipa you can always rely on the likes of Klaas and Adam to go for the biggest waves and smack the gnarliest lips!. You need that mix of styles and strengths in the sailors to be sure of nailing the variety of shots required.
