I begin with a disclaimer.

My video of horse surfing – the odd, new sport that’s splashed into Bradenton courtesy of Great World Nature Tours– contains only before-and-after footage. The surfing suspects were too far out in Palma Sola Bay to film them making their valiant attempts to stand atop their steeds, and when I tried it for myself a short while later, I left my camera in the car.

After all, Kodak says the camera is “water resistant,” not that it’s going to stand up to being thoroughly soaked and pummeled.

I am happy to report that the camera lived to film another day, and the video is worth a glance. If you’re interested in getting some sand in your boots in this most wacky way, check it out!

This video was shot with my KODAK Zx1 Pocket Video Camera.
