    shooting video in the surf

    Anyone out here take cameras into the lineup? I'm looking for a waterproof enclosure for shooting video. I don't want to blow the bank on it, but I don't want to ruin the camera either. I had the idea to put the camera into a clear otterbox -- start recording, seal it up, and paddle out. Anyone do this?

    Yeah, brah. I mean, I never wipe out or anything, so that should work fine. I'm thinking I might just use nothing, paddle out one-armed and hold the camera with my free hand. (Ever see someone hand-roll a kayak while keeping their hat dry? Nifty trick.)

    The Aquapac idea is basically the spendiest I'm willing to go, though who knows how well they work -- it's a $119 breadbag with integral rubber band.
