The filming of these training videos took place over two days at Coffs Harbour in March 2011. On the water footage was captured using GoPro cameras mounted on the boats (and Peter V's head) and hand held in a rubber duck. Some of this footage appears "foggy" due to some condensation inside the camera housing. We have since fixed this problem and look forward to creating more exciting on the water footage.
