Got back from our trip on Friday ... wow something about those islands. Very tough to leave!!

Here's a video of the highlights ...

Nice. I'll get there one of these days.
Curious what camera you used in the water? More to the point, what did you use to carry it?

I recently got a Panasonic Lumix TS2. It's waterproof, and I'd like to take it out surfing one of these days, but I'm not sure how to secure it while in the water...

Thanks inland ... we use a GoPro Wrist Hero camera. Not the best quality and the camera itself is definitely spartan but very reliable. They did come out with an HD version of the camera since I bought mine. We've also got a Panasonic SDR-SW20 but our first one leaked water so I'm hesitant to use the "improved" version Panasonic sent me for fear of bricking that one too.

The Lumix is a point-and-shoot, yeah? We've also got a Pentax Optio W80 that we use as a underwater point-and-shoot.

As for securing it, I jury rigged a urethane camera case attaching an athletic urethane strap through the belt loop allowing me to secure it to my arm. I picked up some sort of lanyard from a sporting goods store to tether the camera (through the wrist loop) to the case. It can be a little cumbersome but it works and I've caught waves with it ... I'll even bust it out while on the wave lol.

wow rob & rosa.... looks like y'all had alot of fun..... i'm J-E-A-L-O-U-S!!!!!!

Luv the video, Rob! It made me feel like I was in Oahu too. We're thinking about going out there again next spring. Would love to visit Maui instead, but it's so much more expensive!

I say we all go crash Malaea's pad in Maui lol.

You guys need to go on more trips so I can see more videos. haha. ALWAYS love seeing those! Looks like you two had a blast. SO cool. I loved being there the one time I have been, so I hear ya on not wanting to leave. Nice job on recording and putting the vid together! Thanks!

Great video Rob & Rosa! You two are so in love and making the most out of life I think this is what makes the quality of life so important. Don't loose your thirst for adventure..... We leave for Oahu on Sept.18th for a week and I can't wait

Awesome post. Very true.

Have a safe trip man! Have fun!
