Spend the day on the water. Bring the story home.
Check the place and conditions before you leave, keep the route and views while you paddle, then look back when you are ashore.
On the water
Enjoy the view and know where you are
The phone stays at the board nose. Glance at route and time when needed, then get back to the water.

Keep the part you loved

ON THE WATER
One view of you, one view of what lies ahead
Mount the phone at the board nose. One camera keeps you in the scene; the other keeps the waterway and scenery ahead. Later, you can travel the route again.
