NOTE: YouTube blocked the first video I uploaded because of music copyright. I used "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits. This one plays great with my own original recordings! Lesson Learned. This video is best viewed in HD.

Thursday, Aug., 25, 2011: Florida's Space Coast missed the full impact of Hurricane Irene but sail boarders took full advantage of the big waves and wind. All of the local TV News crews were at the Cocoa Beach Pier shooting film for the evening news and so was I. Equipment: Panasonic HDC-TM90, Nikon D90. Music: Shakin' Like Hell (c) by John Mayer AKA Surfside Johnny.

Life is just better in Cocoa Beach, Florida!

GREAT video, John!  You can feel the local energy emanating from it.

I love Dire Straits. . .I have a couple of their CDs in my car stereo.  My favorite tunes, "The Bug" and "It All Depends on You."

Rich - We were worried for a while but we got lucky. I feel terrible about the destruction up north.

Sherri - Everyone wanted to see the waves and for the most part they're pretty vigilent.

Rich - I was raised in Canada and didn't have to deal with these things. I don't think even long time Floridians can call themselves pros when it comes to dealing with Mother Nature :-)

Hi Myrl - Beach people are all a "little bit" crazy :-) The Dire Straits tune seemed to fit the mood but I was shut down. I think Surfside Johnny is better anyway :-)

Ted - It's in the 90's every day and the humidity adds another 10 dgrees. You get used to it and work around it. I don't go for my bike ride until 6 or 7pm.

Surfside Johnny, GREAT JOB with this video! You captured the moments perfectly.  Maybe next time I am at the Sandbar we'll run into each other.  Keep up the great work!

John, thanks for sharing your experience when using the 'wrong' music.  Hope you were able to follow Debb Jannis series on adding music to video. 

Great job getting the right music to a great video.

Pamela - I'll have to check out Debb's blog. Sony Vegas gives you cheesy tunes to add so I'm on the hunt for good royalty free music.
