Would YOU Race Lightning Sailboats in a STORM?

Products needed for Body Mounted Camera:
Chest Mount: amzn.to/35Gl1HS
Bite Mount: amzn.to/2HMj6sR
GoPro Hero 9: amzn.to/2HMNS5g
(I definitely recommend the Hero 9, there is a significant improvement in audio, and the stabilization is incredible. Totally worth it. If you want to save money, get the now discounted Hero 8: amzn.to/34EKCSq )
Products needed for Boat Mounted Camera:
GoPro Max (360 Camera): amzn.to/37MvnZv
Wrist Mount (Attaches to Boom): amzn.to/34ANrDO
You'll probably want an SD card greater than 128GB for both cameras
lol trust me
SanDisk Extreme 128GB: amzn.to/34CCJwD
