MotionPro

Motivation

I love Surfing. I usually go surfing alone, so I can't take pictures of my surfing by myself. The famous camera for sports, GoPro, it may not suitable to shoot video from shore, because it can only shoot a fixed region. When a guy surf, he'll move around to find waves. So we want to make a device to dynamically capture the moving of surfers.
