RE: mild brushless setup questions
Your welcome Alex.
Yeah, Spencer has the RC Dude totally dialed. That's the guy controlling the rc surfer in the movie as well as most of the footage in that teaser clip.
Most of the surfers get along with rc really well. Even some of the pro surfers like Adam Replogle and Jason 'Ratboy' Collins have given him the green light to take waves. Both those surfer are in the movie btw. It comes down to showing respect and staying out of the way. The cool thing with rc is you can sit off to the side of the main peak and jam in if no one else is going for it. It's easy to loose sight of the dude when a set comes in so it's very important to always be aware of where rc is in relation to the real surfers. Once you get some experience and learn the particular spot your surfing you shouldn't have too many problems. Without a doubt it's safer to start at a beach with no surfers or swimmers if you can. Occasionally you get a guy that feels threatened by rc, but hey those guys are few and far between. Most surfers get a kick out of seeing him in the water and like you mentioned in another post one minute there is no one on the beach and the next your too busy fielding questions to actually catch any waves.
Having the extra cell really makes a big difference when your trying to surf real waves. You have the power when you need it to get out of the way, shoot around a section or get some huge air. Check out the sealing set up I mentioned in the other post and you should be good to go next time you venture out in the ocean.
Your definitely on the right track Alex. Good luck with everything.
