My son’s birthday is coming up and I wanted to make sure that I will be able to give him a good celebration. Hence, knowing his passion for sports, like me, I decided to treat him to a cool weekend getaway by the beach. This way, I would not have to worry too much about organizing a party or what not. I will be able to hit two birds in one stone by treating him to a great trip and saving myself from a lot of stress.

However, it wasn’t until we arrived that I was the one who was surprised. He handed a box of one of the most beautiful Cabrinha kites I have ever seen. The note said, “For the person who gave me my life, I thank you Mom.” I was so touched that it brought tears to my eyes. I can never thank my son enough for being wonderful. I guess, it would be safe to say that the celebration served two purposes for us.

For many people, a waterproof camera simply means a regular camera that has features to prevent water from ruining the device. It actually has a different technology wherein it is designed in such as way that images can be captured with almost the same, if the not the same, resolution even if the camera is submerged four to five feet. It also allows you to view a collection of pictures while allowing access to any of the images at any point in time. A waterproof camera is usually equipped with a traditional lens or a film that would allow more options. The most common type of lens being used would be the wide-angle lenses to capture images underwater. To avoid any types of distortions when using a wide-angle lens, it is recommend to use a dome-shaped or fish eye port that can be purchased at any photo shop. External flash units can also be attached since majority of the subjects being photographed are found in places where there is less light.

I was talking to my friend Peter’s mom the other day when I walked into their small candy store that was not far from where we all lived. Since I have not seen my friend for quite a while, I had to ask his mom how he was doing. She said that Peter has been very distracted lately which was why he was not showing up so often. It turns out he was finally about to score some landyachtz longboards and this was why we were not seeing him so often.

He was always at the park these days checking out some of his new boards and testing them. From the looks of it, he will be busy for a while since he got like a dozen boards from a store that was closing in downtown. For the rest of us who do not ride longboards, we will have to do our own thing until Peter decides to join us again.
