How are you securing your Woo on your board, if it comes off the mount.
I already lost a go pro in the ocean.
Did anybody construct a nice leash version?
Thanks

Yes

Basically it is a hook knife enclosure found on some harnesses. I’ve placed an SS ring to secure it around my footstrap Velcro and just tuck in Woo inside this enclosure below the same Velcro.

Easy and fast. Reusable on all boards and protects the device.

Hi,

I am somehow loosing my patience with woo. They seem to have some serious problems where your account records are being manipulated with!
Like last Sunday, knowing about the issue I took a screenshot of my jump records straight after the session. The following day the jump records were tempered with (see the attached screenshots).

I've reached out to woo but nobody is answering my support requests.

This is just to warn you guys. Keep checking your list of jumps after session as you might be manipulated with like it happened to me!

I would not trust Woo at all. There is a device which stores GPS track - GPS timestamps with jumps. At least you have better change to verify that thing has been jump by looking track for flying trajectory and syncing that to *video*. Also you cannot "forge" the jump results to different beach and different time from reporting site.

I think this is an interesting question, I will try asking Woo also.
Ps maybe not everybody seen it (seen the 2 reactions), but some how a jump (no 2 of 14.7) is added.

Your first post? ;) Do you work for Xensr?

C'mon, a little device has a FUN factor, it is not a scientific instrument...For 6mnts the guy is listed as 16.6m jump on my local (explore Swan River/Pelican Point).

Physically impossible to jump that high on the S. river...Hence I'll never top this. Got over it.

@ gregd72002
Your second jump of 14,7m is probably a failure. 0.5G is almost not possible.
There are many guys on top of the Woo leaderboard with jumps they could never make. They all have in common <1G on that particular jump
I assume, Woo have now a filter that remove these jumps.
I think that this is a great step from Woo to remove these jumps

these jumps are removed.......they are anomalies......usually high hang time and very low g force
in this case low hang time with g force.......they go over all big jumps to make sure they are not anomalies, which is very commendable, which keeps the lederboard as fair as possible.

for anyone that thinks any of the other gadgets are perfect, think again......i have woo xensr and piq, woo is the only one that provides immense leaderboards and stats, and a nice social commenting and way to store your sessions with pictures etc.

so for me woo still most fun unit.......and with our group having done over 125000 jumps with it, day in and day out it works, sure here and there, there is an anomaly which woo tries to catch, awesome!!
