what lens do i need to film surfing?

[flatlander]

Hey guys i wanted to find out what type of zoom lens i would need to film surfing ?i have a hvx200

Sorry, please clarify. The HVX has no removal lens. Are you using a 35mm adapter. Or looking for some kind of wide angle or telephoto lens adapter like the Century Optics.

you probably want that century 2x lens for the hvx if you're filming for the beach.

the telephoto from century...i always wish i had one, and will someday when the right project makes the purchase for me. I shoot a lot of windsurfing and surfing for fun mostly, the century would allow you to get a lot closer than the stock lens.

why not consider one of these for a close up,,,

maybe an option rather than just a shot from the beach.

Mainly Quality, but I have a friend that strapped this to his kite board for some cool footage. But again, the quality is incomparable, not to mention the control you have with your hands actually on the camera.

I think he used this one:
