Why life in New Zealand sometimes sucks

I would like to mount a small digital camera on my kite so I can shoot a video with me kitesurfing. Done quite a bit of research and came up with an idea to use the following:

  • Sony Cybershot DCS-T10 7.2MP Digital Camera. It can capture 640×480 movie at 30fps, sounds good enough.
