 Waterproof Pentax W10 at Kelly Slater surfing event : Nothing screams "take me with you" quite like the line of Pentax Optio waterproof digital cameras. So, that is exactly what world-class surf champion Kelly Slater and his friends did when they convened recently for the second annual Kelly Slater Invitational surfing event on the beautiful coast of Kona, Hawaii, in February 2006. Equipped with Pentax waterproof Optio W10 cameras, the official camera of the event, professional photographers and celebrities alike snapped images of the activities. With the capability to capture images up to five feet underwater for up to 30 minutes, the Pentax W10 is the perfect camera for use in and around water.
