GoPro is an action camera company that was founded by Nick Woodman way back in 2002. He started the action camera company after a 2002 surf trip to Australia wherein he was hoping to capture quality action photos of him while surfing. Apparently, it is for the amateur photographers could not get close enough to a surfer, or obtain quality equipment at reasonable prices. His desire for a camera system that could capture the professional angles inspired the 'GoPro' name.
