@@jochaldo8076 it actually does have everything to do with his comment. The helicopter, when it shows up, has a front mounted camera on a gimbal. From the looks of it probably a Shotover brand setup, but their is a number of competitors our there. I'd wager that cameras/gimbal setup (not including the helicopter) is worth in the range of $250k and is there for exclusive purpose of filming professional surfers. That said, the original comment kinda misses the point in making the comparison between a GoPro & a rig like that. Those two separate kinds of shots are tools with different functional goals intended for different purposes. Of course a helicopter shot from a distance isn't supposed to make things feel personal. It's aimed to give a sense of scale & perspective. That's a whole separate tangent though. In any case, the helicopter comment is relevant. The helicopter is there to film.

The truth is sharks rarely attack humans. Along the Californian coast thousands of sharks live. They learned Asia means death. So they avoid Asia and stay close to America. Lots of drone footage shows pods of 9 sharks swimming right past humans and stingrays ignoring them. Sharks aren't mindless eating monsters. You are actually in more danger near a dolphin, which are awful. Sharks can literally be friends with any kind of shark, hammerhead, bullshark, tiger sharks and my favorite animals the great whites. They hang out in large groups it's a survival method. In the ocean if a shark senses a bigger shark they will go to it. Unlike many animals in the world a shark would not harm another shark coming towards it, even if it is a different type of shark. This is crazy because most other predators will kill on sight. All wild cat species kill the young and even the adults. Tigers and lions will fight if they meet and cheetahs are near extinct because humans pushed them out of their safe habitats and into lion, leopard and other territory. Sharks don't do this. Sharks are so kind to each other. There is video of sharks swimming up to sharks that had their fins cut off for Asia shark fin soaps and they are seen trying to help the drowning sharks. Even with the vast deaths humans caused to sharks we can actually be in the water with them and many would leave us allow. I've actually pet sharks before and despite movies like jaws they are very sweet. Most all shark Attacks are a case of mistaken identity. This is why shark attack victims often have one bite would and wouldn't completely eaten. However, marine biologist believe that sharks have realized the way humans look in the water and avoid. Not only are we really boney but many sharks that have biten a human resulted in massive hunts with lots of sharks dying from one mistake. Experts have seen sharks get freaked out upon spotting a human and driving deeper and going far away.

You’re in the aquatic life’s elements and understand the risks involved. Whether or not you encounter sharks, you understand/accept the risks and any associated consequences. Stay safe out there and catch a swell for those of us who’re admiring your skills from the shores for whatever reason.

When I was 14 the exact same thing happened except I used that method when you push your board over the wave so that you can just legit float over the wave as it passes.... But I had a long board and was out at backline... This technique always worked but one day I tried to push my board over to early and instead of going over the wave it went in the wave and the wave just carried me and my board away like I was nothing, I was fighting for air and to come up but I was being dragged by my leg that was attached to my leash, after a while I came up and before I could take a breath another huge wave hit me and took me and my board, I started swallowing water and everything was going red and black and these white dots.... I somehow faught my way to the top and got a few breaths of air before being taken under again by another huge wave... For the moment time felt infinite and I somehow accepted I'm going to drown and I won't get to see my dad or brothers again and it felt so peaceful... Call me insane but it felt good (I read this may be caused by a substance your body releases called DMT when it thinks it's dying, and DMT makes you feel good and helps you forget you are dying) .... Luckily I was close to a sand bank so I washed up on it and another surfer going out saw me, he rushed to me and put me on my board and layed on top of me and rode the waves back to shore on my board whilst managing his board... I got to shore and he asked me if I was okay... Me being to weak to speak gave him a thumbs up and that was that, I never got his name but all I can remember was that he was the strongly built black man, I layed on my stomach in a funny position and coughed the water out and just lay there on the shore for a while before getting the strength to get up and walk.... Thank you kind stranger and I'll never forget you for saving my life.

The 5 life savers were so busy they came past me 4 times and told me keep doing what your doing and I actually swam myself back to shore. I lay on beach and just thought about how weak a human really is and how I would ,100% have given up without their encouraging me.

Jaws - at least on these days you filmed - sure is big too but not prohibitively so. It's fantastic you guys can still paddle in and don't need a lot of equipment, can surf in short slacks and balmy waters under the beautiful Maui sun, every once in a while catching a ridiculous barrel... has so much more soul than Nazaré. Very beautiful and classy! Much love!!

And keep in mind that adventurous people advanced the human species by seeking out new land, establishing maritime routes that would lead to trade between different parts of the world etc. And their descendants inherited that lack of fear for dangerous activities. End of day, people can do what they want with their own lives as long as they're not harming anyone. And most surfers don't end up shark food either so that's that. I think inexperienced tourists usually end up getting attacked by sharks. Lastly, you replying to this person to say this is disrespectful. They are admiring something they want to do but can't, and expressing their gratitude for the video. Your opinion is unwanted and your reply uncalled for. Let them enjoy their dream in the only way they can, don't be so insensitive.

i was in Srilanka , having a long vacation by ocean i hear the waves even the sound of it caused many nightmares of tsunami. in my sleep..then people told me to surf that is like eating doner kebab in turkey as a tourist ..i was like are ypu insane ? i cant even swim in this sea ..once i did and wave broke at my neck and it was horrible..anyway.. then life brought people to me giving me tips how to swim then how to surf with baby waves and wipe out many times so on..after 3 months , on my last day in srilanka i surfed 2 meters high wave in hriketia .. it was unforgettable.. just one wave caused that emotion .. i am not sure if i wanna do it again but it was for me an example of a nightmare can turn into a joy ..you can master your fears ..and now i watch surfers , amazing !

Awesome curl action at 3:00. Onlookers: It is CRITICAL to maintain situational awareness of the depth of the water and the underwater terrain, because the higher up you are on a wave, the deeper it can drive you under if (for example) you fall off the curl - and if the depth is too shallow for the height you're falling from, you will get spiked into the bottom, and then dragged along it (like being in a washing machine on steroids). If that ever happens to you, pray it is soft sand and not hard rocks and/or sharp coral, or you will be in a world of hurt.

Amazing video, so fearless. I’ve been held down by waves well smaller than that, and I’ll never go in the ocean again. I was only 11 years old, didn’t have a life vest, no supervision, and there was a hurricane 1.5 days off the coast, so a bit different. Sucked out by a massive rip tide into 10-foot breakers. I had no idea it was unsafe, just a kid boogie boarding in North Carolina on vacation. Waves are usually so small, I got up at the buttcrack of dawn before all the adults and ran out to the beach by myself, was like “Finally some big waves to ride!” I was immediately ripped out to sea and pummeled without end, no idea which way was up. I was held down for so long I gave up and breathed in. At that moment I washed up on the beach. So yeah I don’t go in the ocean any more. This video is terrifying to me but it does me good to see someone paddle out into the mighty ocean without fear and ride on its back for a while.

I had similar experiences. I was in 7-10’ faces at 4 mile in Santa Cruz Ca. and the waves were closing out the cove on me while I was learning. My “friends” who talked me into going with them laughed on the beach while I struggled to stay alive. I only lived through it because I was smart enough not to panic and stopped fighting the waves and conserved my strength and focused on my breathing. I knew the waves couldn’t hurt me but that I surely would drown if I passed out. By the time I got to the beach I was too weak to crawl out of the water. People on the beach ran out to pull me out of the water. I was 21 and in phenomenal shape, but had no clue what I was doing and my “friends” thought it was more fun to watch me drown than to teach me to surf.

What will they think of next? One thing you can be sure of- it'll kill ya." 🤣 Get down, white people, do y'all thang- surf it, skate it, spelunk it, climb it, shoot it, ski it, jump out of it, bungee off of it, put on one of those gliding suits and fly around it- yes, white folks do that shit! I am here for it! 👍 I'll just be right back here in the cut, safe and sound, warm and dry, not being able to relate, despite bein half white myself 🤣.
