Another great vid DJ-one of my favourites I think! Those waves look soooo nice with such long rides!
One thing that impresses me is your effort to film others around you sharing such a beatiful spot. I'm sure thay really appreciate it (I know that I would!!) and must love seeing themselves catching waves, sharing the stoke and wiping out!!

Great stuff.  Showcases the power of the GoPro, specifically the paddle cam view, to bring the viewer along the experience.

Fantastic editing, music and I like how you are calling people into waves.  The more you film the more you want to start including others and there is nothing like getting close, and you have to be really close with the GoPro, like bumping boards close to get them in the action.

Awesome!!!!   8)

+1 on Beasho's comments. You are the master! This really highlights how fun SUP is, especially with friends.

PERF!!! Looks like one of the better days at your Go To. Nice the way you synced that first drop w/the emotion of the music. I always find that a challenge. Curious if your shooting in ProTune mode. I find it more work but seems worth the effort. Beautiful music...Artist?

 "I don't know what Pro Tune is" It's a mode on the GoPro Black(maybe Silver too) that enables the cam to shoot in "Raw" files. The untouched images/videos are washed out w/out much, color, contrast, ect so they need to be edited in whatever software you are using. The files are larger and it's a lot of work, but the enhancement is amazing. TONS of YouTube vids on how to work w/it.
thanx for the heads up on Ian Brown. I love 80's/90's British (and American) rock! Created an Ian Brown Pandora station w/the addition of The Fixx.

Where was this?

Near Point Leo.. Melbourne, Australia..

Many of the paddlers that day were very much newbies and their first ever session on wave boards.. and even at surfing..

There are plenty of better wave locations nearby where the better sup surfers go..

This spot is very casual and a perfect place for learners..
