Just found part two. Excited to watch it. I'm going outside now(in a way).
(Time elapses while I watch...)
Wowsers!
'never been a fan of the rider pov generally speaking, or too much drone when it comes to watching surfers ride waves, but when you use the three (camera) points of view together it's so beyond anything else you can watch on a screen IMO.
I could feel the heaving out there, and I can't even fathom (more like half a fathom), what it must be like to quickly dismount, jump in piledriver style to penetrate, feel the reef with your toes so you can quickly compress, lay out, grab the reef or ball up whatever the fuh they have to do to hope the thing just lets go and passes by in an instant. Whatever they gotta do I can sense their hope, trepidation whatever that is.
I feel like I went outside for a minute.

I like this clip. Even though its a smaller wave, you can see at the beginning of the wave how hard its sucking the water off of the reef.
KEAHI DE ABOITIZ on Instagram: "Standing waves in the ocean It sure is wild looking down while paddling into these and just watching the reef go backwards.

Very cool and bananas.
brought back memories of aitutaki and non-surfabke closeout waves. First few days, massive swell with a little surfable waist high shore break on the beach that squeaked through. Then next few days were flat and were able to kayak out to reef & beyond. Flat reef, no real pass, a cliff and a deep ocean full of massive sea life everywhere. Humbling and scary.

Ho dang, i'm gonna watch pt. 2 and 3 tonight on my TV. Stocked!
IMO, Nathan Florence and Dylan Graves put out the best surf content BY FAR.
His vids from Ireland are really good too. He puts himself in the GNARLIEST situations, but he has the skills, athleticism, and knowledge to stay safe. It's nuts.

Insane. Insane. There used to be a wave in Kingston, JA that had water that clear. Hurricane Ivan pushed all the reef rocks up onto the beach so it's gone now. Felt like you were surfing over air. Every wave on some days looked like something out of a Jeff Divine catalog.
