Don't say you're sick of drone footage. Not yet. Not before watching this clip shot during the last Padang Padang swell. The lines wrapping from Ulus, the tight takeoff, the line of waiting surfers, no other angle allows you to see all this in one sweeping pan.

Is surfing just another sport? Have we been deluding ourselves?

who is sick of drone footage? not me i love it , and allways wanted to see padang from a drone that was awesome
Ahhh, I hear the odd grumble about the sudden saturation of drone footage, but me, I'm into it. Anyone remember the Mavs comp from last year and the heli footage they showed? Been seeing photos of that wave for 20 years but that was the first time I'd seen it in context with the wider coastline; saw how the waves came in from the north running almost parallel with the shore, focussing on the outside reef, then detonating on the reef proper. Great stuff.
Drone footage from a big day at Grajagan would be good.
jeez do you have a link for that one Stu?
Mavs? Nah, it was shown on the webcast. Maybe something floating around on YouToob if you looked.
holy moly what is the name of this tune? does anyone know?
It says under the video on Vimeo that the tune is,
Music : "White Flag Blues" by Father Sleep

I'm not sick of the drone footage at all either! I'm with you guys - new angles, very creative filming I love it! Just seeing how the reefs look from above & how the waves form over them + seeing the surfers weaving through the tubes and climbing over sections, spray out the back. Its all good!
While thinking drone footage, it's a nice time to revisit the Mentawais.
For me, the most enjoyable drone surfing little film that I've seen.
holy shit wally that is up there with the best drone footage i have seen , that is absolute surfing porn ! get me on a plane asap
What a shame the drone did not fly on 100m down the beach to finish the shoot with 200 Euro G strings sitting on Impossibles.
Agree with with islandman
That was one of the best surfing videos i have seen in a long time.
Awsome visuals and colors.
This is the reason that i love surfing.
