Let's never complain about drone footage again.

...save your beef for surf clip soundtracks. Stringed orchestra? Ugh...

Ennio Moricone would have loved that.

Great perspective all the same.

"Stringed orchestra? Ugh.."

Philistine! :-)

The drones are taking over. I'm OK with that.

It won't be long before one of those boats that flirt with danger and hover round the impact zone will get sucked over the falls backwards - now drone footage of that would be something else.

What ever angle you look at it it's incredible.

Looks like a broken sup where the guys swimming at the very start ?

I bet some of those lovely houses onshore in proximity have been brought up by surfers now...?

Why are there 9 boats and 11 jet skis when 5 people are surfing in the take off zone....?

Full of photogs...!

Money.

I bet Vatea David would be kicking himself now.

Sorry, but I'm sure Morricone would be disgusted.

It sounds like any cheap stock music from some site that licenses soundtracks for budget TV production. Produced by bedroom amateurs and a synth pack.

Orchestras - or even computer-generated replicants of them - are a powerful weapon and, like the Force, can be used for good or evil. This composer is the symphonic equivalent of Darth Vader.

Ennio Morricone, on the other hand - Yoda.

That footage is nuts. 4 minutes and no slow mo thank you

it's such a small playing field considering the size of the reef

The only drones that people don't like are the ones that are drop bombs...
