Filmed on the day of the aborted Eddie, this clip includes footage from a drone flying about as close to a wave as is possible. Says the cameraman: "These are some of the gnarliest drone shots I have gotten of surfing. Many near crashes with waves and definitely lots of spray on the drone after every flight."
Watch Mark Healey pull in on the very first wave and also scratch into a couple of lefts.

Top footage. Gives a better perspective of surfing large waves than previous Drone footage.
Usually hate drone footage.... But that was good..... Music created a good vibe too..
by my calculations, 6 people per wave, 5 waves per set, crowd 50ish, you can bank on a wave every second set. gold.
great stuff … the winds were kind to the drone man.
Waimea. It's kinda the new Makaha!
Very astute, Gra! Wish I'd thought of that.
The best clip in the story of surfing
