It's becoming a yearly occurence: Chris Bryan gathers his best footage from the year, all shot on a Phantom 4K at ultra high speed and then slowed down for your viewing pleasure. The effect is utterly beguiling. Enjoy...

Wanna see Chris Bryan's previous instalment?

Mesmerizing footage.

That last wave of Dan Ryan is looney !

Mesmerizing stuff.. truly! During each super slo-mo turn I found myself gazing doe-eyed into the screen watching water droplets fan out across the sky.

Awesome work Chris.

Isn't it Nav!

And the commitment to that JJ air with him landing straight on top of him is insane!

Superbly done. Slow mo is trance like. Plus get creative on the sound effects and you got some top notch stuff.

yep awesome stuff to the extent that i could almost feel the wave face on a couple of Tajs waves,fingers brushing the inside of the tube.....love to see that on IMAX.
Well done Chris.

Now the trick is to include it in a story or search or a characterisation ... Quality stuff

What's happening from 2.15? The wave in the background looks completely still, like the lip stopped pitching. Is it just because what we watched probably took a 10th of a second???

Incredible quality...gotta wonder if the guy at the end survived...I'm sure there's a story there!

I usually dislike slo mo but that was incredible

Surfing appears easy until you slow it down like that. The subtleties are wild. Hows that last beating nightmare!

A Fin study. Hafta watch it again but Taj seems to slide and catch at a super deep trim point. Also Kolohe two fins free and holding. And obviously Dan Ryan had issues with fins.
