    Well edited film and the quality is top dollar again. Loved the view from the other surfer following Kalani on the wave.
    When will the GoPro film crew get nominated for a serious award.??

    @MrDazp1 The cameraman on that Sunset wave is actually GoPro’s head of media, Bradford Schmidt. Not a bad day at the office.

    Awesome GoPro footage and great editing (of video, dialog and MUSIC). Worthy of a share for sure.

    how does he hold onto a mount and paddle for a wave at the same time?

    Thanks for the reply. I will keep an eye out for Bradford’s work and ideas.

    how did you get this perfect sound in the beggining of the video?

  34. Avatar

    That’s why i got a gopro ! But how did you get those awesome slow motion with this quality ? Because on the Hd Hero2, we have to take movies with WVGA-120 to get slowmotion like on the video !

  47. Avatar

    can someone please explain to me how they get it to go that slow since the highest fps is 120 and thats in crap quality. Do they use twixtor or something

  48. Avatar

    man give it to the camera man! whatta job!!

  49. Avatar

    I think its funny to the camera guys with big 20lb cameras with some fancy $300 waterproof case for it when the gopro camera guys have a camera that cost about $300 that is waterproof, wide angle, HD (720p and 1080p) and only weighs couple of ounces and you can strap it to there boards. lol

  50. Avatar

    @bozzaza99 yea they use twixtor in after effects probably. theres plenty of was to get both for free. PS: they were prolly recording in r2 or r4 both 30fps modes

  51. Avatar

    did you use a rc plane for the air shots? if so what kind?

  52. Avatar

    or should i say for all of the air shots

  53. Avatar

    Guys check out the GoPro time lapse’s on my channel please i think there rlly cool

  54. Avatar

    @HONDASBEST yeah thats what i thought, but if their using the gopro 2 which is what i have they would be using the 720p 60fps setting

    ps check out my channel, i have a few cool gopro vids

    I love my GoPro cameras, but I can’t help but notice that *most* of the video on this channel is more the result of trick video edits rather than good quality raw video, with no mention of how the video was processed. I think it borders on misleading to represent video as what can be done with a GoPro, when there is clearly a lot of credit due to the talent of the editor of the video.

    nice yellow board!

  73. Avatar

    Message to uploader or pro-GoPro’er, was just wondering, what setting’s are best for this kind of amazing footage, and i always seem to get a slightly fogged up lens even with the anti-fog inserts, and there seem to be drops of waters that stick to the outside of the lens. This footage is soooo clear!

  78. Avatar

    does anyone know how many feet and inches is his board?

  79. Avatar

    Anyone know how they do the slow-motion? Because it doesn’t shoot in 60 fps right?

  80. Avatar

    it does shoot in 720p @ 60fps, but a lot of GoPro’s videos use twixor or something to slow it down even more

  81. Avatar

    I may have a GoPro but damn, I wish I had the live that goes with it… one day ๐Ÿ™‚

    the footy at 1:15 is already twixtored so it’s not being live streamed. they edited it and filmed their monitor showing the twixtor shot of him

    DID HE WIN????

  94. Avatar

    Advanced editing. My best guess it that they separated the foreground and background into different layers, and then sped up the background.
