WsurfAustin said..Epic carve fest !. Thanks !.How far is the camera from the riders ?. Great quality video.

Cheers all

Was superfun that day on the water and filming.
Mushy waves are so epic on foil, astonished that every wavesailer is not yet into it.
It's impossible to capture with video the level of buzz you feel flying down wave faces and carving turns - or the true speed because there's no wake/spray from the foils.
They're riding 10-50m from the end of a rock groyne that extends about 40m into the sea.
Both have the skills needed to confidently foil through the turbulence near the rocks, to get close to the camera

I mostly limit the video to 5x magnification for decent resolution (7 max).
Image stabilization in the iPhone is great, also helps if you can hold the camera still which is a little tricky in the wind and spray.
Constantly wipe the lens.
We're a niche of a niche so I'd be stoked to see more vids - don't need fancy cameras.
