@@gi4nn354 Happy you’ve enjoyed it! I’d imagine you’d always be trying to get the most out of any swell in Italy! Mate anything longer than 2 hours becomes an absolute hustle with a thick wetsuit. 4/3s actually seem so light once you’ve worn thicker 😂 How cold does the water get over there?

@@MaxSurf5 Hey mate thanks for the support, means a lot! Yew that’s so sick! The Action 3 is a pretty solid camera. You won’t be disappointed by the reliability of this thing. A word of advice : attach the leash directly onto the protective frame. You don’t want it attached to the mouth mount. This way, if the magnetic mount loosens for any reason, you’ll be safe 🤙

@@maximebesson yeah thanks man, the magnetic mounting looks cool but i dont completely trust it, so I will definitely take your advice.

@@LuiMue Thankful to have you as a subscriber mate! 🤙

Sometimes our performance fluctuates, and that’s fine, happens in every sport. In surfing, conditions fluctuate too, and that’s challenging!

@@JN-zs7nd Cheers! I’m using a standard GoPro mouth mount. Just always trying to have the camera in my hand when talking, otherwise yes, it’s pretty hard to understand 😅

@@francus7227 Longboards definitely rule the small waves game! Though it’s pretty inspiring to me how far some surfers can take their short boards in tiny mush. I don’t own any other board so I’m kind of forced to make it work in all types of conditions. It’s always fun and it’s good training 🤙

@maximebesson I grew up in Jacksonville. I lived on the North Shore for five years. You don't golf with one club. Sure.... You "can" surf a short board in small waves. And clearly, you do it pretty well. That doesn't make it your best choice. It makes you surfing your best, based on your choice to ride a board that's not designed for the waves it'sbeing ridden on.. You should have at least 4 boards. 1) An aggressive short board for good waves. 2) A 7'-ish pig for waist high-ish waves. 3) A 9'4" for mush under knee high. 4) An 8'6" gun for days over 10' faces..... Not because it's better than a 6'6" board in overhead surf. But, because it's the only board to ride in LARGE surf. .... i.e. island 10' (30' faces and heaving). If you don't learn to handle an 8'6" gun at home, you'll be way behind the learning curve when to finally see double hold down size waves for the first time. A gun is a COMPLETELY different game. If you ride a longboat in small surf AND a gun in "larger," it will better prepare you for big waves.... like mainland Mexico, Puerto Rico, the North Shore, etc.... Good luck.

@maximebesson P.S. If you go to a gun fight with a knife.... You will be part of the lip. You aren't going to ride Sunset on a 6'6" board. PERIOD. You have to have a gun in big waves.

@ Greatly appreciate the insight! Looks like those 4 boards would indeed cover all types of conditions. A longer, more fun shaped board is definitely on my bucket list for small and/or very mushy waves. Anything over 8’, quite honestly, I want no part of 😂 Maybe 10’ if it’s a mushy, very predictable point break or something. I will happily admire from the beach if it is any bigger than that. But even then, I agree that I’d need a longer board. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤙

@@yahwea Fully agree! One board quivers are just inconvenient sometimes 😅 Thanks for subscribing! Hoping this winter will be epic for you over there 🤙

@@thejarrettsjourney Glad you’ve enjoyed this more relatable content! You’re right and I’ve actually seen some great footage of lake waves. It can get really good! In France, none of our lakes are nearly big enough to have any waves at all, so that’s where I was coming from 😅 Happy you’ve scored recently mate, hope this winter will bring good surf to you 🤙

@maximebesson absolutely, we are blessed with some big lakes. I knew what you meant 😉. ✌️

@@middleagedshredAnd you’d probably be way better off on those boards! At least the only board I have does have enough volume to float me in those tiny waves 😅 Thanks for watching man! 🤙

I love my 7'6 in sloppy beach break

@@dhajdu92 Thanks man! Really appreciate it! Yeah that’s what most of us surf most of the time, got to keep it real 🤙

@@SokoSurfCo Thanks a lot man! Means a lot, especially on a video like this where it’s hard to see the progress 🤙

@ surfing perfect waves is much harder than surfing shitty waves in my opinion (also watched the previous video before this one :))

@ Much harder or much easier? Cause I think perfect waves are much easier 😂

@@maximebesson yeah I meant the other way 😂 Shitty waves are much harder

@@MiddleagedGrom Hey dude so happy to hear you’re liking the content! Stoked you picked up surfing mate. It’s pretty cool the memories those tiny cameras allow us to create. I’ve never heard of that Island and I’ll make sure to check out your content 🤙

@@matheusbe5040 Hey man, happy you enjoyed it! Aha that’s funny, neither would I’ve thought Besson was also a last name in Brazil. Yes it’s actually quite a common one over here in France! I think it’s derived from the Latin word for twins. Do you have European roots maybe?

@@captainianr Stoked that you got some nice barrels mate! 🤙 This day was epic all along the coast. Whereabouts are you from?

@ from wales, live in Hampshire, but we spend a couple of months in Hoss every September/October/November. We just got home. I miss it… where are you based?

@@captainianr Quite the change in scenery! Are there any surf spots near Hampshire? I’m based in Lacanau most of the year. We ain’t got those freight train barrels you can see in Les Landes but it’s much quieter here aha

@@menzies1 near Lacanau, in France 🤙

@@maximebesson so sick bro, im a brit living in france. Im in the mountains for the winter but going to make my way to the surf after and just picked up surfing, so Im looking for the good spots

@@menzies1 That’s dope man! Where abouts are you spending the winter? Well I’m super biased but I’d definitely recommend Lacanau during the summer months. Liveliest ocean village you’ll find up north from Arcachon. A lot easier to find uncrowded waves in La Gironde than in Les Landes or in The Basque Country 🤙

@@maximebesson Thanks man thats awsome, see you there some time :D Im in the Les Aravis mountains

@@slappycrooks Hey man! I’m using a DJI Action 4 and am recording in 2.7K 60FPS, in wide view and a 4:3 format 🤙

@ and you just upload the 4:3 to TH-cam ? Because i always have those black blocks at the side

@@slappycrooks Oh I then stretch the clips into a 16:9 format when I’m editing in Davinci Resolve! Pretty easy to do. You can also record in superview FOV on GoPro or Ultra Wide on DJI. Those are essentially 4:3 formats stretched into a 16:9 frame by the camera itself 🤙

Wow thank you so much for your comment… really means the world to me! I’m super happy you’re mentioning this, because I was feeling a bit down lately with the waves not being super hollow. I’ve gone back to focusing on my rail game as to not drive myself crazy over that 1st tube. I’m actually seeing a lot of progress there, so I’m super stoked 🤙

@ Wow lucky you! I’ve tried a couple mouth mounts and I’ve found the GoPro one to be the best option for me. Then you definitely want some redundancy in case that fails or gets out of your mouth during a wipeout. Hope you’ll have a blast in Bali and will record some nice clips! 🤙
