Brother you have that drone flying down to a fine art💯
Unreal video🤙🏼

[@skymonkey5]

Thanks mate, I've a lot of practice and love shooting this sport 😁👍

[@Surfdronesd]

He's right. You have it dialed in 100%. It's a lot more complicated than people think.

[@Waltz84World]

@@Surfdronesd I’m only a few months in flying the drone and Its definitely a skill to be able to fly like that, very inspirational🤙🏼

[@Surfdronesd]

@Waltz84World you'll get there, and have a lot of fun.

[@skymonkey5]

@@Waltz84World thanks bud. It took around two years for me to get comfortable, to understand the positioning and different angles to fly at. Take your time, you'll find your groove.

10/10 surfing video. Awesome footage and even better, NO BS MUSIC! Just the pure sound of the waves

[@michaelthomas366]

Excellent photography and no distracting bad music--just the sweet sound of the waves.

Appreciate that mate - thanks - love shooting this content 🙌

[@fiddlestickzmuzik]

Drone footage, speed and sound on point yeeeeeew !!!! that was very enjoyable to watch. Some of those barrels were sick as fk too.

[@skymonkey5]

Glad you enjoyed it mate, such a privilege to film that break.

Hawaii boy, love watching Deadmans!

Gutsy waves with gutsy surfers. And great camera work to capture an awesome session. !

[@skymonkey5]

Thanks a lot!

[@willchris3894]

Great perspective of our land down under 👍

[@skymonkey5]

What a beautiful country as well 💙

[@cy-villian]

This spot is something to behold when it's on. I've spent hours watching footage of it, mostly from the cliffs directly in front and there's also an angle from what looks to be across the bay but I can't tell, I'm a Saffa. All this to say that I think this is the first drone footage I've seen of it and it's filmed by an NEXT LEVEL PILOT !!!! Thanks Brother.

[@skymonkey5]

Thank you very much

[@alhassant9204]

All surf videos should be filmed like this

[@skymonkey5]

Thanks for that 😎👍

[@waylingtons]

Man that waves a mutant! Different every time.

[@markeggins890]

Great footage, and love just the sound of the sea, good to see a few got waves almost all the way in, maybe on the wipeouts it would be interesting to see how long the holddowns can be?

[@skymonkey5]

Thats a good idea. I see now how it would be better to watch where the surfer pops up. I think i normally cut off the last bit as i am turning around to see if someone is on the wave behind, Will bare that in mind when shooting big waves next.

[@markeggins890]

@@skymonkey5 All good mate, just might be worth doing occasionally on really heavy wipeouts, sometimes it is amazing where they pop up! Great channel.

Mad footage and piloting skills,,,,, hats off to the chargers and big tubes yeeeew 🤙🏄‍♂️🇦🇺

[@jameslangridge1674]

As amazing as this is, (@skymonkey5 And it truly is, piloting, filming, the surfing, no music, all EPIC!!!), but anyone else want the camera to stay on any of the guys that fall just a bit longer, to see the aftermath and what happens when you go down in a bad spot? It's the part I most enjoy when watching "raw" vids and what I hate about edited vids. (Morbid fascination, I know). It feels like all video editors always cut out the best bit. And I know the focus is always on the waves and the makes, but the wipeouts are as important, and are what any surfer has to contemplate when paddling out in this size and type of wave (slab, heavy reef break etc). Y'know, just that little thought to yourself as you are about to rock jump or enter the paddle/entry point and you think, ok, that dude went down in a bad spot, let's see what happens. I always weigh up a bad wipeout with a comparison of my previous worst one and then, only if I feel comfy I could take the beat down, do I enter (I'm usually thinking to myself, I've surfed heavier/bigger/gnarlier waves before as the set arrives---even if untrue---to prep my mind for the session). Anyone else feel the same? Thanks for attending my TED talk.

[@skymonkey5]

It's because I normally shoot just for instagram and have only started making longer videos for YT. When shooting for IG it's one wave shots. So when a set comes in, I film the first wave then and straight to the wave after and repeat. So if a wipeout happens, I get the actual wipeout, but do not wait for the surfer to resurface as I'm filming the next wave. It's something I will just have to adapt to now that I am moving into longer form videos and concentrating on youtube content. I have some awesome content, including beautiful b-roll shot 2wks ago at desert point lombok. This video I will make in a couple of weeks and upload, not too many wipeouts but it'll be my best youtube video so far 👍

[@jameslangridge1674]

@@skymonkey5 Thanks for the response and detail. Your work is amazing! You def have the knack for spotting the right angles to get the shot. I look forward to more of your work. Enjoy Lombok. Making me nostalgic for my Indo trips. Busy typing this as I watch the cam at Kalk Bay, South Africa, praying for a break in the onshore so I can go surf.

[@ErloBrown1]

Where's the video of you flying the drone? Amazing video all round. Thanks for sharing!

[@skymonkey5]

Thanks bud 👍 and no video of me flying, I've never been on camera 😁

[@markneedham8437]

:020 This video delivers

[@skymonkey5]

😂

[@Mike-zb7ts]

Raw footage all the way. Edits with music are for kids. Like ending every wave with an "air" that goes nowhere. Pointless and painful to watch.
This is the best surf foorage I've watched in I can't remember how long. Pure gold.

[@skymonkey5]

Thank you very much 👍 I will be working on a desert point video very soon. This will be my best so far... and still raw with no music or slow-mo
