Your footage looks better at 30fps like this compared to the newer 24fps stuff. It's more appropriate for the type of content. 24 is for narrative storytelling experiences that require imagination and suspension of disbelief via forcing your eyes and brain to parse the missing motion information due to the frame rate being so much lower than how smooth real life looks. 30fps is balanced between that and real life, and high frame rates like 50 and 60 look like real life.
If you want to add a little more pizazz to 30fps, you can break the 180-degree shutter rule and set 1/50th (this one should also prevent electronic dashboards from flickering) of a second or even 1/40th of a second shutter speed and it'll look even better. Just be sure that if you use auto-exposure, you have "shutter priority mode" activated so that auto-exposure doesn't adjust shutter speed, which will change your level of motion blur and make your footage look unnatural.
You may have to buy an ND filter if you do that last part, though, as your camera may no longer be able to adjust darkly enough for super bright outdoor footage. But there are affordable options that are high quality, so it won't be too bad; just do a little research. If you only buy one, I recommend an ND16 as it'll handle all but the worst and won't be too rough if it's shady/overcast or whatever. If you buy two, get an ND8 and ND32, at which point you can use the ND8 indoors and get some other benefits from using the camera adjusting to slightly higher ISO than bottomed out.
Otherwise, buy a 3-piece set that has an 8, 16, AND 32 and swap them as needed. Variable ND filters are a thing, but are more expensive and have a lower quality and quality control compared to static filters, especially compared to their price. Another thing that might help, particularly on the water, is a polarizing filter. This will cut down on the surface glare the water and other reflective surfaces like glass give and let you see through them clearly. And yes, they DO make polarized ND filters, so you CAN get them "all in one" if you want.

Man, I can't believe I didn't recognize what channel I was on... Your content surely improved over the years, and I just realized that you already ARE using 30 in your NEWEST videos, which I've already watched and praised you for. JFC, I really need to get out more, lol. Would it be a social faux pas if I went to lakes and tried to bum a boat day off of random people on wake boats? Because I kinda wanna try surfing but have no money, no board, no boat, and no friends.

He rests the board on concrete instead of his shoe. This man cannot be trusted

[@patriotsfan1236]

Lol true

Took too long to get to the point...
