This was so well done and such a great contrast to all the wave pool surfing content popping up all over youtube. Such a perfect example of what wave pools will never be able to deliver. Surfing, at its heart, is about connecting to the ocean and all that entails.
South Africa is indeed the blessed land. During the Sardine run... so abundant is the bounty, that starvation is non existant and taboo as enough is provided till next year. The cinematography here is exceptional ... but to see it unfold before your very eyes... is an experience of a lifetime...
Brilliant photography, editing and music selection! Not your average surf vid - super interesting and informative too. What a great advert for SA's east coast, so damn beautiful. I smiled for the full 37 mins, great job guys.
One of the greatest short films ever made, hands down, if not the best. Very, very well done. Just got to the credits and have to say if I was a producer and wanted a good movie made, I'd probably hit up Will and Alan. Hollywood sucks, you guys are amazing.
How good! Surf safari meets national geographic. What a beautiful place. Frankie sounds like a character. I bet he tells a good campfire story. Surfers ripping. Thanks so much. Kia Ora from New Zealand. Yeow!!!!!! 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽
Ah lads, spent 6 months chasing waves in SA back in '98 and this takes me right back to it. Such a beautiful country and great welcoming surf community. I don't miss the shark signs on the beach during the sardine run though :-) we had some close encounters of the grey suit kind.
I have been in the water in Refugio State Beach with fish that were about 6-7” inches long all swimming south. Literally thousand of them. I would free dive down over them and the deep I would go they would avoid me by going deeper. Water was cold. Supper fun waves in this video!
Having lived in Umhlanga Rocks, South Africa for 2 years in the mid 90's I would say yes, plus you have the Drakensberg Mountains fairly close by for skydiving, hiking, camping; J-Bay, Transki, Cave Rock, New Pier...so much surf there and tons of friendly hot women! ~ 🤙🤙

Wave pools require huge amounts of electricity! That really just ruins it for me.
@@Loki-rascal Just let them have their pools. Let us have the ocean. :D
Thanks for your support Brian! Stoked you enjoyed it!

Now living north of the Swiss Alps for nearly a quarter of a century, this video brings back powerful memories and a XL portion of homesickness

Frankie should have been the narrator. It doesn't get more authentic than him!
💯🤙🏼😎
@@AllanKleynhansSpeaks so who is the narrator? AI? I can't find anyone listed on the credits.

Epic
