Rincon Drone Sessions

- Rincon finally came to life after weeks, maybe even months of completely unremarkable surf. The run of swell has offered plenty of rippable, (mostly) sunny, glassy lines. Conner Coffin, Dane Reynolds and a host of locals took the place apart - not a single halfway decent wave snuck through the pack.

rincon: the queen of the coast. seeing this video is like catching a fleeting glimpse of a foregone lover.
in the fall of 2000, i moved to santa barbara to study medicine and surf this spot as much as possible. i lived a mile away and surfed here every day i could for 5 years. all conditions. i was into it. i didn't care.
i surfed it glassy, junky, or offshore. waist-high corner burgers. double-overhead brown-water cove tubes. summertime south-swell lefts. head-high slot peelers on the cobblestones. and of course the rare 27 second days - the ones that broke out back of the indicator, squared off and drained across the creek mouth, connected all the way through the cove, and then left you pinned against the freeway rocks at la conchita.
most of the time, i was totally smitten with the queen of the coast. like a full on junior-high crush. always sprinting back up the point on my tip-toes. grinning devilishly. like i'd just gotten laid for the first time.
i loved surfing rincon. and truth be told, i was an honorable lover. i rarely cheated. (and when i did, it was usually just malibu - which is kinda not really cheating. different area codes and all... just minor summertime flings.)
anyway, the queen of the coast was not a faithful partner at all. she was no such thing...
she was a tempestuous and flighty catch. foggy, flat, and fly-by-night.
she could hide away for weeks at a time. even disappearing for entire summers. (ring. ring. hello, malibu?) and then when she'd return in the fall, she'd arrive with such fanfare...
celebrity slut as she was, i'd have to share her with so many others. hundreds of pros and joes, kooks, donkeys, and dinosaurs. shoulder to shoulder. all dog-piled and frothing. from the kiddie pool to the top of the point, and around the corner to the closed out beach break. just a full-on and bonafide foam and fiberglass fuctercluck. one massive heave of desperate humans - all scratching, screaming, and snaking for the chance at a set wave.
so much sharing...
i committed so many days to the queen of the coast, but i never had her to myself...
(why couldn't i just fall for tarantula's? or naples?)
sigh...
anyway, she taught me all she could about glide. and for that i'm forever grateful. we don't see each often enough, now. and all i have left is the saudade and a pterygium - a biting twinge in my left eye that accompanies the ache and longing of having loved out of my league and too far from home...
i moved back to Washington in 2005, so it's been 8 years of long distance relations - with only the occasional rendezvous' and hook ups. remarkably, once i scramble the slimy cobblestones and slip quietly into the lineup, most of the magic is still there. we always did have chemistry. and she usually comes through for my december birthday. though i don't understand why. i suppose she's just good like that.
truth be told, i've moved on now. i've rekindled and committed to her moody and secretive cousins in the NW - cold, kelpy, and unforgiving as they are.
no queens of the coast here. only roughshod and silty commoners.
but they're hearty and spirited and they punch a helluva lot harder. and at the end of the day, that's plenty for me.
cause after seeing dane reynolds and conner coffin surf in this video - i gotta accept that i'm just a commoner as well...
surfers were not the only ones ripping here guys, GREAT job shootin' n' flying n' editin' too!!!
One of the most amazing places I have ever surfed was Rincon. Brings back some good memories as I was there in 1972.
well done. i know its hard but the lower you get the better it will be. thats bout as high you like get. the barrel segment was nuts. mahalo for sharing
Wow! Great view of the waves. Well done.
Truly beautiful shots here, waves are perfect, just everything man!
What a great perspective on such a rippable wave!
Love your work. Justice to a beautiful LAGO session.
Regards from SW Oz.
Perfect shots, perfect edition...awesome job!
Nice work! Surfing the sky!!!
I've been watching tons of Phantom footage because I just bought one. Your footage is the best I've seen.
Best drone vid ever....better than Jaws and Hawaii!!! The quality was mediocre...shot from too far away...this is perfect...very very impressive...I really love it!
Best footage I've seen in a long time
Look at that crowd! Crazy cool video.
Wow! Great job, so good! Thanks for making this!
Nicely done. and the music was a great fit.
I really enjoyed this. Watched it twice.
Love it. Great job. Greetings from Rincon expats living in New Zealand.
Fantastic footage!!

Man, what a great wave.
This video gets me so stoked to get down to SB. It also plays perfectly with Summer by Calvin Harris, so there's that....
Awesome footage!!

Sick stuff David. I was out one of these days. I see myself in the water a couple of times. Love to get some footage one day. I will compensate.

Great Vid!!!
Love this vid. Good work
that was really awesome!!!!
Well done
That was the sh!t! Thanks for sharing!
wow. drones are incredible
this is hands down the best drone vid and best tracking with a drone/camera. all the gopro footie at pipleline and OB are shot too far with the distortion/fisheye lens. pretty sick of drone footie till this one came along. is that a shadow of the propellors in the water? they look huge?!
love it!!
Awesome...
looks like a perfect rights for a beginners like me!
in cherating, malaysia, theres one point break exactly like this, only that its a left, which a find it somehow difficult to learn. i just dont know why....
nao sei o q é mais legal. as imagens do drone ou esse mar.
nice video
Oh my!
Davvero bellissimo
Nice I just did my first one of there.
Amazing , it's fantastic!! Who know the soundtrack title?

So Awesome. I wonder how long it takes to learn to fly/control these drones?

How could anyone have not liked it?!

I remember when PEOPLE used to be required to get sweet surf footage. Now we have these soulless ROBOT DRONES automatically generating algorithmically "pleasing" video and music!? This is STEALING jobs away from HUMAN action sports cinematographers! MAKES ME SICK TO MY FRICKEN STOMACK!
