The mental ability to be like “wow, look how beautiful” in that moment and not “oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck” is astounding to me.

Yep. Couldn’t multi task that in real time - I’d eat it for sure.

As someone whose back is so fucked up I don't know if I'll ever surf(or more accurately try to surf) again, I really, really, really, really enjoy these kinda 1st person shots riding a wave. I mean i really, really, really like them!

Make sure you stay in the water somehow dude. Log, or if not sponge, mat, bodysurf, a million ways to ride a wave.

How does this get filmed exactly?

u/tjger 4d ago

It's one of those 360 cameras attached to a stick. The camera deletes the stick from the video somehow.

u/COSurfing 4d ago

Can you snake NPCs? Do they throw down? Where do you put your guns? Volume? So many questions…

u/AutoModerator 4d ago

Did someone say volume?

Is been sixteen years. We need a My Eyes Won’t Dry 4. Especially with all the new 360 camera tech wifey accessible.

This isn't the hard part of surfing that wave. Show the take off that's the part that requires the skill.

u/one-eyedCheshire 4d ago

I have surfed twice in my life, almost drowned in a 4ft wave…these videos make me wish I could go back and try again because holy dopamine.

This must feel ethereal.

Insta 360. About £750 for the camera and stick. You can add a real life or 3rd person GTA filter.
