+Fennecbutt LOL, It sure doesn't take much to set off the overly offended...

(Perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black)

A benign comment on the merits of surfing offline vs online is a bit much for some to take before they default to petty snarkiness...

Tsk, tsk, tsk.. *Shakes head, and walks off.

This is a great video. I saw this a while back and finally I found it again. What an awesome point of view. I felt like I was on the board riding the wave

Abby Eaton - 9 years ago

so exactly what settings were used, and how was post used with what program?
Amazing detail! Best barrel I've ever seen!!!
Have you given up surfing now since catching the best wave ever?
(kidding of coarse!).

William A - 9 years ago

must take forever to get back to the lineup haha

Mark Hurlock - 9 years ago

minute :48 to :51: Looks like Koa burned somebody who was already in the barrel when he took off. Hard to tell because of the wide angle. I haven't read all 234 comments, but has Koa clarified what exactly happened to the guy who was already on the wave? Was it an unmakeable section? Or would the other guy have had an even longer barrel?

Marco Brotto - 9 years ago

Actually I've seen an interview and he said the guy fell..

Marco Brotto - 9 years ago

Since its in a very remote place I'm guessing they are friends/trip partners..so there's no "drop-in controversy"

I like how you show the different ways to play the 60 or 120 frame per second video... the raw footage at the end is great to see how the 60 or 120 fps option is supposed to work, by slowing it down, we see sooo much more detail as it was shooting so many more pics per second. I love Cineform because it slows down the footage by stretching out those 60 or 120 frames per second to 30, making it 2 or 4 times slower and 2 or 4 times more detailed as well. I cant wait to get my hero4 ! I love 120fps for skiing, but with UHD coming out, I honestly can't see myself shooting in 720 anymore.

AdamK - 9 years ago

Question for you guys, i've been following your tips, yet when I upload to youtube the quality isn't that great. It's good but nowhere near as crisp as i'm seeing in this video. I use final cut pro X and I export via compressor using the recommended MPEG4 format using H.264 codec set to high quality wit as higher bitrate as I dare. I've even tried 30000kbps but it just dosen't look as crisp as your videos. Not sure what editing suite you use, but it looks good with the videos you produce. I get a lot of lossless compression noise, especially on actionshots POV like mountain biking etc. So just wondering if you've any advice for best formats for exporting video in preparation for uploading to youtube?
Check out my timelapse video too se how it's absolutely not as crisp as it is in this video even though you watch it in 1080p.
Any help greatly appreciated! ;)
