Love the clear lit bottom from straight above shots we only see like once or twice. Beautiful video regardless!

Same shot over and over again, weak. Shouldve given more shots of the reef through that transparent water, or just mixed it up somehow

I have a fear of surfing after the bottom fin cut into my thigh last time

Too many people in the sea. Can't be fun.

Gregg Smith - 8 years ago

Need some sharks to control the crowd, amazing wave but they can keep it. rather surf two foot mush than hassle

RG P - 8 years ago

Cool....but dang...that is a LOT of surfers. Great footage though.

MO JO - 7 years ago

don't know how those paddling out aren't smacked in the head by the surfers
i see them ducking under right at the last second
but eventually someone's going be late to the party and get his head slashed open by the fin or knocked out

monkeynkl - 7 years ago

That's surfing the north shore, if the waves are good in Hawaii there's an excellent chance for crowds. I surfed in a crowd on a clear full moon night @Threes. (Waikiki) Unforgettable. 6-7 foot glass, but with the full moon's light bouncing off the bottom of the wave made the curl look like it was about to break twenty yards ahead of you. Magical.

Its quite mild for November ! A nice bit of drone surf footage to get you away from this rubbish weather.

Drones changed the game for surfing videos

The California Natives - 7 years ago

Drones are life.

Richie O'Donnell - 7 years ago

They really did! They changed the game for everything! Only pro athletes could get aerial footage cuz it would be from a helicopter! Now we all can get our own aerial shots!

JIMJAMSC - 8 years ago

Just wondering. On a crowded day like that how many waves would one probably catch?
You have your locals,a pecking order,high low tide etc.... Curious....

Hats off,great Quad flying I know how hard this is to do, was any of this FPV or all just line off site flying? What Model was this a DJI, Blade or Custom quad, very nice work you did a great job.

HoverUAVDrones - 9 years ago

Nice videos dude!!!

Jeff D - 9 years ago

Pipeline seems so tame now because of the craziness that is chopes, the right, shipsterns, etc.

SanFranciscoBay - 9 years ago

Somebody needs to build a giant reflector to put some front lighting on the surfers.

monkeynkl - 7 years ago

Actually, early morning, up to maybe ten am would put the sun @ their back.

monkeynkl - 7 years ago

SAN FRAN... YES

mike potter - 9 years ago

This is one of the most powerful, amazing, crazy awesome video paired with music I have ever seen on YouTube....This video inspired an entirely new level of excitement for me and also made me go on out and get a drone....Many thanks Eric for pure awesomeness....

MO JO - 7 years ago

could have been done better

+mike potter so,, you haven't seen the Teahupo Phantom Camera footage? that's my favorite.

♪ Have you seen the sky by woodrowgerber ♪ Its not hard to find a song on a video. If no one says it in thread just use a music matching app like "Shazam" done.

christina lang - 9 years ago

this is just amazing <3

Would love to know the title of the music ,so incredible!

banana_power - 9 years ago

I watch this everyday. Absolutely marvelous :D

Laurent Outang - 9 years ago

dreamy

SanFranciscoBay - 9 years ago

Nice angle of Pipeline. Next thing drones will be in each others way and you'll have to have an Attack Drone to take out unwanted Drones and a Camera Drone that will do the filming.

Romain Ries - 9 years ago

phisher Bassman - 9 years ago

Don't know why there are not a million views of this. They should include this video in the messages we send out to other solar systems. Think aliens need to know we surf too. Lot of barriers broken right there.

Issiac Mathany - 6 years ago

jtlachappelle - 6 years ago

Compared to your president whos....who? Whos in bed with trump in every way except literally in any case. Shit probably literally too. Trump bends him/her over, has his way with them, anything so the aid money and military support wont stop flowing. You sanctimonious dickwad.

JimWakable - 6 years ago

Perhaps you ought to send this video to your moronic yankee president?

jtlachappelle - 7 years ago

Charlie dont surf.

The California Natives - 7 years ago

Seriously, it would be a pretty quick way to show them we are chill.

Gita Bhatia - 9 years ago

Man I would love to learn more about how the photographers learn to stay out of the way of the surfers and manage to take shots. Also, they would have to know how the waves work etc pretty intimately too- if anyone has any good resources they can point me to I would love to see it!!! Thanks!!!

Xinfyre - 8 years ago

the camera men just duck under the wave when the surfer comes through. the fins only go down a few inches so they just dive before the rider gets there

Was I the only one who noticed the huge ass jellyfish at 1:59?

Ja M - 8 years ago

Lol you wouldn't be so scared of a jellyfish when it's breaking 15 ft out at pipe

SBERTOL84 - 9 years ago

That looked like a huge bubble from the previous wave.

Niklas Gindler - 9 years ago

+IcanSPELLmyNAME OG Thats the famous "Boil" created by a gap in the reef..

Carl Bayly - 9 years ago

Colin Roohan - 9 years ago

Jacob Pirate - 9 years ago

Must be an intense feeling, going through a wave like that..Awesome

Scott James - 9 years ago

they didn't let bruce irons into the "in loving memory of andy irons pipemasters" and then he shredss pipe outside the contest.

Tom Power - 9 years ago

It almost looks as if you need to wear a helmet as one guy launches and there's about 20 heads in his way, I wouldn't want to be hit by a surfboard at 20 knots.

mike anderson - 9 years ago

very cool

Toby Anderson - 9 years ago

Amazing, i'm so glad that the footage is at full speed and not slowed down. I think it ruins it when they slow it down.

tradewind08 - 9 years ago

mind = blown.

jrmusante1 - 9 years ago

Probably the best video Surfline has ever uploaded

Roy Hofman - 9 years ago

awesome vid thanks

Teddy Parker - 9 years ago

Call me different but I'd much prefer the natural speed and audio, even if it is a bit washed out with the drone sounds. I don't want to feel like I'm at a movie I want to feel like I'm there. Seeing the spit fly, hearing the lip smack, and sensing the power of the wave in question...

MrPCHM - 9 years ago

I'm not a surfer but I honestly don't think you have to be to appreciate this footage. Just awesome! Nice job...

Ev Alland - 9 years ago

Manic Bunny - 9 years ago

Shedz Channel - 9 years ago

awesome!
but i like my surf way less crowded!

jtlachappelle - 7 years ago

"shouldnt even be out there"... Fuck you. Who the fuck are you? Its the ocean man, you own it? Nope. Every person has a right to be out there. You were a "kook" at one time too, actually, with your cocksuckerface attitude youre probably the biggest kook out there. A true surfer has humility and respect for all and is stoked to see everyone out enjoying themselves and be a part of that

shorebreak69 - 9 years ago

yeah, they've been getting a little nippy lately,,, no pun intended.

Shedz Channel - 9 years ago

+shorebreak69 see those buggers all the time here in wa. cant say they arent on my mind constantly these days!

shorebreak69 - 9 years ago

+Shedz Channel & big, hungry sharks,,,, been chased many times,,, & they scare the fuck out of me !!!

shorebreak69 - 9 years ago

it's a sign of the times, I grew up surfin' Bells & surrounds in the 70's,,, nowadays 90 % of the crowd are kooks, they shouldn't even be out there,,,, it makes me sad that I now resort to lesser breaks,,,,, curse you Ripcurl, & Coastalwatch, & cheap airfares !!!

Shedz Channel - 9 years ago

+jack basedgod thats exactly my point!...but here in western australia we have some of the biggest and best surf in the world without the crowds!....and thats the way ''I'' like it!

Sam Cecil - 9 years ago

the camera angles will get better as they practice it more

MO JO - 7 years ago

i agree with sam
fuckheads that praised it are happy with what they get
they lack discernment, class, imagination, maturity, etc
they will eat shit if you sprinkle some sugar on it

(not saying it's crap, just that it could have been way better)

Skip Brown - 9 years ago

dude, really??? That footage was insane, Sam. They freakin nailed it,.
