getting good water sports footage can be difficult with the spark since sports mode triggers fpv only on the gimbal
Here is a video i shot last week in the Bahamas

Nice! You should try active track, I saw a video where it keeps following a car going with 50km/h, so same speed as in sport mode. You would get a more stable and smooth footage ;)

Very nice shots!
I noticed the  water colour changes between shots?
Some whitebalance issues?

Did you use FPV or Follow me mode? (since the horizon is not level in sometimes) or was that because of Sports mode?

And last q: were these shots manually flown or with active track?

Thanks!  It was all shot manually. I ve never used active track or other modes as from experience with the Mavic i found it doesn't work well with target that often change course

The difference In color comes from the fact that the clip were  shot at different time of the day and different angles to the sun

Lost the spark a couple of days later, leaning towards getting a Mavic now unless it turns out the just being released update finally cures the bugs

Ok, that explains the change in colour indeed.
You lost the spark completely?

Yes   at first I thought it was an RTH failure after a loss of conn but in the absence of error in the log I suspect it was just a typical spark "skyfall"

Cool video!

I usually stay out of sport mode because there is so much to crash into. Not a problem you would have out there.
