The local club ask me to do a short video of the competition they were holding... if you dont think flying low over the surf is risky check out the video at the 22sec mark.........

had a great time for the 2 hours i was there...

Wow that 22Sec mark called for a towel I think lol.....hope you sprayed it will something before you went out.
I have to say, you get some of the best surf stuff I have seen, but I will apologise now that I will never buy a used drone from you hahaha......I guess you get your value out of them though........the tourist people up there would love your stuff.

That's gold at the .22 mark, nice flying. Salt water and drones don't mix hehe.

Hi Harb... thanks for setting me straight about the 22sec.... i spray the inspire i use for the surfing.. (i have 3 inspires) ..with WD40... magic stuff... i am finding a lot of interest in the surfing community ... not so much on these sites,they are more interested in photography and production videos... personally i like the action side of it... the inspire is a great UAV for capturing these exciting sports... but it comes with a risk...

Yeah well you do what you do very well....
I have a mate that used to work for me......he was/is a MiniCam expert......puts race cams and stuff on Race Cars and Bikes etc, but he also used to do a lot of surfing stuff, including that show...Bondi Surf Rescue I think it was.....I have just sent you a friend request so if you like , you can send me your Email and Phone number.......not sure what he is doing these days, but I bet he could use a good shot like yours if he still does the surfing comps.......you never know.
