A clip definitely of its time! a clip celebrating its 1080p status, ten years later we are talking about 4K and the future of 6K and 8K

Absolutely stunning! The quality of high definition cameras and videos today have opened up for us a world that was seemingly hidden to all of us up until now.

This was 15 years ago and it’s still an absolutely gorgeous shot. I too have shivers in my spine/arm. :)

I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like SoaD or Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho

Superb, he captured more than just a barrel and some wave vortex... that was truly the feeling of being in a wave. You know it's fast, but you feel otherwise. Silence, space and time get trapped in that vortex, and all you can do for yourself is ride... That's what it's all about...

This is not fake, its an amazing work of art. open your eyes to its beauty and grace!!

super slow motion ' I shot it and wasn't sure how good it was but I watched it back and I've still shivers in my spine. It's probably the best shot I've ever gotten, without a doubt.' your are the best !!!!

Wow it seems like BBC takes all the small things in life and simply make them beautiful.

This brought me to tears. Incredible.

To anyone wondering why this isn't FHD or even HD(although upscaled) - the camera used was an NAC Memrecam FX K5 Color.
It has a 1280x1024 sensor, and it shoots only at 1000 frames per second at that res.

stunning, one of the best videos i've ever seen on youtube

[Tanderzell]

A moving work of art! Stunning and beautiful at the same time.

[CSwainFilm]

that was outstandingly beautiful...
one of the greatest shots i have EVER seen.

[MrLeeMrLee]

i get goose bumps everytime i watch this, and i think more surfing videos should use this sort of camera

[Grumpy_old_Boot]

Oh wow, those were some awesome underwater shots.
Especially the one with the vortices ... pure awesome !

[Croissinate]

Shots of that wave just get better every frame! Great surfing, great quality, well done!
