Gorgeous footage, and nice to see some (stunning) landscapes interspersed in there, breaking up the surfing continuity.
I also like seeing a wave from start to after the finish like this had a few times, seeing the surfer get nailed in the barrel and then pop up out the back of the wave. I hate the 2-second flash that is so prevalent these days, trying to look wow flashy different but just gives me eyestrain, a headache and a feeling of having wasted my time.

One thing tho - the footage of Jaws (I presume): I'm sure I've seen that wave from 2:25 last year. The way he finished, pulling his sleeve down and then rolling off the board looked really deja vu.

Yeah, found it. Spliced in at 2:35 was from the end of Ryan's water footage of Shane Dorian at Jaws Dec 2014, Billabong XXL entry#9. I don't have a problem with that, but it's not "early season Hawaii". Not sure where that blurb came from.

Gah, can't wait to get back there! Just had a look at the most recent model runs - looks like the storm track is looking better for the latter days of the waiting periods of the Sunset and Maui comps, and maybe just maybe a macking pipe swell to sort the men from the..ummm...brazos.

That was awesome, going there for 3 weeks in January/February and that just got me even keener.
