Mavericks from above - video
I'm still not sold on drone footage for big waves, it takes the terror out of the game and makes 'em look like something I could ride. Still, it gives you a perspective of waves you've only ever seen shot from sea level.
Here's Mavericks from above, filmed just three days ago.

All good at any perspective for these types of waves. You can have Em! Wearing hoods , gloves, booties and 5:4 streamers , possible white pointer presence and that lip launching bowl of 20 ft upwards all yours brew! Question though for anyone who can answer. How come we don't see any Todos Santos anymore? It was certainly a pioneering big sucker in its day. Have they shut it down or made a harbour or something down there. That inside bowl on the small days looked awesome , say 15 - 20 ft super round . Hmmmmm , yeah drones takem or leave 'Em
Here's the last vid of Todos I've seen SB. Great viewing!
I think the saxophone's initial soothing tones also help mellow the vision. Though the track it eventually leads into is terrifying, in a different kinda way.
I was thinking the same thing Ben, Kenny G lulling into a false sense of security then Bam! Smashed in the ears with 1D. The stuff nightmares are made of.
That Todos vid made me lose my breath just watching it.
The color of the water at Mavs makes it look even less inviting....
That Todos vid........your worst nightmare (mine at least), paddle hard, miss one, turn around & OH DEAR!!!
