Also the ASP video team were there and had that fantastic slow motion HD camera with them. This has all come together to produce some of the most beautiful, amazing, frightful, artistic, surfing action footage ever. there is lots more to see. Google the slow motion and tow highlights for some of the best.
SICK!!!! I don't know how those guys can even survive a wipeout like that. That's gotta hurt!
Motion, I'm with you on this. some of those wipeouts seemed not survivable. And if not for the Tahitian water patrol on their jet skis, there would undoubtedly have been more injuries. Probably worse.
I'm hoping others here will look into more of this amazing footage, its the best.
