Bazza, yet another outstanding video offering, thanks bro.
the first couple of upside down shots were a little disorienting for me, but beautiful
One of the big adjustments to surfing in Tahiti is the water clarity, as you start to take the drop and look down it seems that the reef is dry cause you see right thru the water. a bit of a shocker at first. We've got some clean water here in Hawaii, but it is a whole nuther thing in Tahiti.
As to wind surfing big waves, its all real easy til it isn't. I have had long sessions in double mast high waves all most dry headed. But then it can easily go from stoking good fun to piled up well offshore in the impact zone with a bunch of broken gear, lots of current trying to take where you don't want to go. And only half a board to paddle in on or just swimming. The classic hero to zero situation that takes just a moment to happen. Its all good tho, once you make it back to the beach. BTDT.
Cheers Richard
