This is incredible footage! That said I'm torn between my passion for surfing and the fact that I would hate to see what that salt spray probably did to, what appears to be a DJI Inspire from the shadow.

Not to mention my nervousness of the drone going in vs my nervousness at some of those guys/girls going over the falls.

I absolutely love everything about Teahupoo. Just the most beautiful wave.

That looks reallllly shallow in front of those waves...

My god, those lips are so thick it must feel like getting hit by a truck if you're caught out in the flats... and there's only 20 inches of water between you and the reef in the flats in some spots. I'm amazed there have only been 5 recorded surfing deaths at that break.
