Thats pretty sick... If you look close in the beginning he doesn't use a tow rope he just kinda jumps off the side of the ski onto the wave.
he didn't paddle into cuz he was holding a camera in his hand. that wave is mesmerizing. second thoughts has a lot of waves shown from a camera on the board that is like that..but bigger and longer
yeah... Brian Conley is the top in the way of this. My eyes won't dry 1&2 are absolutely amazing. He definately did what G. Greenough did in the innermost limits of pure fun right, with really good equipment. as far as big and long go, my eyes won't dry 2 has some of the heaviest waves in this form of filming, long too. puerto escondido going off... that vid definately has tube view on some serious heavers.
I didn't really like the fisheye lens in My eye won' t dry because it made the waves look a lot smaller than what they were. This video was cool because the lens was pulled back a bit, and seemed like it wasn't curved as much (have no idea what i'm talking about). But the music pretty much fit in perfectly.
