A one minute video with loads of surf action squeezed into it, all made subject to a Skrillex soundtrack, a pinball machine edit |
Hometown surf - just good vibes
I've put this video on Facebook earlier this year to share with my mates. Now on YouTube as well. It is not about how well we surf, it's about people learning, enjoying and sharing those hometown waves with nothing but good vibes |

GravityCartel Opening Party - video
Here's
a video showing the vibes at GravityCartel's inauguration party on
June
26th
at the 4YOU Youth Hostel in Calpe.
Some SUP, skate and scenic shots
|
|
Few test videos...
   
Some vids I re-edited using 'pixel motion' software allowing me to
create some extreme slow motion clips (almost too much)
As I only publish 'official' reports on my site, I recommend
joining
SurfDudeSpain at FaceBook
for those random shots and short vids (like these) I occasionally
publish there.

9 + 10 March Surf Video & Photo report!
The waves were too big at the usual spots, however surf was possible
with wrap-around waves at different spots. I filmed HD at 60 fps with
the Canon EOS 7D so make sure you watch the movie in HD mode and full
screen

15 January Surf Video
Another surf session with 2 meter waves and the usual riders. I tried
to film in the water armed with a tiny Mickey Mouse bodyboard but
didn't last more than 15 minutes, lesson learned... So this video
I shot safely rom the shore
|
|
8 January Bodyboard/Surf Video & Photos
A big north-east swell came along with the snowy weather! Mostly bodyboarders
were out there as it was tough catching these fast barrels.
Hope you enjoy my video & pics!

New: GoPro Watercam Video, various
angles...
After a few slow motin videos, I thought it would be time for something
more upbeat. Here's a compilation of all the angles I could think
of for the 'GoPro Hero' camera attached to the kite, windsurf, boom,
footstraps, SUP, kayak, helmet, etc.... Turn on your speakers and
enjoy the ride!
