Surfing in Bali, Indonesia is unlike surfing any place in
the world. The moment you arrive to this special island you can feel a unique
energy. The Balinese culture is unlike any in the entire world and that also
goes for their kindness and smiles. As you prepare to paddle out to some of the
best surf in the world, you can’t help but to take in the body warming
environment of limestone cliffs, lush palm, cheeky monkeys, and smells of
Balinese offerings to the gods. Once you and your board enter the water and
begin your push towards the lineup you can’t help but to accept you are in
special waters. You marvel at the live reef below you filled with bright
colored coral, schools of tropical fish, and crystal clear water. Your body is
as happy as can be with water temperatures that couldn’t be anymore
comfortable.
The next phase of your immersion is positioning yourself
into the lineup. You realize there are more people from different parts of the
world and different colors of skin than you have ever been around. Surf banter
from different groups of friends excite you as the stoke is high with everyone
getting some of the best waves of their life. It’s impossible to not have a
smile on your face. And then here comes the best part…surfing!
One can only try and write the words that describe the
addicting love we connect with surfing a wave. Photographers and Videographers
have worked for decades capturing these actions and feelings. But now, the
aerial perspective has become widely accessible with the new technology and the
media is mind blowing. To be able to fly above someone surfing and present it
in high definition video is nothing less than spectacular.
Bali drone expert David Biner with Indo Eye is taking this
idea to a new level. Recently filming some incredible surf at Serangan in Bali,
he has put together a teaser video from his Bali drone company Indo Eye that
has the world seeing Indonesian surfing from a new perspective. Camera angles
showing multiple surfers on one wave, top-down aerial view, and dynamic follow
panning from behind to the front of the surfer while these surfers do what
fills their heart. It’s an exciting new generational push to show the world in
a fresh way and Indo Eye strives to lead the movement in Bali. For more aerial
