It’s no secret how much I love surfing and I’m always on the lookout for the next bad ass surfing video. Combine that with the fact that I’m always looking for what other people are capable of doing with the Canon 7D- especially in regards to the limits of slow motion. Well, if you’re me, sooner or later you find this video- and then you find your mouth on the floor.

Behold Oahu’s famous north shore, at a blistering 1000 frames per second. Of course the 7D is not capable of filming at 1000FPS so additional software like twixtor is required to slow down the footage.

About a week ago I spent a week in Maui, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever had the enjoyment of visiting. Unfortunately I did not have any time for fishing, I spent the majority of my time surfing, I did manage to visit the Maui Ocean Center in my spare time and last night put together this video.

The audio track is Ka’au Crater Boys – I Hear Music. You’re also free to download a high quality copy of this video (Xvid – 50MB) hosted here on Fishing Fury.
