@ConfusedCanadian403

Kiwifix It's not that they don't really want to show the other angles, it's more just that the swell for this particular storm made it hard to see everything from the beach because the wave breaks so far from shore. The best angles, and really the best way to showcase the wave, are from the channel where you see all this footage. You could the full look at the height, power, and really everything important about the wave. I'm sure if there was really good footage from the beach they would have used it. I just doubt with a swell like this and the footage you could get from the channel there'd be any point in filming from the beach.

@thomasrebotier1741

Because the shots are taken from the channel. The wave breaks too hard for a surf photog to be underwater. He would get killed, literally, on a cleanup set. I guess also this was 2011 there werent so many drones around. But even today I don't think a drone could hang above the breaking wave, the draft alone must gust over 25 knots

***** You need to get real man. Warning the world of the reality of Hell is not terrorism by threatening torture and pain in order to get my way. Get real. I don't want my way, I want you to be saved from the eternal consequences of your great many sins against God. You should stop throwing around serious words like "terrorist" when you're referring to a worldview like Christianity, especially if you come from a country that has been founded on such a faith. Stop accusing peaceful followers of the Lord & Savior Jesus Christ of "threatening" when I have no power to punish for sins, and if you want to continue in your sins down the wide road of perdition, that's your choice--go right ahead; but, my eyes have been opened by being born-again spiritually and I know that what God tells us in the Holy Bible is True, and, like God, I don't want anyone to perish and go to Hell. Do not equivocate this with a worldview like radical Islam that will try to force you by the sword to believe in Allah or else kill you.
