Surfing has changed a lot in the last few decades. Not just the way we ride waves, but the way we see those waves ridden. Technology has brought us to a place where equipment once used only by industry professionals is available to anyone with extra cash lying around. And that, of course, has changed what an “industry professional” is. Tucker Wooding is a guy with the equipment and the skills to showcase some of the best surfers in the best waves in the best possible light.
In Wherever I Roam, Wooding films Kai Lenny’s big wave exploits with his drone. Kai would likely be doing the things he does whether there was an audience or not, but it sure is handy to have someone like Wooding to show that audience just how nuts those things are.
“It’s incredible what the drone can capture,” Lenny writes. “In Big Waves it can take us to unimaginable places!”
Kai has a different mindset when it comes to surfing big waves. He surfs them like most surfers surf regular waves, and it’s wild to watch, especially when the footage shows exactly what he’s able to do.
