Once in a Lifetime Surfing Shot Captured with a High Speed Camera

The Roman philosopher Seneca once said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” This clip from the BBC documentary “South Pacific” shows Rudi Diesel capturing a once in a lifetime shot of surfer Dylan Longbottom in a massive 12-foot wave using a Typhoon HD4 high speed camera. It’s the first shot of its kind ever recorded, and one of the most amazing surfing shots you’ll ever see.

The pseudo-slow motion surfing video we shared yesterday compared to this one is like comparing 2D to 3D.
