Surfing is becoming a global spectacle. We've seen a night surfing show with LED surfboards and also watched Bruce Irons taking on flare surfing in the dark. What comes next?
"Swell Lovers" follows the evolution of surfers on the waves of Parlementia, in Guéthary, in the French Basque Country coast. The "Soulcam" airship is capturing 3D footage that actually puts the surf movie spectator in the heart of the wave. The new airship is 14 metres long and can reach an altitude of 150 metres. With four electric motors, the "Soulcam" is radio-controlled from the ground. Its motors are battery operated and the structure holds HD cameras. "Swell Lovers" promises unique surfing frames and it is the result of a partnership between O'Neill and Orange. |
