Surf

In a few short years, Nazaré has grown from a sleepy little coastal town in Portugal that nobody had ever heard off to the undisputed big wave surf location. Every winter, storms on the Atlantic ocean bring massive swell to the Nazaré. The canyon underwater and the way the ocean floor is shaped, create a very unique wave pattern, that peaks higher than pretty much anywhere else on this planet. As surfers flock to this Portuguese town, so do the filmmakers with their drones to capture the amazing action. One of them was Cameron Calistro who flew his drone low to better show the size of these massive waves.

Well, I believe this is a first. During a World Surf League event at the (in)famous surf spot Jaws, a helicopter simply blows an unauthorized drone out of the sky and into the drink. Original? Yes. Smart, and safe solution, recommended by the FAA? Not so much.
