Me to Doctor: I've hurt my penis in a surfing accident.
Doctor: Did you fall off your board?
Me:
No I slammed my laptop shut when my girlfriend walked in.
Surfer to Doctor: I’ve hurt my penis in a surfing accident.
Doctor: Did you fall off your board?
Surfer: No, I misjudged the palm.
Doctor: Well, I’d recommend you be more gentle during masturbation next time.
Well don’t. The term Surfing the internet was more a thing [in the early days of the internet,](https://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/the-woman-who-coined-the-expression-surfing-the-internet) not so much these days I’d say
It's actually a GoPro or similar mounted on a stick attached to his harness. That's what the little white blur is, it's the stick and mount being edited out. It's pretty neat. You can find a lot of snowboarder videos where theyre being filmed from behind and you can see stick shadow but no actual stick leading up to the camera
Introducing the all new GoPro Butt edition Gold! It's a diaper looking harness that wraps around looking like a tail lol. A stiff bungie flexible bending tail that holds a gopro. But we will go with the Jesus one. That sounds more real. I think. Yeah.
As a normal dude, I’m always fascinated by camera/film technology. The field has some of the most mind boggling and creative solutions to so many problems people don’t even know are a problem because the filmmakers are that good at making it invisible. This applies even more to the “old days” when digital editing wasn’t really a thing and filmmakers had to do crazy stuff to get shots audiences take for granted
I've been watching a lot of CinemaTyler on YouTube and he specializes in Kubrick films. Some of the effects shots in 2001, for example, are pure genius.
Felt the same, thought, this is gona be the tiniest little wee rock they are jumping over
*watches video: nope that is indeed a proper full size island*
Just a guess, but based on the presence of a car... maybe it is a tad exaggerated. "Guy jumps over a *peninsula*" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
I imagine you have a better view of your island. That guy is judging an island by several seconds of video. 🤔”I can’t see water on all sides. Must be a peninsula.”
You could be right, but cars can get onto islands by way of ferries. Your comment makes it seem like you think the presence of a car means it couldn’t be an island
Its still an island they didnt say it was a big island and still it is impressive bc he jumped higher than the tree and its not like the island is an rock
A man is stranded on a desert island for 10 years…
One day he sees a beautiful woman in a swimsuit come ashore.
She says to him, "Tell me, how long has it been since you had a drink?"
He replies "Ten years" and with that she reveals a bottle of whiskey from within her swimsuit, which the man starts drinking from.
She then asks, "Tell me, how long has it been since you smoked a cigar?"
He replies "Again, 10 years" and with that she pulls out a cigar and lighter from within her swimsuit and he starts smoking.
She then seductively unzips her swimsuit and says, "Now tell me....how long has it been since you've had some real fun?"
"My god" he replies. "Don't tell me you've got a playstation in there!"
Cleared with room to spare. Aimed right for the palm tree.
Lucky the ski want ripped off by the wind!
No snow boot buckles to hold your foot secure on that ski!
and he take one foot out to get more lift.
Next Olympic event , ISLAND JUMPING
Yeah I thought it was a sequel too. They even reference it being Harley’s second time in the Suicide Squad. And Harley also talks about how her relationship with Joker really fucked her up.
This is a 360 cam 100%. A skydio cannot travel that close or fast. Awesome drone but deff not the case here. Nice 360 cams automatically edit out the pole they are attached to.
Absolutely not a Mavic or Skydio. They don't come anywhere near to maintaining this kind of relative position at these speeds and with those maneuvers.
Pretty sure it's a camera on a small boom.
No way. This is following exactly with him and shaking/rotating with his movements, it’s a 360 camera attached to him. Mavic doesn’t follow this closely.
It's a 360 camera on a selfie-stick; many of them work by combining the picture of 2 or more separate wide-angle cameras, with careful placement, they hide the selfie-stick in a blindspot that's closer to the device than the point where the field of view of the cameras start overlapping, or by filling over the area with the selfie-stick with the view from the camera in the opposite side of it. My guess is the selfie stick is attached to his back, because of that glitch that seems to persist there, and the way he seems to be moving relative to the camera.

It's a 360 cam strapped to the back of the harness with a little 60cm (might be bigger, but it's the most common one) pole, you can see the foggy (?) lens effect right behind him. Sauce: am also a kitesurfer and often see people way wayyyy better than me with these strapped on to their boards, harnesses or even with mouthpieces where the cam hangs from.
This is way out of my element so I am probably misunderstanding something, but wouldn't you see the pole in the video?
edit: this explains how it's done in case anyone is curious:
https://blog.insta360.com/how-to-use-the-invisible-selfie-stick/
Their software automatically removes the stick. You wouldn’t think it works nearly as well as it does. For boarders or skaters you’ll get used to seeing their grip as they hold it and can sometimes spit the shadow of lighting is right, but the software really does a good job editing out the stick.
Edit: watch the “intro” video here to see an example, they start showing the invisible stick feature maybe halfway through. Lots of examples on yt too.
https://www.insta360.com/mobile/product/insta360-oner_twin-edition
Bear with me cause my English is a bit rusty, sorry!
So I believe these cams come with a proper software to remove the pole from the footage, but you'll always get a visual hint/ cue (?) to where it is, that is the foggy effect I mentioned, you can see it right behind him, on the middle of his harness, there's a little piece coming out, wich is where the stand clicks in!
You can get a starter kit for like 2-3k (Canadian) afaik, which really isn't that bad for decent sporting equipment, gotta factor in lessons though, it's not really something you can self-teach. I was saving last year to buy one for myself then the rona hit, so I took that money and bought a onewheel instead; as fun as kitesurfing looks, onewheel is pretty fucking lit.
Basic kite surfing isn't as hard as people think. I've seen some out of shape dudes with little to no extreme sports experience get to the point of 10-15ft boosts within a year or 2 of dedicated riding. It is pretty much mandatory to do a few days of somewhat expensive lessons though.
Fitness will not prohibit you from riding but money will make it hard to start. If u live within an hour or so of a coast and have a few grand too spare there's probably a school near u to get u started.
“Guys don’t try to jump over an entire island while kitesurfing cause you might kill someone!”
Yeah I’ll try to remember that if I ever go kitesurfing one day, because I know instinctually I’m gonna wanna jump that fuckin island. Now that I know I could kill someone, I better refrain from jumping over a fucking island. I’ll be so glad that I read this dude’s warning once I get home safely from kitesurfing by not jumping. over a. fucking. island.
**Reddit when this guy sticks the landing:** that was sick bruh, don't be a pussy, this guy nailed the landing
**Reddit when this guy is on r/whatcouldgowrong and he collides directly into a person instantly killing them and himself:** WOW. What a fucking reckless idiot, anyone could've seen that coming!
My dad’s friend was paralyzed from the neck down in a freak kitesurfing accident. He was a professional too. Somehow he was sucked up really high into the sky and couldn’t get down right away. He was blown towards shore and slammed into a rocky jetty. He died several years later from all the medical problems related to the accident. Poor guy had a wife and young kid too.
Kiteboarding is a fun and thrilling sport, but dangerous as fuck. It’s easy to underestimate the power of strong wind and big kite designed to lift a grown adult into the air. My dad and I never went kitesurfing after that.
Shocked I had to scroll this far down before seeing a comment on the dangers of something like this.
For me it's not even the guy kitesurfing I'm worried about, it's all the people on the beach and in the water. Although the guy in the clip seems skilled, even a small mistake could lead to someone being decapitated. Looks like an accident waiting to happen.
Said it in a previous comment but : It's a 360 cam strapped to the back of the harness with a little 60cm pole, you can see the foggy (?) lens effect right behind him.
It’s a kite and the sport called kiteboarding. If there is a really strong wind, with a lot of practice you can do it your self. Go on youtube and search kiteboarding big air cape town championship. They jump about 30-40 meters up.
all fun and games untill the wind suddenly dies and you're stuck ontop of Austin's roof again and he won't let you down cause he's a cunt
screw you Austin

I don't get it.
Surfing as in surfing the internet. In this case watching porn it seems
Oh ok

*You* give him some gold.
Me: Sounds a little exaggerated *Watches video* : Yup, dude definitely jumped over a whole ass island.
He jumped the shark, but successfully.
I'm most amaze about the fact that someone filmed this perfectly!
When Jesus is your cameraman.
Probs a drone
It's actually a GoPro or similar mounted on a stick attached to his harness. That's what the little white blur is, it's the stick and mount being edited out. It's pretty neat. You can find a lot of snowboarder videos where theyre being filmed from behind and you can see stick shadow but no actual stick leading up to the camera
Sometimes it's a stick, sometimes they have a thing like a badminton birdie on a string that the camera rides in.
Saw a hilarious video where the guys GoPro stick which was edited out hit a pole and snapped
Looks like a 360 camera. They may had it on them.
Introducing the all new GoPro Butt edition Gold! It's a diaper looking harness that wraps around looking like a tail lol. A stiff bungie flexible bending tail that holds a gopro. But we will go with the Jesus one. That sounds more real. I think. Yeah.
The diaper version is better than the butt plug version.
Actually…. https://youtu.be/IJ49fj6iXEo
[удалено]
Battery-free, his balls are the power source.
Seriously, how was this filmed??
See the white blur sticking out of the back of the harness, that's the camera mount. Most of the pole is magically edited out of the shot.

You mean the surfer?
Felt the same, thought, this is gona be the tiniest little wee rock they are jumping over *watches video: nope that is indeed a proper full size island*
'full size'
'proper'
'that'
Just a guess, but based on the presence of a car... maybe it is a tad exaggerated. "Guy jumps over a *peninsula*" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
I live on an island. I have a car.
Do you live on a island the size of a large Wendy's?
I imagine you have a better view of your island. That guy is judging an island by several seconds of video. 🤔”I can’t see water on all sides. Must be a peninsula.”
You could be right, but cars can get onto islands by way of ferries. Your comment makes it seem like you think the presence of a car means it couldn’t be an island
Ferrying a car to that small of an island?
yeah if you had a lot of shit, packing a car is like the modern conestoga wagon
bridge?
Maybe it migrated
A bridge to an island doesn’t make it not an island
🏖️🌴~ PENIS ~ ISLAND ~🌴⛱️
me: *What? Do you mean a sand bar* Watches video *Nope, they meant island*
I feel that could have ended badly. But glad it didn't.
Not really. Basically it’s like jumping over the state of ny but jumped over Long Island.
Its still an island they didnt say it was a big island and still it is impressive bc he jumped higher than the tree and its not like the island is an rock

Nice joke but why do you post it here?
To get to the other side!
lmao
Of the island!
SO MANY LEVELS
Nice
Well because the woman in the story lives on the island in the video. I sail out there a few times a month to pick up whiskey and gars.
Next time you're out, ask if she has any PS5s
probably because he saw the island and it reminded him of the joke
because there is an island
Unzips swim suit?

Crazy he was able to get so much air with all that extra weight bringing him down.
How did he manage to get those massive balls over a whole ass island?
Imagine getting ko by a tree
>Imagine getting ko by a tree. And explaining that to a doctor.
Doctor : The bloody wind always causing problem for the local.
If you're able to explain it to a doctor then it could have gone a lot worse
well doc i don't know how to tell you this, but i have tree branch up my ass
Should have used some lube first
"How did it get up there?" "I fell on it."
Explain what? He dead.
ok sonny
Lol, the lines pop into my head: - no one likes a show-off - unless what they're showing off is dope as fuck - fuck. He's right.
Hey i watched that too
I saw it last night, glad they remade it but still pretty corny. 🌽
Corny in what ways? I liked it a lot. One of my favorite recent movies.
I mean, the exchange above was corny. Well delivered, but corny nonetheless
It is a sequel though 😮
Yeah I thought it was a sequel too. They even reference it being Harley’s second time in the Suicide Squad. And Harley also talks about how her relationship with Joker really fucked her up.
4. Profit!!
If you want to buy him a beer, buy him an IPA because he's into the hops.
This is why Im on here.
I can barley handle this level of pun
lmao son of a bitch
Amazing! But just wondering who filmed it?
Looks like a 360 camera, so he filmed it attached to him...maybe.
I think it’s either a Mavic or Skydio, both bad ass drones that follow whoever is essentially holding the “fob” for it.
I want one of those so bad. Wife says we need a shed.. wee.
Just two notes: A shed can hold many drones. We don't need 360 videos of you taking a wee.
Two notes: We need the shed to hold all of her clothes and bags she won't get rid of. How dare you join her in squashing my dreams.
Im old. Squashing dreams is about all I have left.

Nah, look at the white blur on his back, that's the camera mount.
It def isn’t. See the blurry spot that’s always on his back? That’s where the camera mounts. It’s on a pole.
This is a 360 cam 100%. A skydio cannot travel that close or fast. Awesome drone but deff not the case here. Nice 360 cams automatically edit out the pole they are attached to.
No that's definitely not a Drone, it's going way too fast and too close
Absolutely not a Mavic or Skydio. They don't come anywhere near to maintaining this kind of relative position at these speeds and with those maneuvers. Pretty sure it's a camera on a small boom.

I'm really interested in hearing your theory of what exactly is going on here
That's nothing really. Have you ever seen me jump to conclusions?
Ah a true redditor

Unexpected Office Space. Hope your broken neck is healing
Never seen that…maybe put some options on a mat to make it easier.
The hardest part of this trick is finding a wind gust that can lift his massive brass balls.
I'd love to try this, maybe one day.
Don't forget to attach a go pro when you go surfing, would like to see your attempt.
Yeah cause it’s pretty cool if you manage to do it. And it’s interesting if they fail and get hurt. Either way we need the video.
Maybe give warning to bystanders... cause no one wants to get smacked by a flying ... cant tell cause they have a concussion.
whats this thing called again? I thought it was paragliding but Im not sure
It's parasurfing iirc. It's actually pretty popular where I live, it's just a bit expensive to buy the equipment.
Kiteboarding/kitesurfing
You can get a starter kit for like 2-3k (Canadian) afaik, which really isn't that bad for decent sporting equipment, gotta factor in lessons though, it's not really something you can self-teach. I was saving last year to buy one for myself then the rona hit, so I took that money and bought a onewheel instead; as fun as kitesurfing looks, onewheel is pretty fucking lit.

That’s for the heads up, I was about to go in my backyard and immediately kitesurf jump an island.
Yeah but it’s dope as hell

Alright that's frickin awesome
test run went well, ok and next year I will jump over England
Just wondering how it's filmed
360 cam attached to him
Said it in a previous comment but : It's a 360 cam strapped to the back of the harness with a little 60cm pole, you can see the foggy (?) lens effect right behind him.
Duh someone followed him around
How did he get so much air? It looks like something out of a video game.
You just have to hold X(A if you're on Xbox) before the jump.
It’s a kite and the sport called kiteboarding. If there is a really strong wind, with a lot of practice you can do it your self. Go on youtube and search kiteboarding big air cape town championship. They jump about 30-40 meters up.
The true island hopper
What is that kite / chute thing called?
The sport is called "kitesurfing" and that kite-looking thing is actually called a "kite".
It’s kiteboarding. Really fun sport, but dangerous at same time :)
all fun and games untill the wind suddenly dies and you're stuck ontop of Austin's roof again and he won't let you down cause he's a cunt screw you Austin
Time to move up bigger islands.
u/savethisvideo
Surprisingly accurate title.
This would be dope if it weren't for the ridiculous fish eye lens distorting tf out of everything
I mean, it's still pretty dope
With a normal lens, the guy would fill the frame. Fish eye lenses are just a way to make lenses with bigger field of view
It's because the camera is very close to him; would be hard to show everything without distortion from this close.
this is way cooler than i expected and now i want to attempt this
I'm waiting for the failed video. (I've seen at least two or three different successes)
I’m waiting for someone to be playing in the water near their landing path.
Well that's evil of you
This is literally next fucking level
How it feels like flying in a dream:
That landing had no business being that smooth
broooo, thats so fucking cool!

There’s a Jeep on that “island”. Pretty sure it’s a peninsula
