[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you!

[@drcdfellows]

Nice footage and edit! That was a big swell - kept me on the beach

[@edwinvonessen1165]

Great footage of the area ! Sometime its quite the challenge getting out in that spot. My favorite home break for 45 years

[@DrRaygraph]

Awesome! Thanks for shooting and sharing this epic swell!

[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you!

[@striper37]

Such a great little film ! Enjoyed it a lot. At times the break struggled with the size of the swell and was closing out. That surprised me. Drone footage was solid but for me the shore footage was superior- the old guy on the orange board so stylish. Bassett hound and pelican squadron were a nice touch !

[@MaddieHuot]

Appreciate it!

[@bigfootsurfclub5605]

Fabulous. I lived there in 1976. My favorite spot. Well done. More on the way next week!

[@MaddieHuot]

Good one Maddie!

[@walterbostwick4618]

Cool movie, looks like a lot of riders on big guns they don't usually get out of the rafters!

[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you! 🤙 Totally haha waves were finally big enough! 🌊

[@indysurfer9085]

Fantastic!

Thank you so much! 🙌

I want to say I saw the original Big Wednesday with my surf buddies in the movie theatre. Gary Busey would be impressed I’m sure. Good job.

[@MaddieHuot]

Haha I appreciate it! 🤙

[@markshepardsongs]

COWABUNGAH SHAZAAAM! loved it and especially the cutaways towards the end of "beach life" mixed in with "Surf Life" decent music too.... although let me know if you ever want something original :o)

[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you so much!

Super talented Maddie! I am local and love the footage. Hope you found a nook and caught some waves too!

[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you so much! Way too big for me but it was beautiful to watch and film! 🙌🎥😁

[@WjB_96792]

I like it, good job! May i suggest for your next project: Less drone footage and more davey miller footage!

[@JayJahy]

Nice artistic job. You have a good eye and ear. Nice editing.

[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you so much!

[@wesleychapman9001]

Great video Maddie!

[@markwalker8351]

Enjoyed from here on the NC Coast. Thank you.

[@MaddieHuot]

Thanks for watching! 🤙

[@patrickwhelan5703]

One of the best soundtracks to awesome surf. Reminds me of a lot of the Beach Boy tunes, Gordon Lightfoot too. Such a nicely produced video but great drone shots. Nice that you got them riding the wave out. Well Done! Do More:)) I lived in Long Beach, NY and when hurricanes approached we were out there. Sometimes even better when it pulled out because it brought the North wind to hold up the waves.

[@MaddieHuot]

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! 🤙

[@k1k2lee]

Great flic

[@MaddieHuot]
