Pier Surf 1 + 3, local surfing shorts

Here's 2 surfing pieces I did just for fun, filmed at Oceanside Pier, CA with Broken Social Scene used in both.

Pier Surf III is in my opinion is a better "surf" video with better performances by my friends instead of random people, tighter edits and a few other things I was experimenting with. I've learned a lot from the first video to this one and it shows.

Pier Surf 1 is a bit more entertaining to a non surfer maybe, the water looks nicer because its a sunny day as opposed to 3's haziness, but it's not edited to the music as precise as the stuff later. I realize the beginning is a bit slow, I did it to pace with the music but I guess it was a bit too much.

for the time being im filming these to practice and to entertain my friends, but as soon as I get a camera with a longer zoom and a light housing I'm going to get a bit more serious with it. so, any comments or criticisms?

I liked the videos. The second one was my favorite because it had variations and different scenes.

Yeah the second one was more interesting.... but the cuts of the kid on the street getting ready were a bit drawn out. Same with the scene of the white safety fence on the pier. But like I said more enjoyable than the first one.
