Some episodes explain things. This one just shows you what a good line looks like, uninterrupted, for the length of a song. If you have been watching carving tutorials and struggling to picture the end result, this is the end result, cut to Primal Scream’s “Higher than the Sun”.
One drone, one continuous look
Everything here was filmed on the DJI Avata, and that choice shapes what you see. An FPV style aircraft can hold a line alongside a rider and swing through the turn with them rather than watching from a fixed vantage point, which is why the carves read as arcs instead of as a series of passes. If you are working out how to film your own riding, the whole edit is a demonstration of what a single drone in the right hands can do without any other camera involved.
The setup doing the carving
The board is a Lift4 Pro on a 32 inch mast with LCS, running a 100 Surf V2 front wing and a 36 Glide stabilizer. That is a small, surf-oriented front wing paired with a moderate rear, which is a combination built for turning rather than for easy lift, so the lines in the footage are the direct output of the gear choice. Riding apparel is BodyGlove and Batium.
Where the technique is explained
This track is the soundtrack from the “How to Carve Like a God” episode, and that is the companion piece to watch if you want the instruction rather than the result. Watch this one for the shapes, then go and learn how they are made.
