Tight edits are good. A good musical choice that matches the visuals can be a powerful thing, but nothing is quite as powerful as sitting on the beach or in the lineup watching for yourself. That’s why raw footage works so well: it gives the viewer at least some semblance of what it was like on the given day. The given day in question here is November 24, 2019, and the given place is Pipe and Backdoor. The waves, as you can see, were pretty dang good.
