Lord of Water The Edit

A Best Mates Story

Chapter 8 - The Edit

The following day was a complete editing fest. Jimmy was adamant that the barrel opened up under my influence. “You are like the Master of Water Bro!”

I could see it and knew that I can do this. But I just kept giving Jimmy the “Come on buddy. It’s just what the wave does.” “We surf mate. This is what we do. Yeh!”

We compiled and cut back and slow moed and compiled sequence shots to all blend in. Then we both looked up at each other in a simultaneous realisation. This is what it’s all about mate. We are taking pure crazy fun and compiling it not only for ourselves, but for everyone else to enjoy and to be inspired by.

There is nothing that comes close to having crazy fun in the surf like that.

“Just playing on the free energy of the universe mate.” Spoke Jimmy.

“I know right. This is as close as it gets to being dolphins playing around all day. But even better, we get to put it all together and see how it looks in reply.”

“Yeh!” cried Jimmy and we both just laughed even harder. 

“This is what it is all about mate. Taking on the action that then getting together afterwards and talking about how good it all what . I think that it is better than the real thing. The surf is totally the best. But getting together and talking it up, even years later is way more fun. We can just turn up the volume and make it tens times better that it really was right. And the video and photos seem to make it just as good. Little bit of slow mo and cool music.”

“Imagine when we are old fella mate. We are gonna be so old that we are riding old mals or something.” said Jimmy.

“Then we are gonna get out the old videos and check out how good we were.”

Jimmy snickered “But. what are we gonna call this one mate. Mr Crappy Lord takes on the North End?”

“Why not. I like it. Mr Crappy Lord. North End Barrels. Having the crappiest time of our lives.”

“This is how we get the attention. People love good content. Great adventure. Heaps of crazy action. Then we are able to get our message in. I think that a ratio of about 3:1. Awesome crazy fun and adventure. Then slip in just enough truth to make the effect that are going for.”

“We’re best mates forever Jimmy. No matter what, we look out for each other buddy. No one can steal that away from us.
