Although it may seem like an easy task to capture these viral moment's like we see at places like Haulover inlet and many other dangers inlets it takes a lot of planing and a lot of luck to be in the right place at the right time. Generally if its a nice day out capturing boats passing though is no issue but if you want to catch them flying through gnarly waves thats where things start to get a little trickier. Here on the east coast the best time to be filming is with an east wind and an out going tied. Chance are if you've seen boats catching big air those were the conditions. Of course with added winds on the technical side of things we now have to make sure that we can still capture quality audio and keep our equipment out of the salt spray.
Even with all the technical challenges we love being out filming by the water no mater what the conditions are!
Many of the well established channels like Wavy Boats will pay staff to sit at the inlet all day in hopes of capturing those viral moments. Here at Coastal boating we are still in the infant stages of building our channel but we do plan to expand and start bringing on staff. If you live in an area close to an area with crazy boating action send us a message and will see if its something we can add into our rotation!
