Casey, you’re magical! Stoked you got to join the GoPro Surf Team for some Texas barrel time. Looks like it’s time to drop into your next gig - Casey Neistat, pro surfer!

[@NateRisch]

When do we get to see the GoPro edit of this? I'm sure it'll be epic!

[@iaskthequestionsaroundhere2743]

Hey do you guys like chicken nuggies?

[@future-free]

Hey go pro! Do you know what go pro mounts they were using on their boards? I know you sell a suction cup version, which I’ve used with mild success, but am curious if the mounts show in the video are more secure.

[@rickywangham]

Seems like max lense n 360 cam shoot.

[@ReluctantSpirit]

a little sponsorship heavy content..i wish he could tone it down

[@TheStoryTillNow]

Dude, that car scene... Incredible.

[@brandonlanham7841]

Casey is hands down the best KZbin video editor there is. His videos and the way he films and edits them are leagues above everyone else's. He puts so much thought and time into so many shots in each video. I can't imagine the time it takes to set up your camera in so many different spots and film the shot then walk back and pick it all up and then somehow go home and make it all flow together into a seamless vid. Awesome work man.

[@vaniaelise]

He has a team 😂

[@danksbrother]

@@vaniaelise not anymore i don’t think so

[@RickDolishny]

Benefit of beting the shooter AND the editor. Or at least, "shooting for the edit". It all comes together in his mind in real time. Not many people can do it. As an editor, I know when I get footage from someone as talented as Casey that the show will be awesome!

[@Ben-fk9ey]

[@mardocheremorisset8036]

right!! had me with all the feelins' the vedio was epic

[@FranklyiDrum]

Absolutely agree 👍🏼

[@TheCoolFactor]

He literally took a major break from vlogs and now makes even better vlogs. This had so many clever shots, edits, takes, little stories. It was like 5 2018 Casey vlogs packed into one. HE IS SO BACK AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

[@plica06]

If his vlogs are better that might be because he gives himself more time to edit them since he doesn't upload daily anymore.

[@ZaneKyber]

@plica06 it's possible that he doesn't edit them himself anymore as well

[@rayalhar]

@@ZaneKyber Nah that's insane, Casey would never let someone else edit his own vlogs

[@ollieslife]

I love how Casey calls to say he’ll be late but then makes sure to stop to capture drone footage, gets in and out of buildings/cars to get the right shot and talks to the camera all whilst trying to get there on time 😂 what a legend man

[@stinky8902]

It's okay, he has a very fast car.

[@ollieslife]

@@stinky8902 well played

[@marcuswang1]

I was wondering if he did took those drone shot himself;

[@caodesignworks2407]

@@marcuswang1 So many angles and shots in public. I'm pretty sure he handles them all himself. Especially since he travels alone a lot. I mean, look at his running shots. He runs up, places the camera, hit's timer or record. Runs up to and then out of the frame only to stop, turn the camera around, and continue shooting as he runs away from the camera. I don't think anybody else is helping him with most of his shots, so either he's carrying a gopro or two around with him or he's setting up his shots before/ after his morning run. Either way, what he does with just a go pro or two is pretty amazing. Especially how he (likely intentionally) edits all of the clips together. LIke, when he's rushing to the airport, the camera is all over and there are dozens of different shots pieced together to sew a feeling of chaos. And then when things settle down a bit, it's one continuous scene. And then to the wave pool. long shots of people talking until you get to the chaos of the pool in which you get multiple shots from multiple angles, from shore, drone, board mounted, etc... I'd bet in those last scenes he had other people helping film, though. At the very least, the guy holding the camera as he surfed up and grabbed it.

[@alexiscuarezma]

@@caodesignworks2407 yes, I'm sure he does it himself too as you said. A lot of them are set up like at 3:08 to 3:20 . He's by himself. So he had to setup the camera first, then walk back and essentially act/pretend like the camera was already there and pass frame. Then walk back to pick up the camera. When he walks out of the sliding doors, he had to place the camera there first, and leave it recording. Then walk back in and act it out. That takes SO much time and effort to do. Props to him too for not giving a fuck what people think of him b/c that probably looks so weird seeing someone film themselves like that.

[@DVontayFriga]

The challenger scene after surfing was hilarious to me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cartieriustitia]

The storyline in this… killing the expectations from the beggining.. no matter where I go I’m gonna be sad.. and then he as the best trip you could ever possibly imagine 😂 full day with 5 pro surfers(and a bunch of rad techs) in a closed water park 😂😭 this men is something else !

[@jaswaggon]

This man truly boggles my mind. His ability to have an insane amount of fun and not care what people think of him is remarkable. There is no one like Casey

[@caodesignworks2407]

Seriously. There's no way in hell I'd be able to put a camera all over the plane like that to take those kinds of awkward angles of him storing his luggage and such. Like could you imagine what that looks like out of the context of this video? "I'm sorry, ma'am? Can you wait a minute, I need your seat to take this shot. Or "hey, can you hold this for a minute?"

[@SaltyChip]

I would love to see a “behind the vlog” video where another person simply follows Casey throughout a day that Casey is vlogging. I wouldn’t want Casey to talk to the cameraman but have it like the camera guy is more like a fly on the wall.

[@leaveittobaker]

I DM'd him about this exact idea 2 years ago. He never responded. I'm still holding out hope when my channel eventually grows.

[@Jesseishere]

@@leaveittobaker he made a teaching course in “monthly” as far as i remember

[@JuanOzuna]

Right?! This video especially looks like something he shot mostly on his own, which makes me imagine him simply going back and forth as he sets up a shot, places the camera, goes off camera, films himself in action, and then goes back to retrieve the camera. SOOO MUCH WORK! But it looks incredible!

[@marcosalcala9852]

That'd be fantastic. Let's get this comment upvoted haha!

[@Burt_Beebe]

I would love to see that as well..

[@ZdenkaDarula]

There are 2 parts of the video I loved the most. His wave surfing and how it was cleverly cut. I loved the shots from him and other around combined together. Last sequence of him racing to the house with animals on the side just killed me... LOVED IT... awesome video

[@AnaCunhaBusch]

I am an old woman. Life has been not easy lately, but Casey gives me so much energy to keep going on! It is such a good experience Casey, to live at the same time you also lives in this word! I feel I am blessed! Thanks a lot! Sorry I not a english speaker! Take care and see you!

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

The insane amount of work it takes to get all these shots alone and edit it is insane.

Casey has absolutely mastered the art of storytelling with tempo, music, personality, content, cinematography. So fun to watch these every week!!

[@DementedEeyore64]

[@btgm25]

Im going to be honest, I knew I missed waking up with the original vlogs that I watched almost all of them as they came out, but I didn't realise how much I had missed Casey in my life in general and the way that Casey shoots! Glad ur back Casey, keep it up!!

[@ourcalltoadventure]

This man is the reason I’m vlogging our family trip around the world. Thank you Casey, true inspiration.

[@KyleYouMadeThat]

Setting up the camera to capture the elevator door opening on the opposite side was a great example of his passive aggressive approach to life's little frustrations. He's always been great at capturing that stuff.
