Making A Surfboard!

[@TariqueEastman]

This style of content really does suit you in a way Nicole. Didnt feel like an Ad whatsoever it felt more like a passion film project.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :) That's always a really fun aspect that I enjoy when working with brands, is the challenge of trying to not make an 'ad' seem like an 'ad'! Really appreciate the kind comment!

[@erikvanconover]

I dig the style of this video, those boards look so fun!!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks so much Erik! Yeah, they were incredible, I wish I could have spent more time trying them out.

[@Project-Air]

Wow, Nicole, blown away by this video - the quality was amazing, from the cinematography to your presenting. Killing it! I'm very much looking forward to more.

[@NicoleEddy1]

So awesome to read this, thank you :) Jacob Dixon helped me out a lot with the filming & creative direction, he was a real legend during the shoot.

[@Project-Air]

Awesome! I'll check out Jacob Dixon's stuff next :)

[@chriscorbin4885]

Made one. A truly wonderful experience working in a magical place with inspiring people. Being part of the San Miguel Rich List is a well deserved recognition

[@jordanroberttaylor]

Incredibly professional, and very VERY well excuted. I love this video for many of reasons, but your poise and presentation along with the cinematic sequences has to be my favorite reason why this video is so professional.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Jordan :) It was awesome to take on more a higher grade type video, definitely fun to change things up every now & then.

[@mathiasbilly5202]

One of the best short film I've ever seen in my life. Thank you, Nicole, for sharing these moments with us !

love the way those wooden boards look! so sick! :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

They are so awesome hey! Would love to shape my own one day :)

[@Boringjade]

This is by far my favourite video of yours! I do love your other videos but this is on a whole other level. I love the shots of you taking to the camera but having someone hold it as opposed to you holding it or having a tripod it I just love love love it! The quality was fantastic the shots were amazing! This video gave me serious Jacksgap vibes while still being your own and it was just so incredible! Well done! 💕

[@Boringjade]

Oh and I loved the actual content of the video is self!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks so so much! Yes, Jacob was the magic man behind the camera making it look all nice, but I appreciate the awesome comment, makes me motivated to continue making more of these!

[@minimanbruton]

I agree with everyone in these comments. Whether it's your style or not, it really does match the setting, the surf and the content you made here. Explore some more, this was a great video!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Philip! Yeah, I actually preferred the more 'presenter' type vibe to be honest, so it was fun to play around with different video styles :) Appreciate the comment.

[@ItsReallyRomaan1]

This was amazing Nicole. Just like I've seen other comments make, it does not feel like an ad what so ever. Such pure, organic passion shun through this video. Thank you for the great video - looking forward to more :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

So glad to hear that, thanks Romaan :) Really appreciate the kind comment & it's comments like yours that definitely make me want to keep at it!

[@CheEsenAt0r]

Loved this video so much. You are an inspiration to me Nicole. The way you just live out your passions and doing what you love.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you Zelda, that means a lot that I can help inspire, it's more than I thought that I could ever do :) x

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

Nicole, you should do more of this type of thing, fantastic presentation...and that's not just because I'm a fellow Capetonian!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Mike :) Yeah, I actually really enjoyed this type of video. Hopefully I can slot more of them in between my vlogs.

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

Look forward to it!

[@livenowmediapro]

This is such a beautiful video Nicole!!

[@grahamarthur]

Beautifully done 😎

[@mike-wyant]

This is awesome. Love the chill vibe! Kinda made me sleepy... haha

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :)

[@Batou4074]

Amazing video with a great shaper !

[@Robinq21]

What an awesome and inspiring little film Nicole - as many others have said, this style of film seems really natural and really suits you! Also as a Brit living abroad (Swiss Alps) with strong family connections in Cornwall, it was a lovely little reminder of home too! Keep it up!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Robin! Yes, I feel like I stumbled upon a British piece of paradise so I cannot wait to go back & explore Cornwall some more.

[@TheReaperGT]

I trully love this format.. keep those coming... you are awesome.

[@NicoleEddy1]

So glad to hear it :) I can't wait to shoot something similar again in between the vlogs!

[@TheReaperGT]

Next time you come to Brazil, visit the south. I work with the biggest Kayak maker in the world and if you come to Brazil we can make something happen. Have a great week.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you, that sounds like fun!

[@archieologic]

Now I want to make a wood board! Thanks for sharing this, Nicole! I think this style of shooting fits you! Keep it up!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Archie, hopefully more of this style to come between the vlogs!

[@Rikaanderson]

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Hanna :) Yes, this was a bit of a passion project so it was great to be able to get the opportunity to share it. x

[@jamesj4998]

Amazing video Nicole!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks James :)

[@magicnik8881]

Its great! Thank you very much Nicole! :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks for watching :)

[@JordanBryantNZ]

Got the hairs standing up on the arms watching this Nicole. You NAILED THIS #ad, be proud. Can't believe that was your first surf in the UK though haha.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Yoh, thank you so much! I think standing up arm hairs is one of the best compliments, so I'm super happy that this video could give you that type of feeling!

[@hispid1]

Seriously nicely done Nicole! Very polished and am loving the style. Might even go find me a wooden board ;-)

[@NicoleEddy1]

They are beautiful aren't they?! Thanks Mark :)

[@oliviac5792]

what an AMAZING video!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :) x

[@Eruvadhor]

This was great, cracking job Nicole and Jacob!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Dan :)

[@nellennatea]

I been to Porthtowan Beach. Nice beach. Great video. The surf boards look great.

[@Itsghostdotcom]

First of all love the videos 👌, especially this one. Missing those california waves.

[@ginamcclifty5851]

THIS WAS UNREAL. The maddest of all mad love, Nicole! Keep up the awesome work! :D

[@NicoleEddy1]

Ah, thanks Gina you legend :)

[@mikhaellar]

Execution and presentation are 🔥! Amazing job! :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :)

[@xplasticbag]

This is wonderful, good work! Really loved watching this :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you & for your lovely comment :)

[@Sean_Twomey]

Awesome video! Love watching fellow South African KZbinrs and vloggers. So glad I found you via Peter McKinnon. It's on my action list to surf a wooden board. Love the idea of more sustainable and eco-friendly surf crafts.

[@peterhabel]

Really love this video Nicole!

[@Infuri96]

Love it!

[@alexandral1842]

love these videos!!

[@mrgianjgemig]

This is so good Nicole!!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you!

[@DanielRademeyer]

Awesome, welldone on this one Nicole!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Daniel :)

[@prmartin7259]

Beautifully done video. 🏄👍👏😁😀

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks so much :)

[@simstash9889]

I hope to see more with this sort of content Nicole. It may have been an ad but the way it was put together I really feel I got more out of it. :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you, & I'm so glad that it didn't feel like an 'ad' for you, this was essentially something that I am passionate about so my job was easy enough :)

[@simstash9889]

Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it right :)

[@SonaUniverse]

Beautiful! I really need to check this place out, thanks a lot! I love surfing in the UK - it has something very special to it! How heavy are the boards and how buoyant are they?

[@NicoleEddy1]

Porthtowan honestly took my breath away, it was so so beautiful :) The boards are quite a bit heavier than normal foam boards obviously, I'm not sure the exact weight of the one that I rode but the buoyancy is very similar to a normal board. It's all in proportion to the weight I guess.

[@SonaUniverse]

Thanks for the info! I love that side of the country but haven't yet been to Porthtowan yet - so defo going to check it out. Lots of great surfing spots in the UK - some of the most underrated in the world =) Check out Saunton Sands for Longboarding and Croyde for Shortboarding if you're ever in Devon (there is little Surf Museum in Braunton which is super cute as well and they serve the best Cream Tea at Sandleigh in Croyde). Also if the swell is right and there is not too much wind, Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight can be pumping and the IoW is just stunning! If you pick the right time, Bournemouth can be fun and even Brighton gets decent waves a few times a year if you're lucky =P - I presume people just can't stand the cold =P

[@DanGalla]

Something so cool and tranquil about this video. Could watch it again. Great work! How was the water here?

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Dan :) The water was beautiful actually, really clear & really warm compared to back at home!

[@cameronwoolnough4937]

One of your best video's !! Amazing story :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :)

[@MADTASS]

Nicole, you have such a career ahead of you, this Vid was great. I live in Cornwall and that Water is starting to get a little Frigid this time of year, time for Winter Suit me thinks.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :) And it's summer in Cape Town which also means layering up with warm gear due to the thumping wind. Actually, the water temperature over there was glorious compared to back at home!

[@aliya7455]

love love love!

[@BSLKB]

Life is good......thanks for the vids they are terrific

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you for watching :)

[@lemondaveee4982]

i love this nicole!!!! 👏really cool

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :)

[@STOPJABBAINGON]

Great bit of storytelling Nicole.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Simon :) I hope that you're well!

[@STOPJABBAINGON]

All grand up here, all be it a tad colder than your neck of the woods right now. Currently in Slovakia, and it's snowing :-)

[@hellsbells18]

Yet another great vlog. Well done very interesting and filming was lovely too. Keep up the good work

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Helen :)

[@danmurray7907]

Such an awesome video Nicole! I went to Porthtowan nearly two years ago now, this brought back so many memories 😦👍

[@NicoleEddy1]

Ah, I can't wait to go back already! Thanks so much :)

[@ellacbeeful]

love this video and this style of content

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Great video! Brave to hit that cold uk surf!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Surprisingly...it was SO much warmer than Cape Town. I think it's just the UK outside air temperature that makes the difference but the water was glorious :)

[@SheWhoDaresWins]

Nicole Eddy ah nice! Might venture in next time I’m down, get a few surf lessons under the belt

[@FYImynameishoward]

I would love to know what the poem is that's written inside the surfboards. You can see some of it at 04:06

[@NicoleEddy1]

I wish that I had taken a clearer picture of it, but it might be on Otter Surfboards website (links are in the bio).

[@charlied7899]

Amazing video really inspiring and love your videos and photos you have really inspired me to get out there and film and take photos so thanks so much

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Charlie, that's awesome news! Keep up the photography :)

[@Grahamcracker6366]

Fascinating.

[@JustusRudolfFilms]

incredible video!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you!

[@Take_Nine_Studio]

Loved this video Nicole!! Great work! :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Leah :)

[@Barry_Fink]

Great video Nicole, I really wouldn't call it an ad It just seems like something you're passionate about and that really comes across in the video! I hope to see more of these creative sponsored videos from you, as long as you don't start trying to peddle BooTea to us 😂. I'm not in to surfing but I can really appreciate the mastery that goes into it, keep up the amazing work 🔥

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Jack :) Yeah, I guess that I was super lucky that it was something that I am passionate about, so I guess it bordered onto more of a passion project! Cheers for the awesome comment.

[@Robert-yv8ie]

amazing work and video, thank you :)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you for your comment :)

[@GrowthGuided]

What an amazing week that would be to make your own wave rider! Ben Brown = talent

[@NicoleEddy1]

Definitely, I'd love to do the week-long surf shaping course with James someday. I'm not sure what the 'Ben Brown = talent' has to do with this video though? :)

[@GrowthGuided]

Nicole Eddy I presume he shot this video, No?

[@NicoleEddy1]

It was my friend Jacob Dixon who shot & directed it, his links are in the description :)

[@ExploringTheUnknown1]

AWESOME VIDEO, LOVED IT

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :) x

[@ExploringTheUnknown1]

Nicole Eddy You're welcome 😁. Please do more videos like this.

[@jhole14]

Best #ad ever

[@NicoleEddy1]

That's the best feedback I could ask for, haha :)

[@ИванБабушкин-с4ф]

Great release. Greetings from Russia!!!

[@zeromiles2empty]

that was cool!

[@JustTex]

wow your like a professional host/presenter. Well done. Cheers.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Haha, little more practice but thank you :)

[@leetipton]

A refreshingly different kinda video. Seriously though, the UK struggles to compare to the Western Cape surf, but nice to see that you have put yourself in a situation that you try the surf in the UK.

[@NicoleEddy1]

I actually can't wait to come back & mission down the coast, the water is warmer than Cape Town too (& less sharky) but it was great to change up the surf scenery!

[@leetipton]

Nicole Eddy It’s nice to see you trying the UK surf. Cornwall is a beautiful part of the country for surf, sunshine ☀️ (when it decides to show itself). Maybe if you have time you could try Fistral beech. It has a fond place in my heart from when I was younger. It’s great for surfing. I’ve have also surfed off the western cape and yes the water here is warmer. I also have a deep respect and love for SA. I used to work to run a business in the UK for an SA company and it took me to SA many times. Looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks for replying.

[@alastairweldon1658]

I've got two of these boards, they're so good, Nicole if you get the chance to buy one of them do it there best longboards I've ever surfed

[@kenzie-anne]

love
