Wrightsville Beach Sharks! ParaVlog: 004 - Ever Wonder What's in the Water?

Ever wonder what's swimming around you at Wrightsville Beach?! From schools of 40+ sharks and stealthy stingrays with 6-foot wingspans to civil war shipwrecks just beyond the breakers, I have lived here my whole life and had no idea just how much stuff was lurking beneath the usually murky waves. An aerial perspective and the crystal clear waters we have had recently bring it all into view. By far the raddest flight I have had yet! Enjoy the views!

Shout out to Andrew Rork for sharing the drone footage!

[@dutchmango92]

Saw you fly over this past weekend. I said to my self i bet he sees so many sharks right beside us. i was right lol

[@daniels2848]

Dude as someone who had lived in WB and Wilmington for 9 years, and can’t wait to get back this video is awesome. Watched it twice today. The Sharks are always there - but this made me homesick as hell. Great job

[@makeSURFmake]

Daniel Stewart thanks man! I know how you feel. I lived in Charlotte for about 5 years before getting the chance to move back about a year ago. This place rocks!

[@daniels2848]

Right on man, I actually just came back to this video today, hahaha I did move back in April

[@nickmorris1771]

Dude I see you all the time over crystal pier

[@POVskimboarding]

I surf the south end all the time...... I always know there are sharks around me, but good to know there are more sharks down North and less down South.

Amazing footage! Great job catching the beauty of the Wrighstville Beach area!

[@sirgeoh]

You are so awesome. I love your excitement!

[@Andy-oh9zs]

That is awesome "J"!! Hope to see you kiting soon!!!

[@milesincrowley]

Nice edit! I'd liked to see more on your transport mount. Is that something you bought or fabricated?

[@makeSURFmake]

I built it. When I fly at Wrightsville I need to walk way down the beach so having a set of wheels comes in handy!

[@brod5352]

Really Nice Vid. That is a lot of sea life for sure! I've heard about the waters and the currents off NC beaches. You using a Hero 6? Just curious.

[@makeSURFmake]

This vid was shot with a hero 5 session. I love it!

[@dewalt5519]

Did you teach yourself how to fly that thing or did you have a mentor? That looks so bad ass, but scary as hell..

[@dewalt5519]

Also can you give me any tips on moving to town? I'm leaving the Outer Banks on 4/31 for down there.. Having a hard time finding a place, I've never been there.

[@GoldwngRider]

I live in New Bern, but work in Wilmington daily, and would love to fly that area, looks like your launching around Shell Island resort?

[@makeSURFmake]

Yup. The town ordinance prohibits flying below 500ft over the town of Wrightsville Beach. If you look at a GIS map, the town limits end just North of the shell island resort and the rest of the beach (all the way to Figure Eight) is technically New Hanover County. I usually launch well north of the resort so I dont push anyone's buttons and stay offshore when flying down the beach as well as circle out around the piers instead of flying over them. There was a guy that got a few tickets last year for breaking the rules so play it safe.

[@kora_z336]

can u go from Wrightsville to Carolina beach with that amount of gas or is that too far, I think that might be cool, but could be dangerous if ur engine gives out
