Surfing in Pua'ena + Drone CRASH!

Went out to Pua'ena in Hale'iwa on the north shore of Hawaii to get some more practice with my new DJI Mavic Air. When I'm flying over the water, I am extremely careful. Crashing it in the water would be BADDD. But when I got it back over land, I was trying some more complex maneuvers. As I was panning around a tree to try to capture some fancy light leaks and beautiful views of the beach, I got distracted and flew it right into another tree. It landed in the middle of some thick bushes/weeds that were filled with spiders and who knows what other creatures. Luckily, the drone landed on its feet and with the camera facing me, so I walked around until I saw my shadow in the camera. Once I recovered the drone, I dusted it off and it still flew like a champion. Good for you, DJI!
