There’s nothing quite as exciting as shooting out the end of a huge barrel, though it can feel pretty lame when nobody was there to see you do it.

That is exactly why we wanted to put this little GoPro guide together to make sure you get some seriously professional shots when ripping at your local spot. Let’s take our GoPro camerass surfing!
