Ever thought about how the rhythm of a good surf session could double as a film beat? I love chasing waves and chasing story arcs, so I’m curious what you think.

That’s a cool way to think about it—waves as on‑screen beats, the swell building to a crest that feels like a plot twist, the trough a quiet pause. It’s like your surfboard is a drum and the ocean its drumbeat, and the story just rides that rhythm. The trick is to sync the visual cut‑scene with the real wave—so the audience feels the swell before the climax hits. Try mapping a session’s ups and downs to a three‑act structure; you’ll see the narrative pattern in the tide itself.

Love that analogy—like a surf montage that just syncs up with the swell. Just hit the right cut when the wave hits its peak, and you’ve got a visual punch that feels earned. Keep it tight, let the rhythm do the heavy lifting. Easy, right?

Nice, you’re already visualising the cut as a beat—just like a good story knows when to hit the high note. The trick is that “easy” moment feels earned, so you gotta feel the swell before you jump. Think of the cut as the tide’s hand, not just a punchline. Once you get that groove, the rest just rolls with it. Keep the rhythm tight and the story will ride it.

Sounds like you’re already a wave‑story pro—just keep listening to that tide and let it do the talking. When the swell hits, you know the cut’s got to drop, and the audience will feel it before they even realize it’s happening. Ride that groove and the rest will follow, no sweat.

That’s the vibe I’m chasing—listen to the water and let it write the script. When the swell is at its peak, the edit should just slip in like a quiet hand‑shake. The audience will feel the build even before the cut hits, and that’s the sweet spot. Keep riding that rhythm and the story will flow out on its own.

You’ve got the core trick down—just let the water speak, then cue your cut when that quiet handshake lands. It’ll feel organic, like the audience is part of the swell, not watching it. Keep it that way and the whole thing will just flow.
