Surf Surf — a stroll turns into a wave ride.
Surf Surf turns a casual walk into a surf ride. The sample opens on a smiling young woman with a blonde ponytail in a white crop top, white pleated skirt and white trainers, walking beside a clay tennis court. Water sprays at her feet, a white board appears, and a turquoise wave carries her away.
The sample
What happens in the Surf Surf sample.
The first three frames show a young woman with a blonde ponytail walking toward the camera beside an orange clay tennis court, with tall white apartment blocks and trees behind her. She wears a white crop top, a white pleated skirt, white wristbands, white socks and trainers. In the fourth frame water sprays up around her feet. She then spreads her arms for balance on a white board as spray rises. In the last frames a turquoise wave curls up, the court disappears, and she surfs through white foam.
Her outfit, ponytail and smile stay the same from the walk to the wave. The buildings and blue sky stay in view above the water, even as the court and path vanish beneath it. The camera moves back and lower to take in the wave. The sample begins with one person walking toward the camera, seen full length with open ground around her, and a photo of that kind is a sound choice.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Full length, feet in view
The wave starts at the woman's feet in the sample. Use a full-body photo with the feet in view.
Open ground around you
The sample opens on a wide path next to an empty court. A photo with open ground around the subject is closest.
Walking toward the camera
The woman in the sample is walking toward the lens when the water arrives. A photo taken mid-step is a close match.

Surf Surf, answered.
What does the Surf Surf effect do?
A young woman in white tennis clothes walks beside a clay court when water sprays up, a board appears under her feet and she surfs a turquoise wave past the buildings.
Where does the wave come from in Surf Surf?
In the sample, the wave rises from the ground itself. The woman walks beside a clay tennis court, then water sprays up at her feet, a white board appears under her and the path and court give way to a turquoise wave. The buildings and sky stay in the background. It works from one photo.
How much does Surf Surf cost?
5–10 credits per run: 5 credits (~$2.00) at the default length and resolution, more for a longer or sharper clip (5 credits at 5s · 10 credits at 10s).
