These amazing videos show you the power of drones to capture popular action sports from a brand new perspective. Camera drones now allow waterskiiers, wake surfers, and wakeboarders to be filmed from the air rather than from the boat that is pulling them, or from the shore. The results are spectacular as you will see in these videos. Aerial photo: "Water Skiing Behind the Spray" by AirVuz content creator brianthron.

If flying a first person view (FPV) racing quad over water was one of the first frontier in FPV, over-water flight while filming a wakeboarding must be the sixth or seventh. And if there is anyone who can unlock the power of FPV drones to film an epic wakeboarding session, it's the legendary pilot JohnnyFPV. The two-time Drone Video Award winner and Instagram phenom was able to shoot this amazing FPV video was shot on the waters around Miami, Florida, an area known to all kinds of water sports activity.

Ryan's trip to the Turks & Caicos would not have been complete without some wakeboarding, and not just any run-of-the-mill tourist wakeboarding. No surprise then that some epic flips are involved, that's just par for the course. If you're going to capture this on a drone though, a new stunt beckons. Who says that the wakeboarder and the drone pilot have to be two different people? Not Ryan, that's for sure. See it here to believe it.

No, the title of this video is not a misprint. Contributor Torsteintuhaug used a DJI Phantom 4 to film a very brave wakeboarder hitting a fjord in Norway. It goes without saying that the boarder wore a wetsuit, but still, Norway? It doesn't matter what time of year this was taken, that water is COLD. If they didn't have a drone to record this craziness for posterity, who would have believed them?

Using a drone to film a waterskier is tricky, especially if the skier is operating within a wide arc. One way to deal with this is to use multiple drones. Contributor Elliotteiden did just that to make this epic edit of pro waterskier Corey Seamann. The video was produced using footage taken by a DJI Phantom 3 drone operating in tandem with a Mavic Pro model, then stitched together in post-production.

NurkFPV has shown that he is not afraid of putting his first person view (FPV) quads in harm's way. It's no surprise then that he and his wakeboarder bud, Randy Kizer, took some freestyle risks in the filming of this crazy good drone video. Flying a racing quad over water and allowing your buddy to chase you with a set of (sharp enough!) blades can be tricky biz. Nonetheless, these guys manage to pull through the good fun with an action-packed FPV vid you just have to watch for yourself!

If you think a waterskiing team is just a collection of people who take individual runs, think again. Contributor Matt Rafferty used a drone to film the Waterhawks waterskiing team, cutting up a lake in Iowa (in the central USA) very much as a team. As in, all getting pulled together. By a boat with a serious motor. You really have to take this in from a drone to believe it.
