To prove once and for all that everything looks better from above, sit back and enjoy this great little clip from last week’s City Surf Series race in Auckland, New Zealand.

The long-running series, which holds a race almost every Thursday from November to March each year, hosted a special ‘Ultimate Paddle Day’ for its 13th and final event of the summer. As the name suggests, the City Surf Series partnered with the Ultimate Waterman for the special season-finale.

Watch above and enjoy, and follow City Surf Series on Facebook for more.
