I donât wear heels anymore but those are pretty blocky and should be stable. The tough part is the stockings combined with the lack of a heel strap. Your toes would be working overtime trying to keep enough pressure against the front strap to keep the shoes on your feet when walking. The stockings reduce friction/inside grip.
What I'm stuck on is how do you get her on the board while also completely and perfectly dry? There's some clever trickery somewhere, either with a practical effect or with a camera effect and whichever it is it was executed perfectly
After looking at the rest: Looks real, but still maybe there's postproduction work, I dunno, she's amazingly good in the ones where it's obvious that she's really doing it all.
She's surfing on the wake from a boat. She gets on the board while holding the boat for balance, boat starts going forward and she's moved with it until she can let the wake catch up. *pure speculation on my part*
Years ago I was the bad guy because I wakeboarded. Our boat, our activity, was not welcome.

Nevermind the bags and the heels....she is perfectly dry. That is what wrinkles the brain.

Me wifey thinks this is in front of a green screen. I am like mounded, and want to believe. Anyone know the truth?
Alango10
It's gotta be, there's no sign of wind. The boat would need to be going pretty fast to make that kind of wake.

She has some scenes that didn't end so good: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJGDXcwL/

Yeah but many of her videos obvious green screen, some her hair doesn't blow at all and you can see her hair cut in and out.
realizedagain
Which ones? Everything I've seen seems legit. She's definitely a good enough wakeboarder to do this.
Broken08
I wake surf, it looks perfectly real to me

IF it's CGI then it's fucking perfect.

Not really, her hair is not moving.

It would probably be easier to do this in reality than on a green screen.

Huge slam on wake surfers out of nowhere.

To be clear, fuck wake surfers who use a powered boat, like this, wake surfers who surf standing waves and river wakes are awesome.
