Since surfing was central to the first movie, the filmmakers wanted to include it again, but at a higher level.
Laird Hamilton, a pioneering big-wave surfer, contributed his skills to the shoot and also played a character in the film.
But shooting the scenes proved to be a challenge because enormous, surfable waves are rare and unpredictable.
We were looking all over the world to try to find out where those waves were going to hit and when, Mr. Core said.
A crew went to a surf break called Jaws in Maui months before principal photography began on the film.
We had to get crew ready for a break that may or may not even hit Hawaii, he said.
Luckily, enormous swells arrived. The crew ran nine cameras in the water, on cliffs and on helicopters to capture the action.
