Imo under the new regulation (from 2021) this could actually be completely legal without any waivers depending on where was the pilot, if there was a spotter (very likely) and if the surfers can be considered involved persons (notified and consented etc.). Under my current local rules (not Portugal) this would require to be a certified pilot (theory + practical exam, although if you do this commercially it is a must anyway) and a risk assessment submitted to Civil Aviation Agency.

P.S. I believe the first shot of the video wouldn't fall under any regulation as it is not using airspace.
