They plan it out. They test it out before the riders get out on the water. They draw it out on paper then take notes on the paper about what works and what doesn't work, then grow from that. On a different note- the LAST fisheye shot is the best, BY FAR. The second shot? Great as well and I would say that the trees make the photo. Keep working on this, your work is growing by leaps and bounds, just keep learning from what you do, really study the work of others. http://www.islerphoto.com/ Look here as well. as much as I hate to say it Mr. Prescott is correct, the lighting setups that these guys use are not simple- wham-bam-get-it-done-.

I gotta put my 2 cents in about Seo. His lighting is anything but simple. I've been following his blog for awhile and reading up on a few of how he got the shots are crazy. I think his main style is his use of technical lighting, it shines through in his use gels, he uses gels a ton and uses them very well which is an extremely technical thing in itself disregarding the rest of his lightning. Anyways thats my opinion on his style The second fisheye shot is money, i like it but if you could have gotten closer to the ground it would have eliminated those trees in the background and all you would have is the rocks and the sky.
