You aussies are a bit gnarly! Dry reef, sharky, cold water and unpredictably shaped slabs. Better viewed from youtube! 🤣 Awesome to hear humility out of everyone too. Ego checked at the door! Wonderful video. 🤙🤙

That may be one of those days where I get there, see the nightmare gauntlet, and suddenly my old back injury starts to flair up! I’d be like” I’m so angry I can’t paddle out but at least I can get good footage of everyone else!

If you think this is dangerous, ever heard of shipsterns bluff?

@stefimcmaster1323

Don't know if you can say that without knowing the bottom contours/depth, but yer I can't believe shipsturns is an aussie baseline. Like possibly the most intimidating wave in the world, I'd not definitley top 5.

Cold water? Never would have guessed that.

The south coast of NSW and VIC is slab heaven... there is so many almost unridden slabs on this stretch .. some you can walk to but many are jet ski or boat only access.. we surfed these slabs way back in the 80s and 90s off a boat using the tinny 60hp to skurf into them before social media phone's etc.. we even shaped boards specially for tow in. I dislocated my shoulder . I bashed my body on the reef.. lucky to be alive.. I lived in Coffs Harbour then and we would drive all the way down to the south coast and follow it up back to Coffs... the Coffs Harbour area has more bommie slabs than actual shore slabs but they are just as brutal..and satisfying.. I don't surf anymore... been there done that cause I'm old but now I chase extreme fishing fishing spots ... fly fishing for big permit on offshore flats off the central QLD coast etc.. I love watching the young guys charge these slabs.. brings back so many memories.. camping on the headland.. a few scoops.. and fkn out there.. Go the Boyz.. love it..

Tim Bonython is an absolute legend. My god, I’ve loved the ocean since the mid nineties and this man has been bringing me joy for at least that long. LEGEND!

When Tim first started surf photography he had a Super 8 camera and a water proof housing and he used to film us at Pondalowie Bay, South Australia at the main break in the late 70's. In those days you had to wait weeks to get your film processed and then use a Super 8 Projector that usually mangled your film, He was an Adelaide boy. Wonder if he still has that footage? And I daresay he now films exponentially better surfers than we were. (though we thought we were okay ha ha) Kudos to him he's a legend of the industry now.

@@markthomas7132 Interesting Mark. Tim should be awarded for his innovativeness - hall of fame like Pricket, has he or does one have to incur a debilitating injury to get gold stars?? Grew up with his Keiki boogie footage. I have no doubt he made the skid kids

Really enjoying the blend of interviews with locals alongside the excellent footage of the waves and surfers. Thanks for all of the effort you are putting into this.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the interviews and boys’ descriptions of the experience. Well done fellas 👏👏👏

Im from Cape Town so used to rocky but not a chance i surf this size when its rocky,mad respect for you lads.

Another classic video, thanks so much for posting. I imagine you are living my dream...hanging out with the crew, catching a few waves, towing or taking pics/vids of the others, having a beer & a mack grind afterwards. Oh, and the names of the spots: Lunacy, Cape Fear, Cyclops, etc. I wish surfers could have traveled with the original cartographers, people would still be using the original maps. That's the whole point of a secret spot. Even the name is a secret. Thanks for keeping this old man happy !!

Love the boogie attitude so proud to be a booger. epic work mate thanks for putting together epic videos.

I love being a booger as boogers we are trailblazers for just looking at a slab and sayin fk it,....we can ride that.😂🤙

I love the comments... So fkn Aussie.. Blase as.. sliding into a wave of consequence and brushing off fear... it's called COURAGE .. guys... So much respect.. we have it .. we love it..♥️

Excellent format, storyline, and cinematography. I really liked how you showed the consequences of getting washed in. Really adds to the drama.

legends. This is surfing, wave riding & THIS is bodyboarding at its highest level, the art of the scoop on that 42in of foam is a technique that almost no one can master except blokes like these, & at the same time is the most underrated technique in waveriding outside perhaps bodysurfing tube riding. Super SICK CONTENT. thank YOU for showcasing the best wave riders in the world with no B.S. just pure action, stoke & excellane on display.

I love the fearlessness and water skills of the Aussie surfers! Legends!

Wow! Mad respect for all those surfers and boogie boarders charging it.... that's heavy surf

Luna park boogs been holding it down for decades

Good lord not a chance I’d ever paddle into that ever. Insane.

Huge respect. Those folks catching a cheese grating were so cool in that situation jeeez. So so heavy

Yeah brah!! Heavy as it gets..... Lovin it!!: Charge On Crew!

Kudos. Fuck the ocean's amazing. I loved watching the footage of boys getting washed over the rocks. Shows the power and challenges and consequences thats involved in surfing especially waves like this. Something that only surfers know and understand. Respect

My kind of “Aussies,” tough as nails, and chill at the same time.

One of your best vids Tim, pretty sure you've saved a couple of lives in advance by sharing this...that's if people will do their research...

Absolutely gorgeous Tim! From the landscape to the seabreak; fabulous video, very well done. Thank you!

Paddled it a few times in the early '70's, wasn't my first choice but my mate loved it on his kneeboard. As he said you really have to pick your wave and commit, great video Tim, bought back a few memories of some good waves and some utter poundings.

I’m a West Aussie and I’ll be the first to say ... that looks very heavy. Outright scary. The paddle out looks like a deal breaker for me these days. Hats off to the boys out there having a crack 👍🏼

The scenery and particularly the changing colors of the water / waves are absolutely gorgeous. Some of the most beautiful water I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

Uh-oh… those damn rocks…. This is pure lunacy.

This piece of film is official award worthy

Great production. Many thanks. Humongous kahuna's!!!

That guy paddling in!! Geez!! Super impressed!! Total commitment!!

Good one Tim. After that disaster at the Cape good to see Kipp on the move. 💯🇦🇺

The bodyboarder on the red board was killing it!

My god, you would have to be an Apostle to make that wave. Legendary.

Nice one, Tim... appreciate your swell chasing efforts. That end section takes no prisoners, eh? Solid AF.

Pioneers of absolute chaos. Nothing but massive respect to those chargers out there. Pure and utter madness and a joy to watch ✌️

Wow Tim, you really get out and about mate, you’re an inspiration!!!

Thanks great footage, know this area, serious power. much respect to take this place on.

great short film. Always loved Tim's work

What an amazing wave! Pretty awesome landscape & great insight from the locals! Keep these great clips coming!!!

The boils all along the break show just how shallow it is... A real balls-an-all wave. Respect!

Veryy nice film Tim ! What a crazy spot !!

Wow. Those sunset coastline shots are epic.

Fantastic edit, thanks Tim👍

So good to finally have your excellent camera work without excessive slow motion.

You mate are the biggest legend, I adore your content. Thankyou

Amazing vid once more. Allowing the Surfers to comment Just creating a cool Story... Top noch music choice

Me seeing the amazing waves gotta keep myself over I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background.

Incredible footage!

I surfed that I would sit in the channel for 3 or 4 days just watching what works what doesn't. I had a shallow slab I loved heaps but wasn't as big as this but heaps fun. Claimed 2 boards and 2 fins. Clipped on the last section.

Those shots around 9:40 are majestic and to see that alone would make the adventure worth it. I think I would sit those wave out and enjoy the incredible views. Thanks for going there for me..

Thank you for sharing...this video... is going to stick in my mind, soul, and sphincter muscle far into the next galaxy! Homage to these Hombre's...!!! ✍️)))

Well done! Joy to watch.

maybe my favourite clip from your channel! nice!

Geez mate you're head and shoulders above anybody else doing this stuff,I just love it ,thanks.

Sick music...great footage...well done....

Awesome commentary/ footage and in general- so much details..what's the musical selection starting...💎🌿🌐🌿💎

Seriously great video 🌊 All round fantastic production. Respect to anyone who even goes in the water there. Hard core.

yeah, nah. respect to the maniacs taking this on! amazing stretch of coast for sure

Wow! That was an epic edit Tim. Good stuff!

sooooo damn good!!! great work SV!........yeeeew!

Great STUFF!! Really entertaining

Great film and soundtrack to match. Peace.

Amazing!

Love your vids Tim.

It reminds me of Riley's wave in Ireland. A big reef and there's no forgiveness... Nature never forgives...

Great video, enjoyed watching from safety. Lunacy says it all

Very interesting wave thank you!

fantastic film

Definitely daunting! Be careful out there, swellchasers 💙🏆

Thanks for the upload! howzit from South Africa!

Epic stuff

Just nuts. Captured perfectly 😎👍🏻👍🏻

This is so GNARLY !!! ❤️🇺🇸🎥🔥

Thanks Tim, ya never fail to disappoint. awesome trip

Nice one Tim. Brave dudes but I think this beastly wave definately warrants a helmet.

That whole coast looks unfriendly, damn!

that wave is so sick

Very good lil movie

That's raw dedication Tim , 24hour hours driving. Such a sick wave 👋

If you haven’t been to this part of the world it’s hard to imagine just how gnarly and remote feeling it is. Gives off a real edge of the world vibe

They should call the place "3Balls and a Pray." Good show boys!

So heavy 🤙

Looks really sharky!

So sick

Beautiful sport

Amazing amazing 🔥❗❗🔥🔥❤️✊❤️❤️❤️🤯🤯

Always invited to Nazaré.. 😄👍

AHHH - THE BEST!

I think it is "the scariest reef slab break". Wicked
