Watch: Tim Bonython // Shipsterns
There he was, crouched in his pokey editing room, sweating on a deadline for his latest feature film, and this damn swell reared its head down south.
It would be easy to ignore, for normal people, but wherever big waves break Tim Bonython must be within filming distance.
And so he escaped the room, caught an Uber, fought the crowds to get on a plane, then lugged all his camera gear to the base of Shippies just as the ledge started to stir.

So true.
Clips like this are a long way from the soundtrack quality of movies like Gripping Stuff.
+ 1 regarding the music , bloody woeful !
Amazing footage, the water shots at the end were great & provided a perspective I’ve never seen before.
The sound track was like walking into Sportsgirl.
I don't mind the toons @ Sportsgirl myself. I'm a fan of the Tania Floral Jaquard Knit Sweater. They have an easy returns policy too. Win / win.

P.S. got my tix for the Big Wave Project. Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Hope the music has been wisely chosen.
Great choice!
A Sportsgirl Barina would be a great surf wagon.
Beep beep.
Absolute top notch Tim
Some are very, very good out there. Others struggle a little more. Interesting to so clearly see the difference in this video.
Does everybody boat/ski in now? No more hiking?
Not so clear to me IB. Every wave is different there, even in those conditions which are the best I’ve seen.
Wave selection crucial, but you wouldn’t know whether you’d picked the right one till half way down the face.
Loved the raw waves played at normal speed when you can here the guys in the channel hooting every ride.
Music was grating to the ear holes as per. So couldn’t last the whole clip.
It's always the best footage, zoomed out, raw sound, no aids slowmo.
Ha ha, the foam ball wash back that hits him in the side of the head would probably knock me out.
Kipp Caddy getting around. Makes the impossibly heavy look pretty cruisey.
Nat Florence chose his waves well, but all of them are class acts in my book.
Awesome surfing and filming, awful music. I’d be hesitant to go see one of his films on the big screen if he throws that shit up as the soundtrack.
The needessentials crew with Headland as their soundtracks have shown just how good it can be to have a quality soundtrack to good surfing.
Sooo what do you think, did the fella with the flaming mullet get any crays or curls?
Death defying !
:-0
Marty , Dane Woods and the crayfish ranga dominated that sesh. For sure.
Such a good edit. i like the Nutronic track.
