Watch: Tim Bonython // Game On
EDIT: Following a period of deep thought and much soul-searching, Tim has re-edited the clip and (mostly) tossed the slo-mo.
Don't say he doesn't listen, people.
Words and footage by Tim Bonython:
"When you see a storm that's as big as Australia and just sits there for five days you know there's going to be some great action to chase. And so here's Part 1. Featuring my Mr Action Man, Wayne Cleveland, then the up and coming surfer from Maroubra Max McGuigan. Ex-ASP/WSL pro surfer Kirk Flintoff and internationally renown Laurie Towner with his good friend and shaper Dylan Longbottom.
"The second half goes into day two when we venture to another spot that's like Pipeline and see some incredible rides by Nathan and Byron Bartlett, Russell Bierke, Paul Morgan, and absolute legend Ollie Dousset, a host of the better bodyboarders like Ben Player and Elliot Butler, plus the lads I travelled with, Wayne, Max, Laurie, and Kirk."
Comments
amazing footage, significantly compromised by way too much super slo-mo and questionable music. at 6:42 - watching someone abort takeoff on a head high wave and jump off with little or no consequence is not necessary, especially at that speed. cut the film in half and just give us the best bits at normal speed and its a great clip. i watched some of it at 2x speed and there was still too much slo-mo
not sure why the hype on this one - bigger/better most winter swells here in the SW - not exactly death or glory
this tim dude sure knows how to make a wave crowded
Am i the only one who reads the comments before deciding if I'll press play or not?
Raw edits please Tim.
