*deep breath*...okay, it's one of Tim's Nazare videos.

Yes, the wave is a bit of a burger - albeit a fifty-foot high burger.

No, it isn't warm and sunny like Hawaii.

No, I don't like the music.

Yes, you can mute it if you wish.

Yes, you can also increase the playback speed if the slo-mo sequences shit you.

Yes, there are ads.

No, it is not our video, I'm just embedding it.

No, you don't have to watch it.

Does Tim give extended self pov camera statements ?
Will unknown fancy boy euro big wave surfers humblebrag about their average tow in rides ?
Bound to be a wonder kid/ chick / next big thing, somewhere in there being groomed for stardom.
Or is it different to his other works?

I reckon Tims longevity and incredible surf clip history allows him the licence to do whatever the fuck he wants creatively at the time as he feels fit to.
Just don't watch it if you don't like it. Fark me.
TBs at EVERY big swell that breaks on the planet, documenting it and sharing it to the surf community. For free!!
Gratitude is the first word that springs to my mind.
Is gratitude some kind of dying art form??
And he's a fukcing good bloke.
Not alot of them around these days.

@etarip, here's a TL:DW suggest: watch ^ from 18:43 - 27:56 = pretty effective rendering of that slow-mo operatic dramatic spectacle I assume Tim is chasing, music works too for this bit. Starts with Jake and Luke Smith having a froth, Tim saying 'burger', and Von R and Fink and you're in, 9 mins of emotive Nazare ending with a pretty compelling Von Rupp ride at 27:30.
(Fcuk the Smith bros make me laugh with their can-do-ey attitude, they're certainly doing the do):

I have been wondering how I failed - clearly sending my 13 year old out in 3 ft was not enough. A kid sent/let out at Nazare is ghoulish.
