On the fourth day of the recent East Coast swell bender, Tim travelled across town to Cape Solander. While putting on his best Russell Coight impersonation, a solid crew of rock jockeys, including Laurie Towner and Kirk Flintoff, get under the ledge as the Cape does its thing.

Word of warning: Not to be watched if you're in a hurry.

based on the ok soundtracks of the latest deadmans and of this film (not insufferable, relentless doof)..  I am willing to concede that a gritty urban winebar muzak sampler kinda works in the sydney zone.. gonna call it though..  simply doesn't work for anything south of (and including) wedding cake or north of barrenjoey.
(In the same way that seeing sick urban-adjacent waves with an urban soundtrack is cool..  what is cool about a non-urban settings is..  well..  that they're not urban..)
As always, thanks for the free access to some fucking amazing moments TB!

It's Tim's style
Early 2000s are coming back
Long boardies..... wrap-around sunnies

I've said it before, the only person that pit vipers work on,
is Coach Eric Taylor. But Okanuis? Timeless.

haha, yep, TB's admirably uncompromising. wants to have the voice and language he has.
sorta spans an imagined surf gap between Agnès Varda and Jeff LeRoy or Sean Baker.
who tell the world to fuck off and make their own films if they want something different.
