Waves as big as buildings, ledges as shallow as showers. It's Rick Rifici's latest West Oz creepshow, Society Unseen.

Sea level rise can't come soon enough.

Bloody Hell - not for me - too full on. Great waves but what was the girl in the wetsuit doing ?? :)

That's Imogen Caldwell and she's a bit more than eye candy. Her family are the caretakers at Red Bluff, which is the wave she calls home.

Maybe she doesn't go as hard as Kerby or Cortney Brown, but she goes hard nonetheless.

Any chance to see footage of her surfing. That would be sick. This clip didn't show any.

Slick.

Pretty much every cliche covered but still an enjoyable watch.

No Chopes there Mibs. All West Oz. Shallow as showers is fairly accurate! Some edge of reality waves in there and these guys are on them. Fkn Psycho's. I just watch from the safety of the channel when there is a channel. Where is my security blanket?

Those guys are crazy, that first wave doesn't even look surf able but he is proving it is.

Unwatchable - are they taking the piss?

I keep expecting Russell Coight to amble in front of the camera.

Crazy people surfing that. However, the statement " it's just you and mother nature" rung as hollow as those barrels

and the ski, and the helicopter, and the cameras, and the oil, and the wetsuits and the and the

haha

cliches are THE BEST

LOL "you and mother nature"

I was thinking the exact same thing. I saw a plane, chopper, multiple speed boats, multiple 4WD, multiple jet skis even blokes walking out of a massive hanger, half expected to see a jet. Very mission impossible.

Throw in a stunning blond (that apparently can really surf) but only show her diving a tropical coral reef.

There isn't too many surfers I respect more than Kerby Brown.

So I'm not going to say anything negative.

As a surfing purist, I made it to 2 minutes 30 and had to switch it off........ A narcisistic wankathon.

A surfing purist! The last of its kind? What is a surfing purist?

Carved wood surfboard hewn from Huon Pine a molar tooth your pried out with your Bowie knife while fending off two Tasmanian Tigers trying to have sex with your leg while wearing your self-made hemp nappy and shoes stitched together and made of the leathery skin you have shed for the last ten years?

Behold! It is sheepy and he is 'The last of the Purists' Let us carve his image in stone!

3 minutes of slo-mo crap and ads and a few disjointed snips of psycho waves. Could have been a great clip but left me somewhat unsatisfied. Like a wank that didn't really work.

Don't really get this, take it its a trailer for something better? Couple of chargers for sure but token eye candy, helicopters etc seems weird.
