For the first time in three years, the amaysim Australian Surf Movie Festival will return to venues across Australia in November and December.

The films feature an array of the world’s best big wave riders, including: Kai Lenny, Rodrigo Koxa, Matahi Drollet, Ross Clarke-Jones, Dan Corbett, Bradley Norris, Henry Davies, Shane Ackerman, Jake Osman and many more, battling the biggest waves on the planet.

Tim Bonython has spent the last four years chasing massive swell events for this year's festival. It is an adventure that has taken him around the globe. The footage he's collected records includes some of the most groundbreaking moment in recent big wave surfing memory. The five short films were filmed during XXL swells at:

  • Nazare
  • Mullaghmore
  • Teahupoo
  • The Right
  • Cloudbreak

Together these five films make up the 14th Edition of the festival. 

The festival promises to bring audiences to the edge of their seats, injecting viewers with a much needed dose of awe and adrenaline. It’s what Tim’s done for decades, and with a stellar cast of hardcore chargers and spine-tingling swells, this year’s festival might just be the best one yet.

ASMF weren’t always Big Wave stuff? I still can remember ASMF 4? It had that dude at La Libertad in El Salvador. Loved that little movie when I was younger

Tried to watch "Wild Australia" a few years ago and got screwed over! I purchased it but couldn't watch it. Wasn't happy! Have tried numerous times since to try and watch/ buy it but not available
