From the early morning clean up set to the pulled back view which underscores the many angles and sections, this vid of Tim's is worth your four-minute investment.

And for those who are wondering, there ain't a singe tow wave.

I wondered how bad was the beating was on the waves not made? These type of waves can do serious harm to your body or worse drown with hold down.

Yeah one of my old mates was stuck inside a 20 ft cleanup set with his camera there and nearly drowned. that one at 2:50 was sick almost made it and it just kept barreling, nice one.

Great cameraman , heavy self promoter, at any cost. Probably should keep his head out of his videos. Apart from that usually good footage. Remember your manners Tim.

Thats definitely a teaser he’s kept the footage for a future movie... they were some big moments there over the wkd

The righthander. Was that a mistake, or does it go?

Nah, crew sit on it. Big drop, not as hollow.

If a wave was surfed near the forest, but wasn’t filmed, was it really surfed?

Well done, Tim. Very nice and a soundtrack to match. Cheers.

That last wave ridden looks like a well edited tow wave to me.

Same, Tiger.

I thought either that was the perfect chip-in behind the peak, or there was some assistance involved.

Any idea of size boards being paddled ?

Lachie Rombouts was on a 10'4

One of my favorite secret spots is near there i called it heineken point.
As it goes from blue water onto a ledge with green weed all over it and the colour of the water changes to green as it goes over the ledge. Needs to be ten to 20 foot to break well though.Still its similar to guillotines and perfect with two tube sections.

Last time i was there they had seven skis out the bombie and one bodysurfer.
Bodysurfer was charging.It made all the magazines at the time.
