The much anticipated Deadmans edit from Tim Bonython, covered from all angles.

Tim's captured the raw power and unruliness perfectly, with high consequences for making the wrong move.

was starting to wonder if surf oracle and mystery photography Swellnet Craig actually existed in person, or whether he was some godly figment of Swellnet’s imagination - my doubts are now at rest

Was wondering what happened to my tea cosy.

Craig Thursday, 7 Apr 2022 at 02:17 pm new

Oi, if I knew Tim was gonna stick the camera in my face I would have made myself look a bit better haha!

I was impressed by the luxuriant dark facial hair despite the blond thatch up top :)

Bahahaha dead ringer for ol’ craigos

That's one of Tim's best I think.

Max McGuigan gets the guernsey, bloody brilliant on his backhand. Mr Ku a special commendation for not taking his eyes off the bottom of that thing.....

That booger got some nice tunnels

You stole the show Craig.

Good stuff.

Pre-surf chats; grom chargers; budgie smugglers; tea cosy; hellman chargers. This one had it all!

I enjoyed the Raw footage more - it captured the essence and was mind blowing.

Great job. You really manage to capture the moment Tim.
you take us there, in the thick of it, on the headland, in the car park...helping us to get a sense of the day/zeitgeist. Wow!!

That's good art

Maybe slightly too much slo-mo for my liking, but hey, who am I to criticise.
GREAT CLIP!!!!

Great work Tim & Co. Many and varied angles and perspectives, so many real brave folk of all ages having a crack. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the short was the frothing young groms, Built like matchsticks but busting to get out there, their enthusiasm was contagious, give me those kind of kids any day, better than young ones heading to the dark corners of their bedroom for a 12 hour plus Minecraft session. Keep up the good work.

Also loved the shot of the White-breasted Sea Eagle carrying off a huge fish for breakfast. Gotta love the ocean for all it offers.

Craig, Noo, get back in my computer!!
Forehand charging, backhand charging, boogs charging, epic makes, huge barrels, countless ludicrous forms of the epic fail, plus the wave has a mutant inside it .
What's not to love?

Ray Shirlaw Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 06:17 am new

No offence but that makes Mav's look like a fat and boring piece of shit

Optimist Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 06:37 am new

Proper surfing on guns, no jet skis in sight just man ( and woman) and the sea…(take notice Gold Coast kooks) absolutely loved it…the camera angles brought back so many memories especially “ the surge”….good job…possibly don’t interview a guy about to jump….super rogues there ha…..loved it!

Blake87 Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 07:50 am new

Was that the much anticipated wave of Josh Ku or is there another one?
Best footage yet. So sick

Craig Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 08:06 am new

That was it, looks to be the biggest ridden for the day.

garyg1412 Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 08:07 am new

Biggest balls award goes to that idiot on the yacht - WTF??

udo Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 08:09 am new

Wild Wave ridden on a Wild board

Did that little blonde fella get a wave? He was pretty psyched.

But none of the hype. Just 5 hell chargers out. Gotta love where we live

bluediamond Friday, 8 Apr 2022 at 04:42 pm new

haha. Nice work cameo Craig.
Unreal footage. Loved the interview on the rocks (literally)
Had to turn it down once the music started though.

Robwilliams Saturday, 9 Apr 2022 at 12:47 pm new

Heavy day out, some absolute thumpers ridden. Plus the extra footage from sprout. Psyched watching it. Good crew heavy waves and by the looks no drop ins or heavy hassling. That's what it's about. Out of interest sprout do you know about some of the boards in that footage? More helmets being worn too.

Robwilliams Saturday, 9 Apr 2022 at 01:03 pm new

Bit of info from udo in instagram thread. thanks

Fooman Saturday, 9 Apr 2022 at 01:34 pm new

Anybody know average board dimensions of the crew who took it on? Radical surfing allright!!

Barn Saturday, 9 Apr 2022 at 03:09 pm new

So many great goofy foot surfers right there.

lost Saturday, 9 Apr 2022 at 07:14 pm new

Heavy and impressive efforts.

Doesn’t look like many made it. Majority eating it.
