Society Unseen - video

Swellnet Dispatch

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 ?? :)

gotta have some eye-candy in the mix.........

stunet Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 11:36 am new

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.

OHV500 Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 12:46 pm new

excellent - then not eye candy :)

clif Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 05:53 pm new

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.

Wow , production values.

Its like watching a fancy beer ad.

That's just cut from the chopes section of the point break remake!

Legrope Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 12:59 pm new

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?

Geez Ned Kelly has been brass ones.

If I could up-vote! haha

These guys need a helmet, oh ... and therapy!

Tired of living...

indo-dreaming Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 05:04 pm new

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

AndyM Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 05:29 pm new

Unwatchable - are they taking the piss?

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

clif Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 05:52 pm new

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

If I could up-vote! Ha ha! :-)

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.

Dale Buggins, all is forgiven!

campbell Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 09:03 pm new

Somebody's got a rich daddy by the looks of that clip. Point break 2 eat your heart out.

Blowin Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 09:11 pm new

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

So I'm not going to say anything negative.

seaslug Wednesday, 12 Oct 2016 at 07:43 pm new

I concur Blowin

Sheepdog Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 09:35 pm new

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

clif Wednesday, 12 Oct 2016 at 05:54 pm new

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!

crip Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 10:22 pm new

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.

upnorth Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 10:41 pm new

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.

t-diddy Tuesday, 11 Oct 2016 at 11:24 pm new

new superman VXI trailer?

the-camel Wednesday, 12 Oct 2016 at 09:16 am new

this is what surfing & born again christianity looks like when you put them together

the-camel Wednesday, 12 Oct 2016 at 09:18 am new

all the graininess is gone
