Cape Carnage

Solander - Cape Carnage - May 2021
One of Australia's most merciless slab waves exists in Sydney and May in the middle of the Aussie autumn is a good time for this place to come alive which it did for two consecutive days back on the 7th & 8th. The first day is big and wild & the following day is a day that will go down in the big wave history books not for the crazy perfect slabbing waves but for the carnage both in body and equipment used.. Featuring some of Sydney's best slab surfers both bodyboard & surf/tow surfers, Cape Solander/ Cape Fear was everything that this place is known for.
Featuring Russell Bierke, Kipp Caddy, Laurie Towner, Evan Faulks, Lucas Street, Hayden Blair and some of best body boarders.
Special Thx to Kleber Estorilio, Guy Mac and Jose Garcia for the extra footage.
And Brad Whittaker for putting me in the spot to get the shot..
Note* Make sure you see the moment when Kipp Caddys jetski ended up on the rocks..@ 8.35 in.

A surfer and an esky lid shared a barrel & a jetski got smashed on the rocks! Epic.

[@jimbur5350]

First time ever seeing the drop in Boogey and Stand up share a wave, get a barrel, and show a sign of comradery with that pat on the back. That's mateship!

[@jakehendry242]

Definitely love how you showed a mixed bag of surfers and Bodyboarders whoever rips gets a clip, and you don’t have a bunch of BS like some other KZbin videos do just to eat up time for more commercials.👏🏽

[@saltyconvict7000]

Love the boogie action 👌🏼

[@anarchistangler]

"Punished...beaten...like a redheaded stepchild." Funny expression.

[@JohnnygSawyer]

One of the gnarliest paddle out breaks I've ever seen. Good on ya guys! From Redondo Beach, California.

[@garryskelsey765]

South side of the entrance to Botany Bay.... ask Steven Tarr about he's ideas about the possibilities of riding this slab... early to mid 70's.. we watched it and laughed about it... the shire!!!!! God bless us all !!!! ......... it's not part of the eastern suburbs........ the George's river is between us..... not to mention Botany Bay.... for those that want to have a go.. good luck to ya!!!! and I hope you have the ride of your life....🤙 I'm in my 60's now... and this is just part of my slab appreciating!!!!!! 😁🤙

[@garryskelsey765]

P.s. who would have thought that just over the back of where the dirty, filthy oil refinery was... that this could have happened.... maybe we should have taken the time..and talked to the fella's that were here all the time...and we could have enjoyed what this precious spot had to offer.... instead of turning the sandhills into footings, lode bearing walls and all the concrete we could ever hope for...and making the rest of it into a dirty port....

[@notdwarfy8085]

real respect to those cameramen/women in the water though

[@Sincere8250]

I'm believably sick shots though I have to say. Way more entertaining than most surf vids

[@wild2flyparagliding160]

An amazing production that had me on the edge of my seat from sic tubes, gnarly take offs and those ever hungry rocks. Feel for that jet-ski guys! ;)

[@alexandreouya9072]

EPIC ! Thanks a lot Swell Chase ! It's nice to see bodyboarders charging too.

Sickest channel, amazing vid.

[@alfonindatube]

these guys are built different, holy hell

[@MrIsomer]

Yeah, that was a pretty unique situation the boogie and the stand-up guy. Liked the smiles coming out of the barrel. Hope you can sell that shot for some type of commercial Tim...

[@itcantbetruebutis7778]

Big waves have always drawn me to the beach.. then I went out bodyboarding in 15ft waves off the outer banks one day and got the beating of a lifetime. I thought I was good and I could handle it like any other big day... but let me tell you it was survival mode once I got on my board and began paddling out into the angry ocean.. I swear, I was 14 then and my back is still screwed up from 1 wave where I got sucked up to the top and driven down into the sand like a 50lb sledge hammer to a flea... love watching these guys and gals take on the nasty 🏄‍♂️ tho

[@troypointerphotography]

Grate video regards Troy

[@travbell2312]

Sick edit Tim!

[@peterernstherbst264]

[@nivsurftrips]

Surf movie of the year! Unreal

[@LiftRunStretch]

Best surf video I’ve seen in a long time! Yeeew

[@jonathanrath2627]

[@davemacleod9623]

[@clarkewi]

Awesome.

[@danieltuso]

Great!!

[@cosmicpuma1409]

All I can say is,: DAYYYUMMMM!! THIS IS EPIC!!!

[@upsidedahead]

Mans tryna rescue that ski is treading a very fine line

[@davidhopping3043]

That left me sweating in a cold room

[@johnnapier1892]

Interesting wave. Has a bit of a point break element for a slab. Seems like one of the longer breaking slabs even though it's so ferocious it doesn't look like you can ride it over ten foot

[@gernimeyer2562]

Sick

[@jamisonatanasoff3890]

💯% CRAZY

[@lukerussell701]

Epic

[@MrOblocal13]

[@Fuhgit-lu4tj]

That reef is insane

[@bonefishboards]

Up vote for Wayne Cleveland. Sounds like some of my sessions where all I get is beatings.

[@camelloyo7688]

Que maquinas

[@melbournedrummingschool339]

What's the tension in the line up like with the tow blokes getting all the tubes .. ( so many blokes )

[@retrain35yo87]

brutal

[@Who.is.Clinton]

At 11:03, that is serious skill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markdepena6238]

BALLS OF STEEL, HEART IN MOUTH Balls of steel, they have no fear Carnage at 'the Cape' Let me make it perfectly clear Not all will make the escape Every surfer knows the score The cliff face only metres Every ride sees the ocean floor And at death's door one teeters But still they take it on with stealth Every surfer knows their fate Cape fear isn't too good for your health For some who participate We all watch on from the safety of land Like voyeurs and ghouls we stare Only a surfer can understand But everyone is aware The dangers here surfing this place It's not for the faint of heart No room for error, not much space They know this from the start But still they take it on with balls Knowing all the dangers Pride here cometh before one falls Locals and total strangers It's a place to show respect No time to be complacent Just when you think you can stand erect The ocean commands your placement Only metres to reach your glory Only seconds to set your line Everyone hoping to tell their story Knowing that ride's so fine They'll be out again tomorrow To live another day Brand new board, beg steal or borrow Another day to play Thrown into the den of the lions No time for miscalculation Balls of steel how one defines Despair or a standing ovation dip for Tim 08-06-21

[@ctrlb4213]

at least if you fall you have some nice jagged rocks to get pushed into

[@beatvampire]

always where the action is Tim

[@alanyt2000]

If you took 4 still shots from a 2s portion of some of these barrels you'd never convince someone it was the same wave (particularly 10:59)

[@clarkewi]

What skis do you use?

[@loudaniel216]

Aaaaaaaah I never do comments but this was just f'in fantastico thanks Tim
