Shippies Trip - For the Experience

The winter down here in Australia in the southern hemisphere has been pretty slow. So when i saw a big enough swell with right winds heading to Shipsterns I rallied up a team. Including 12 year old brothers Loci & Ballin Cullen both coming from my village of Avalon. And bodysurfers Corey Sainsbury & Caitlin OCallahan. How it all pans out created a very adventurous trip.

What a great inter-generational surf trip, so valuable to raise kids like this, just like humans have been doing since we hunted large animals with wooden spears - guided by the older family members, doing something fun, scary, outdoors, and just so healthy. Brilliant.

No place in the world like Shipsterns!! Wish it wasn't so hard to get to!!

[@williamkerr3350]

I agree with Polly ,70 year old Tasmanian and can't ever remember a winter so mild, obviously not in the briney though,still keep you on your toes.The excitement of the punters and the nippers was as beautiful to experience as your photography and edit,Thanx Tim .

[@doogsmac]

Siiiiiiiick! How epic for the young crew to feel the energy of Shippies!!

[@marcjeudevine526]

This is the best video of shippies I've ever seen !!!!!!

[@pedros.1576]

Dads and kids get the best Shipsterns ever caught on beautiful, professional filming. Great job and a perfect soundtrack Tim, your team scored big!

[@ScottParker-pl7uv]

The super clear images of the super gnarly slabs really captured the technical mastery of the guys so beautifully. Good on the boys for getting out there amongst this mighty energy. Great work Tim

[@rb9027]

The best thing about that footage was the fact that it was all paddle , no mechanical. Kept it so real. Well done Tim, always love your work. You always bring something to the table. Well done whipper snappers and body boarders (particularly Corey first up in the line up) for having a crack! No mean feat. Keep doing what you're doing.... Cheers

LEGENDS

[@bobross5079]

Ben Gravy is the G.O.A.T.

[@wavester46]

I think that Starfish at the beginning is a pest introduced from Japan from shipping ballast water.

[@jzkramer]

I imagine if you need an emergency colonoscopy, you can rely on Captain James 'Polly' Polanowski

[@MrTrew]

Would be great viewing to see Nick Cullen in one of those barrels

[@ryantweddle3167]

What's a good swell size for there? 3.5m / 4 m swell with NNE winds? I recently visited tassy for a wedding and loved it there. The east coast was offshore all day and I was itching to explore. I bodyboard in west oz at waves like the Box, boodjidup, north point etc so genuinely asking about swell size for shippies. Maybe 4m with a nne wind?

[@SURFINGVISIONS]

I cant give you all the secrets but your right. And not to west that direction.

[@byronbaybarrels]

jug heads one at 11:50. so technical. invisible fade/delay stall

[@saltyconvict7000]

Yeh the boogers own that shit.

[@garthjohnson88]

Sam Thomas at 20:24 🧨✨

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

boat load of shark bait lol

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

respect to the sufres here insane

[@user-qd6pu9co7q]

Gee bodysurfers are lousy, ay? Why wouldn’t they just get a board?

[@LordFlashheart1]

They probably rip harder on a board than you ever will

[@jb-es5zj]

trying to push kids into waves like that doesn't seem like responsible parenting/coaching 18:16

[@exxotixjeff2822]

Yes I agree ,even the experienced adults were suffering out there, one set could have ended their lives,if not phsychologicaly scarring them for the rest of their lives lives
