Day of Dayz - Shipsterns Bluff | 2024 Slab Tour Part 1

[@Aussiehoghunters]

That's some of the best surfing and charging I've seen over my 40yrs , some serious next level surfing by both the ladies and the lads... Kipp kaddy , you sir have balls of steal !!!

[@SWP805]

That wave was⚠️👹💣

[@rzadigi]

That was some seriously insane surfing! There is no doubt that Australia has the most maniacs per capita in the world!!🙌❤️

[@marjanboo4196]

An don't forget serial killers

[@markhansen4269]

Epic. Best surf vids, keep it coming

[@OFBCyclingWorld]

I live in Tassie and watch the swells here closely. I recon that was the one I was looking at recently. I'm too old to surf now but never stop looking....Great video all involved.

[@miketausig4205]

Too old? I see 70 year olds here in Southern California still surfing. Granted, they’re not shredding the gnar, and most have longboards, but they’re still out there. Now if the BODY just can’t take it, THAT I understand. I’m 50, have had 6 spinal reconstructions and lost my ability to surfer after all the fusions. If it wasn’t for that, I’d still be there!

[@wildthingsoceanicimages145]

Bloody epic!!

[@ozsuncoast]

How is this even possible. Mind boggling, want to shake everyone's hand.

[@willmiddleton9199]

Laura Enever that was so AWESOME !!!

[@ojmoravak]

Oh mate, that was nuts! Big respect to all brave boys and girls and cheers to you for sharing this video with us!

[@michaelstubbs4729]

I don't think anyone stopped smiling the whole session/s

[@leftish23]

I think this is the best Surfing Visions vid yet. Captures the event, not just the surfing. And of course, the surfing is awesome.

[@DonaldLibbey]

Great awesome slab charging but this place is so heavy!!! Anybody died or get severely injured here yet? The boiling dry reef/rocks in that heavy of a wave is serious. I get it, though I was born and raised in Hawaii on Oahu's north shore in our beach house at Ehukai Beach/Pipeline in 1960 when I was born. Been surfing since I was 5 years old and surfed country and Pipeline all my life. It was great cause I had it uncrowded for all those years, but it's just amazing how even at this slab, you eat it and miraculously don't hit bottom....... until one day you do!! I have lost 5 friends who died surfing Pipeline, one in my arms as I desperately tried to give him cpr etc, while trying to get him into shore. I nearly drowned once at huge Backdoor Pipeline because I got stuck in the impact zone held in place and took 8, 10' "Hawaiian " waves on the head in a row, till I just couldn't get a good breath of air nto my lungs after 6 waves in a row!! Waves 7&8 I had no air in me and was exhausted. My friend who I grew up with and went to high school with, Mark Cunningham, a legendary lifeguard at Ehukai Beach had jumped out of the tower and ran up the beach when I took the 1st wave realizing I was in a bad spot! He made it out to me and grabbed me, conscious, but I couldn't swim from total exhaustion. He likely saved my life as I'm not sure if I could have gotten myself back in!! What surfers are doing today and the heavy charging like at Teahupoo here etc, is just mind blowing!!! Pipeline is still the most dangerous wave in the world where more people have died than anywhere else. Each new generation just breaks new ground in sports and surfing is no exception. Much respect Aloha from beautiful Hawaii D.L.

[@jdmimportlogistics]

Dylan Longbottom & Team going next level for over a decade legendary status!!!!

[@0warami_7oo]

Only when Tim's got the camera out then they dominate towing thru the paddlers!!

[@jdmimportlogistics]

@@0warami_7oo Well I did not say dominating by any means. Tons of respect for the Shipsterns locals but weren't Laurie and Dylan doing some of the best paddling over 10 years ago with Andy? What I meant was that Dylan as well as his team have been consistently going to the next level at Apocalypse, Mavs, Chopes, Ours, Deserts Cloudbreak, and Nazare. Much of the hydrodynamic R&D on his tow boards they were riding the other day were developed with Manoa-Matahi's brother over 20 years ago at Kumbaya with nobody around!

[@mixiesix67]

Yah Dylan Long-cock and Tim Bony-cock make a sick team!

[@stringybarkin]

Awesome stuff!!

[@nettwench]

LAURA! WAVE OF THE DAY! ❤

[@davemacleod9623]

Another masterpiece...

[@Tunnelrat6666]

Great vid loved it what a beast of a wave hats off to the brave people riding it.

[@AMRsurfingeverywhere]

Another level, surfing, photography, safety, etc... Congratulations!!!

[@POPPIELOK]

This is one of your best vids m8. All elements are absolutely spot on. Should be really proud of this one.

[@miketausig4205]

What a beautiful day! The weather was probably as close to perfect as I’ve seen Shippies, ever! And that beautiful dark blue water just looked amazing. Between the swell and the weather, that’s likely the reason why there was a gazillion people in the lineup. I can’t recall a session that had more people there, and at Shippies, that’s a big deal, as a safety concern goes. IMO Tyler won the day with the most waves, including some super gnarly drops & slabs. The one where he was “double barreled” was insane- barreling from the slab and barreling from overhead. And how the hell can folks surf goofy foot on this wave? I know most of these folks are pros, but still…on a wave like Shippies, dealing with the bottom turn is no joke, let alone the slabs and steps. Crazy to see these guys pull it off…sometimes😉 For years I’ve heard people talk about how sharky Shippies is, yet I have never seen a shark there, and I’ve watched hundreds of hours of tape from this place. Is it really that sharky or has that been overblown a little? As for the video, it was not too bad. A couple of constructively offered (subjective) comments though: a) if you insist on using music, don’t play music with vocals in it. Instrumental is the only way to go. Hearing a vocal R&B song in the middle of this was not only strange, but it was completely out of place. b) I love when folks take the time to put names onscreen of who is on each wave, but if you’re going to do it, then do it with a legible font. The font used in this vid was really hard to read, and on top of that the names were gone before I could figure out what they said. So yeh…no need to get fancy…just use a simple font and give it more than 2-3 seconds. c) I might be in the minority with this one, but the drone shots from high above the wave and behind the break are the worst angles for viewing. It doesn’t allow for any real depth of perception, and the surfer is out of the shot long before the wave is over. I know drones are the fancy new thing, but here again, simpler is often better. Similarly, shooting from the boat was almost useless for viewing, as there are always people in the way, and the surfers are so tiny on the wave that you can’t see the details of the ride. Regardless of all my comments, everyone involved with this is appreciated. Thank you for surfing, thank you for filming, thank you for towing and driving the watercraft out there, and thank you for putting the edit together.

[@michaelstubbs4729]

Gnarly...you are all nuts...I love it!!! Slab Tour 2024...let's go

[@drewkellet635]

Was really cool to see Laurie Towner charging he got some bombs and especially mark Mathews must have been a great feeling for him to return there! And Dylan’s wave😮that was one for the ages!!! So well surfed! Everyone out there much respect !!

[@PocketOKrypto]

Another great video Tim! Thanks for putting in all the work and travel so we can enjoy the show too!🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Irideus]

Tim just love it hats off to the whole crew~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHEERS

[@jaycee571]

So good to see some of the old school chargers and OGs of the game still have it Laurie, Dylan, Mark, Dan and the Shippies OG Marty Paradisis still going hard. Laura is a maniac 11:25 she surfed that so well, pitty the wave went unrideable

[@mixiesix67]

Was only unrideable for HER, not anyone else 😛

[@janepower6842]

Laura you are my hero!!! ❤ Inspiring clip......I think Nate would be happy to lend the name.

[@chrishollomanphoto]

The cinematography, edit, audio... all of it, absolutely stunning. I'd buy tickets for this in a theatre. Banff Film Festival would eat this up. Thanks for sharing!

[@Territory.Beyond]

Such a great effort in capturing all the various footage and put together in a spectacular edit. That wave is a mutant beast when it's pumping. Crazy (skilled) surfers. Thank you.

[@thestow35]

epic session. inspirational all round - especially from Laura!

[@finnfilms]

Absolutely awesome! What a bunch of fearless chargers.

[@juliovildosola1075]

Utterly amazing!. A joy to watch. Thanks

[@solomonschneider9860]

29:52 when the step is something to go under, not over. Wow!

[@DemopVWgarage]

How good was Laura giving this place a go! legend :)

[@rodastley733]

Crazy wave.. Dylan got the meanest barrel on that bomb.. and ate it on a few too.. everyone was charging.. Laurie Towner is a hell man out there.. Insane footage Tim

[@mrhodgesclass3706]

Exemplars of human spirit! Surfing, videoing and editing perfection. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@peterbrown7433]

That Kip Caddy wave at 20:00 was mental !

[@hagen-oo2cm]

The footage towards the end- so beautiful.

[@tomdonaldson3691]

Great footage. The music, slow-mo and calling it the “Slab Tour” were nice extra touches

[@jackvolkwyn470]

no waayys. cut the bs music its awful, just give us the raw sound of the ocean

[@TrailsTrailsTrails]

Shipstern Bluff always reminds me of the Alien, with a mouth inside the mouth. Insane!

[@leanin_scrub]

Amazing, simply amazing shots. Great work! Makes you feel like you were there. Thank you!

[@markdepena6238]

DAYS OF DAYZ. We took the chance of a continuing romance Took that chance at Shipsterns Bluff Conditions read great to participate At a place we just can't get enough We knew that survival upon our arrival Depended on the choice of the wave An all offshore day, we so scored here hey! What every 'hellman' does crave All the guns were there to get there share Laura and Summa made up the team We knew the dangers we were well aware But this day we were livin' the dream Looked as good as it gets, but one can easily forget Just how perfect, this barrel can be But first you negotiate, the notorious step on our plate Before we can get out of jail so free There was Dylan and Laurie, Kipp and Soli Summa and Laura, the girls There was many a charger, with balls so much larger Not knowing what this full day unfurls They surfed to the sunset, how good does it get! Some epic rides and stacks as well But when you stay on your feet and your ride is complete You can't wait for the very next swell! So thankyou Tim for showing at a whim The beauty and danger of this place This days of dayz let me give so much praise To the man we all love to embrace. Dip for Tim Thankyou Mate for always bringing to the table and showing us plebs what big wave charging is all about. Be it shippies or chopes jaws mavericks or even ours the entertainment leaves us all in awe of what you capture. It is your life long passion the you chase these swells wherever and whenever they be. On behalf of the whole surfing fraternity out there may we thankyou for you daring and dedication following your dream to capture the most daring of surfers , be it man or woman taking on these places with such gusto.

[@Palaeoarchaeololollol]

Spectacular like alleyways !! Grate woke Tin !!!

[@cabledigitalaustralia]

12:32 flying!!!! That ramp had no chance..

[@warrenwilson2572]

Absolutely amazing clips. I can't imagine surfing a wave that you know you'll have wipeouts of this magnitude 9 out of 10 times.

[@Foxhoundn]

I know nothing about Surfing, am from middle of Europe, but your videos are amazing! The songs selection is absolutely insane, I've been giving Shazam a run for its money 😂😂

[@laurenceleong8493]

What the hell is the longbottom family on summer and dad big wave freaks thanks to all the tassie locals who are just so chill with the visirors too you guys dont get mentioned enough great to see marty paradies there again love this wild wave but the crew all look out for each other

[@sss4762]

Great work tim

[@deweyweber4619]

Thank you, and thank all you Ozzy chargers. And thank you mother ocean for providing a pallet for our insanity.

[@jimsibley1651]

some insane rides, and some really rough looking wipeouts...first wave, bailed kind of unsuccessfully and laid out flat on the surface directly under the lip...then there were others very similar. The lip of a wave half that high and 1/4 as thick hurts quite a bit, hard to imagine (and don't want to) how much that hurts here. And there's a huge cliff and big boulders, and oh yeah, your board is in two pieces. Gotta have a massive amount of...drive? insanity? plus massive skills to surf at this place

[@alanyates5088]

If I ever surfed and survived one wave at Ship Sterns Bluff, it would be forever the first item on my CV.

[@olivierneyrat477]

magnifique bravo les filles

[@cerebrochemi]

Aussie girls are amazing

[@hoopgal3216]

Holy f*cking sh*t Laura!!!! That was amazing!

E P I C

[@ramboestrada-nz]

Crazy session! How does it work with the crew towing vs the core lords paddling? What''s the etiquette?

[@0warami_7oo]

Whoever gets the biggest tow wave and makes it on film wins

[@kapunas]

Whoever goes for the biggest sets. Simple. Paddle has priority if they are willing to go. 😊

[@kapunas]

@maxdodshon hrm that does suck, unless you are mike stewart. 😉

[@ozsuncoast]

Ladies... full respect. I would start crying from fear out there.

[@joshmayoj2193]

Oh my!!! Is Kip Caddy ok? And Laura is an inspiration!!

[@mikec3369]

Awesome to see the local crew out there. My 4 yr old daighter says she has her sights set on this place, which is terrifying to me. Keen to understand why this isn’t surfed on a southerly swell - does anyone know? Got some footage Dec 21 last year. It looked epic then but was around S5 as I recall and no one out.

[@algorerhyth]

Laura earned my respect a while ago. She charges.

[@solomonschneider9860]

14:47 Gelatinous step what? So glassy!

[@phil6631]

and the girls Summa & Laura amazing not to mention the likes of mr Kaddy etc..:) 🤘

[@El.Manchilde]

The girls are shredding gnar buckets!! 🤙

[@MemoROFL]

Kipp always seems to understand that wave better than anyone

[@zacmitty7851]

Of all the spots in the world those two words '😈😈Shipstern Bluff' make my blood run cold! Is it the boil of a wave/cold water/large mammals? Probably all of the above!

[@caseyrawhiti7317]

12.20 is so sick

[@stephaneleveque974]

Shipstern IS thé name of m'y little female dog...so bluffy 😂❤

[@broadydaz9319]

laurie towner , master class

[@DarknessYT2010]

see Dylan likes the camera ')haha How does it go with a ski and all those crew paddling

[@DarknessYT2010]

dam that music hurts the ears but footage is awesome . leura gets best wipeout of the year hands down

[@the-igloo]

lol "the shredder"

[@jimsibley1651]

The best rides here on a huge day are so epic...but the price of admission these guys & gals are paying...wheeeew. And the baddest of the bad waves...in the original sense of bad...like the one around 18:45 that Kip Caddy pulls out of, that thing's mutations had mutations within their mutations. Also...people do things at more "normal" spots, like getting airs, doing 360s, etc. Ok, fun, takes skills. But to me...the most impressive "trick" in surfing is probably handling the doubleup ledge drops at this place and not only landing them, but integrating that into where you then need to be on the wave, getting right back on the rail & on the line you need...WOW

[@smalltowninnewmexico]

MARTI P is the raddest dude .

[@tobycunningham560]

Epic video Tim. Nazare sucks compared to these slabs lol
