Journey On Shane Herring

In 1992 he won the Coke Classic against Kelly and was heralded as Australia's answer to the Slater juggernaut. However, Shane Herring's career went horribly off the rails. In this candid and confronting documentary Shane Herring and his closest associates reflect on his time in the spotlight.
Note: The archival footage of Shane's surfing is guaranteed to blow your mind.
A film by Monty Webber

What a refreshingly honest story. Props to the Herro’s for sharing. Loved GW’s comments & insights. And Herro fucking ripped.

[@grantkauffman7625]

Herro was unbelievably fast and powerful. I remember watching him free surfing in Durban in 1991 between heats at the Gunston 500. His surfing made everyone else look like they were on slow-mo while he was throwing buckets. Super raw and instinctive.

win or lose. money gained, money lost - good philosophy Shane.. "journey on"!

Champion surfer and soul

[@SuperMagoo76]

What a champion. Shane seems like a very positive bloke. I remember the Herring brothers, loved watching both of them on my old vhs. I forgot about that old grainy footage, the low centre of gravity was very functional and stylish. I think from memory it was out on the great barrier reef, I could be wrong tho.

[@joshstewart1937]

One of the best surfers ever

[@TheArts19]

So epic. So many of us jock out too hard and trip out.. Maybe we beat a dead horse. This story is good. Rare to see someone content after being at the top...

[@charliedillon1400]

Killer surfer; just ripping; but I remember the late 80s-early 90s era of those super thin boards that 90% of all surfers couldn't ride like these guys. I know it held me back trying to flap around on these boards.

[@insidethetoob]

where can you find more herring footage

[@margaretmason8829]

Monty Webber - for more footage

[@Jetty-me6cw]

has the surfing Community reached out to him and asked if he would like some help to get straight

[@davidgray8654]

'If you live in Australia you've won the lottery' this man was never going to cope with the superscilious, egotistical morons that ran surfing in those days, he just wanted to surf. Gotta see close parrells with MP here. Shane's comment about 'strong legs and turns' v the 'aerial era' is very poinyent, very accurate, rip the bag out of the wave as it serves it up to you, if you want to do aerials, buy a parachute. I am sure you are still enjoying your jounying on Shane, good for you man.

The Man.

[@MGB618]

So what, world champion? to me it's no big deal especially how they judge surfing these days. Ross Clarke Jones and his big wave surfer mates to me are they the Gods of surfing, and the ever world champions, takes a lot of balls to do what they do. Shane has the respect anyway, seems he is a nice, down to earth natural fellow which I reckon is more important.

[@BangTaoBeach]

Medina sucks, so do airs and the WSL.

[@chrislangdon5473]

This shows how alcohol can ruin the focus needed to endure.

[@adammcguinness3166]

[@madeinaustralia2020]

terrible thing..Some people have conflictions in life..I have my own demons.

[@SimonPeter72]

He was better than Slater. He did shit on a wave none of us ever seen before. Dee Why lad. Plus he had style and no fear. Good guy. Demons got in though.

[@John-tg5vn]

Where can I get one of those baked beans

[@goddamaddog]

[@katiamontal7474]

This guy rips hard looks like archy /Curren combo( a compliment) someone needs to do a real documentary on him and David Eggers and other all time talents etc

[@johnfetho7176]

[@MrBarryBogan]
