My friend Tim Bonython , has his surf movie festival on again this year at the Palm Berach RSL club. But first to Palm Beach for dinner, and what beautiful light
Nothing beats a good fish & Chips
Waiting for our meal at the Palmy fish & chips shop
After dinner, off to the RSL for Tim's surf movie night, here he is setting up the projector, room slowly filling up
Before the night gets under way, Tim has a brief chat about what he is about to show us tonight
packed room
And then we are treated to a little acoustic session by Nick Saxon from Newcastle, and he's not bad, check the grommets
Nick did another session during intermission as well
before the big waves, lucky door prizes, and lucky us, Belle won a little goodie bag, and now India wins apair of sunglasses, lucky
The deal was though , who ever had the lucky ticket, to get the sunnies , they had to model them on stage
cute, crowd loved it of course
now for the reason we are here. . . .waves....big waves
monsters
and hollow
grommets frothing at the front there I'm sure
now check this beast of a wave out. It's an outer break called Shipsterns ( shipwreck ) in Tasmania, so cold water, and solid waves, but this sequence is just hairy scary
how small is he compared the beast frothing behind him
but wait, check this little ( big ) step building up in his path
n o w a y ! !
total silence in the room, as the crowd is gobsmacked
Airborn ! This would have to be up there with someof the sickest, heaviest wave Tim has ever got on footage
awesome. Thanks Tim for another awesome night of entertainment. And all you surfers out there, what am I saying, you don't even have to be a surfer to appreciate this footage, all of you out there, do yourself a favour and check out Tim's movie.

Very cool. I will go to one of the screenings in SA. Thanks for posting info about it because otherwise I would have never known it was going to be shown.
Cheers!
