THE 12th Australian Surf Movie Festival presented by GoPro will be at Sharkies Leagues Club, Woolooware, from 8pm, tomorrow, November 21.
The festival includes stories shot this year of ‘‘The Right’’ in Western Australia, a secret spot off the south coast of NSW, Shipsterns in Tasmania and Pedra Branca – a reef 27 kilometres out to sea — and, hot off the press, Fiji’s massive swell last month and Tahiti.
Australia has become a mecca over the past 10 years for surfing crazy, ocean slabs: huge lumps of water that come out of the deep ocean and unload onto shallow reefs such as Cape Solander, Kurnell.
These waves create monster barrels and are intensely dangerous but their size and power are truly a spectacle. They are dotted all over our coastline.
The GoPro festival shows us where the sport is now, by highlighting the best slabs on the planet – in Australia.
Except for the ultimate-extreme action sequel, the stories behind some of the up-and-coming, brave and talented Australian surfers have been captured through the lens of film director and cinematographer Tim Bonython.
Buy tickets at the door.
