- Lunacy | scariest reef slab break in Australia
I've seen a lot very dangerous surfing locations but this spot Luna's takes the award for the scariest. Like all crazy slabbing waves in Australia they break on very shallow reefs. The Southern Ocean below Victoria Australia which is all part of the Shipwreck Coast that homes this lethal left hand reef break that not even the locals want to know about. If you wipe-out here, you will end up on the exposed reef on the inside. Out of the two days shooting, i filmed at least 4 surfers that got jammed up onto the inside reef. Watch till the end and you'll know what i mean. This place is absolutely mental !!

Tim Bonython is an absolute legend. My god, I’ve loved the ocean since the mid nineties and this man has been bringing me joy for at least that long. LEGEND!
When Tim first started surf photography he had a Super 8 camera and a water proof housing and he used to film us at Pondalowie Bay, South Australia at the main break in the late 70's. In those days you had to wait weeks to get your film processed and then use a Super 8 Projector that usually mangled your film, He was an Adelaide boy. Wonder if he still has that footage? And I daresay he now films exponentially better surfers than we were. (though we thought we were okay ha ha) Kudos to him he's a legend of the industry now.
@@markthomas7132 Tim's father, Kym Bonython was also a legend being a WW2 pilot, Jazz musician, concert promoter, an awesome speedway racer and a great benefactor to the Arts living to the ripe old age of 90yrs.
@@markthomas7132 Interesting Mark. Tim should be awarded for his innovativeness - hall of fame like Pricket, has he or does one have to incur a debilitating injury to get gold stars?? Grew up with his Keiki boogie footage. I have no doubt he made the skid kids
You aussies are a bit gnarly! Dry reef, sharky, cold water and unpredictably shaped slabs. Better viewed from youtube! 🤣 Awesome to hear humility out of everyone too. Ego checked at the door! Wonderful video. 🤙🤙
You sound like you’re back in 1974.
That may be one of those days where I get there, see the nightmare gauntlet, and suddenly my old back injury starts to flair up! I’d be like” I’m so angry I can’t paddle out but at least I can get good footage of everyone else!
If you think this is dangerous, ever heard of shipsterns bluff?
Don't know if you can say that without knowing the bottom contours/depth, but yer I can't believe shipsturns is an aussie baseline. Like possibly the most intimidating wave in the world, I'd not definitley top 5.
Cold water? Never would have guessed that.
The south coast of NSW and VIC is slab heaven... there is so many almost unridden slabs on this stretch .. some you can walk to but many are jet ski or boat only access.. we surfed these slabs way back in the 80s and 90s off a boat using the tinny 60hp to skurf into them before social media phone's etc.. we even shaped boards specially for tow in.
I dislocated my shoulder
. I bashed my body on the reef.. lucky to be alive.. I lived in Coffs Harbour then and we would drive all the way down to the south coast and follow it up back to Coffs... the Coffs Harbour area has more bommie slabs than actual shore slabs but they are just as brutal..and satisfying.. I don't surf anymore... been there done that cause I'm old but now I chase extreme fishing fishing spots ... fly fishing for big permit on offshore flats off the central QLD coast etc.. I love watching the young guys charge these slabs.. brings back so many memories.. camping on the headland.. a few scoops.. and fkn out there.. Go the Boyz.. love it..
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the interviews and boys’ descriptions of the experience. Well done fellas 👏👏👏
Really enjoying the blend of interviews with locals alongside the excellent footage of the waves and surfers. Thanks for all of the effort you are putting into this.
Kudos. Fuck the ocean's amazing. I loved watching the footage of boys getting washed over the rocks. Shows the power and challenges and consequences thats involved in surfing especially waves like this. Something that only surfers know and understand. Respect
Wow! Mad respect for all those surfers and boogie boarders charging it.... that's heavy surf
legends. This is surfing, wave riding & THIS is bodyboarding at its highest level, the art of the scoop on that 42in of foam is a technique that almost no one can master except blokes like these, & at the same time is the most underrated technique in waveriding outside perhaps bodysurfing tube riding. Super SICK CONTENT. thank YOU for showcasing the best wave riders in the world with no B.S. just pure action, stoke & excellane on display.
Luna park boogs been holding it down for decades
Im from Cape Town so used to rocky but not a chance i surf this size when its rocky,mad respect for you lads.
Another classic video, thanks so much for posting. I imagine you are living my dream...hanging out with the crew, catching a few waves, towing or taking pics/vids of the others, having a beer & a mack grind afterwards. Oh, and the names of the spots: Lunacy, Cape Fear, Cyclops, etc. I wish surfers could have traveled with the original cartographers, people would still be using the original maps. That's the whole point of a secret spot. Even the name is a secret. Thanks for keeping this old man happy !!
Huge respect. Those folks catching a cheese grating were so cool in that situation jeeez. So so heavy
I love the fearlessness and water skills of the Aussie surfers! Legends!
I love the comments... So fkn Aussie.. Blase as.. sliding into a wave of consequence and brushing off fear... it's called COURAGE .. guys... So much respect.. we have it .. we love it..♥️
Good lord not a chance I’d ever paddle into that ever. Insane.
Love the boogie attitude so proud to be a booger.
epic work mate thanks for putting together epic videos.
Yet another "unrideable" slab proven otherwise by boogers, not for fame or glory but for the sheer love of wave riding. Legends!
I agree. Seriously good video. Not easy to make them this good.
I love being a booger as boogers we are trailblazers for just looking at a slab and sayin fk it,....we can ride that.😂🤙
Absolutely gorgeous Tim! From the landscape to the seabreak; fabulous video, very well done. Thank you!
One of your best vids Tim, pretty sure you've saved a couple of lives in advance by sharing this...that's if people will do their research...
I’m a West Aussie and I’ll be the first to say ... that looks very heavy. Outright scary. The paddle out looks like a deal breaker for me these days. Hats off to the boys out there having a crack 👍🏼
It reminds me of Riley's wave in Ireland. A big reef and there's no forgiveness... Nature never forgives...
My kind of “Aussies,” tough as nails, and chill at the same time.
Good one Tim. After that disaster at the Cape good to see Kipp on the move. 💯🇦🇺
Nice one, Tim... appreciate your swell chasing efforts. That end section takes no prisoners, eh? Solid AF.
The scenery and particularly the changing colors of the water / waves are absolutely gorgeous. Some of the most beautiful water I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
Great production. Many thanks. Humongous kahuna's!!!
Paddled it a few times in the early '70's, wasn't my first choice but my mate loved it on his kneeboard. As he said you really have to pick your wave and commit, great video Tim, bought back a few memories of some good waves and some utter poundings.
Pioneers of absolute chaos.
Nothing but massive respect to those chargers out there. Pure and utter madness and a joy to watch ✌️
My god, you would have to be an Apostle to make that wave. Legendary.
That guy paddling in!! Geez!! Super impressed!! Total commitment!!
You mate are the biggest legend, I adore your content. Thankyou
Thanks great footage, know this area, serious power. much respect to take this place on.
Uh-oh… those damn rocks…. This is pure lunacy.
Wow Tim, you really get out and about mate, you’re an inspiration!!!
Amazing vid once more. Allowing the Surfers to comment Just creating a cool Story... Top noch music choice
I surfed that I would sit in the channel for 3 or 4 days just watching what works what doesn't.
I had a shallow slab I loved heaps but wasn't as big as this but heaps fun.
Claimed 2 boards and 2 fins. Clipped on the last section.
The boils all along the break show just how shallow it is...
A real balls-an-all wave.
Respect!
Great STUFF!! Really entertaining
This piece of film is official award worthy
great short film. Always loved Tim's work
Geez mate you're head and shoulders above anybody else doing this stuff,I just love it ,thanks.
So good to finally have your excellent camera work without excessive slow motion.
Wow! That was an epic edit Tim. Good stuff!
This is so GNARLY !!! ❤️🇺🇸🎥🔥
Veryy nice film Tim ! What a crazy spot !!
Fantastic edit, thanks Tim👍
Those shots around 9:40 are majestic and to see that alone would make the adventure worth it.
I think I would sit those wave out and enjoy the incredible views. Thanks for going there for me..
What an amazing wave! Pretty awesome landscape & great insight from the locals! Keep these great clips coming!!!
yeah, nah. respect to the maniacs taking this on! amazing stretch of coast for sure
Seriously great video 🌊
All round fantastic production.
Respect to anyone who even goes in the water there. Hard core.
Wow. Those sunset coastline shots are epic.
Thank you for sharing...this video... is going to stick in my mind, soul, and sphincter muscle far into the next galaxy! Homage to these Hombre's...!!! ✍️)))
maybe my favourite clip from your channel! nice!
The slow mo at 13:18 dude falling then lip launched !! Cool vid! Good intro and guys commenting really grounded 👍
Great video, enjoyed watching from safety. Lunacy says it all
Me seeing the amazing waves gotta keep myself over I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background.
your a legend man, all stoke. i love it
Definitely daunting! Be careful out there, swellchasers 💙🏆
Well done! Joy to watch.
The bodyboarder on the red board was killing it!
sooooo damn good!!! great work SV!........yeeeew!
Excellent format, storyline, and cinematography. I really liked how you showed the consequences of getting washed in. Really adds to the drama.
The stress level to reward ratio looks seriously lop sided
Kind of like Golf.
A challenge more than the joy of surfing, that’s for sure, looks like sand hasn’t reached that part of the ocean yet.
@@CabinOnTheWater No, absofreakinglutely NOTHING like Golf!!!
@@JohnSmith-iy4io Depends who you were playing with and what the steaks are
@@jackstrada5263 yea it totally depends on a nice medium rare bone in rib-eye.
Incredible footage!
Don't watch this before bed. Hectic. Hats off to the legends having a go.
Yeah brah!! Heavy as it gets.....
Lovin it!!: Charge On Crew!
Love your vids Tim.
Epic Tim.. you're on the pulse!
Yeah umm defently nooo
Crazy wave for sure 😮
Well done.. Great audio, cool interviews and epic footage! 10/10
Just nuts. Captured perfectly 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliantly done, a cut well above your average surf vid.
Nice one Tim. Brave dudes but I think this beastly wave definately warrants a helmet.
Amazing!
Thanks for the upload! howzit from South Africa!
Sick music...great footage...well done....
That's raw dedication Tim , 24hour hours driving.
Such a sick wave 👋
I think it is "the scariest reef slab break".
Wicked
Great film and soundtrack to match. Peace.
Thanks Tim, ya never fail to disappoint. awesome trip
If you haven’t been to this part of the world it’s hard to imagine just how gnarly and remote feeling it is. Gives off a real edge of the world vibe
That Sony 4K is unreal!!!
They should call the place "3Balls and a Pray." Good show boys!
That whole coast looks unfriendly, damn!
Epic stuff
love the interviews
Very interesting wave thank you!
Amazing, thanks
Those angry looking boils are going to leave you with PTSD!
Great vid bro, very well done.
that wave is so sick
fantastic film
Thanks a lot for the sphincter cramp
bro this lokks insane , so high quality and the colour grading couldn't be better
Awesome commentary/ footage and in general- so much details..what's the musical selection starting...💎🌿🌐🌿💎
wow amazing
Crazy Slab. They are right when they say video doesn't do it justice. Not just the wave but the arena. Guaranteed beatings when you paddle out.
Finally, footage of an epic Oz left. Can’t tell you how sick I am of only seeing Oz rights on YT!! And total props to everyone ballsy enough to pull in, fucking consequential wave. And paddle!!! Not usually a fan of music in surf vids but I reckon you nailed it perfectly this time as I reckon it’s the music this wave listens to 😉. Again, epic adventure and production (as usual). 👏👏👏
The attention at the big rights usually helps free up the crowds and coverage of the good lefts.. not this time haha!
@@exister 👍👍👍👍 Except the wannabes won’t be surfing Lunacy anytime!!! Perfect observation 😉
AHHH - THE BEST!
Aussie Mullaghmore... that’s insane
really nice video
