  • 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.

    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..

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.

    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 !!
