There might be no more hellish wave in the world then Tasmania's Shipstern Bluff, with its boils and infamous step that fold and mutate the pounding wave in ways that defy human logic.
It's a special breed of surfer that possesses the mixture of catlike reflexes and bravado necessary to drop into Shipstern Bluff, and the legendary surf filmer Tim Bonython was on hand to capture an all-time session at the Aussie monster recently.
So enjoy three minutes of pumping rock music and masterful surfing by the likes of Tyler Hollmer-Cross, James McKean and Jarryd Foster to start your Wednesday. It's guaranteed to wake you up better than a shot of espresso.
