There’s a special big wave slab spot 25 minutes from my Sydney home and when all the stars align Deadman’s can seriously put on a grand show.
It only breaks good (meaning over 10 feet) every two or three years.
This swell event was big and anticipated as ever.
Deadmans lived up to all expectations. Enjoy
PS There is a mistake on a date that comes up which we are trying take out at 2.41.
PS Make sure you watch what happens at 7.50 in..OMG!

And not a jet ski in sight....Hats off my men.
WOW! The footage, the music, the surfers, the carnage! Definitely one of THE best surfing videos I’ve ever seen. Well done! Cheers from Florida 🍺
The clips drop fast and furious after the day. A few days later Tim has put together something special and it's "Hold my beer" time. Great variety of angles and as usual an edit that shows your vast experience...ah yeah I liked it.
Agree seen this footage at least 3 times before , Tim has different angles.. a story line, better music and editing, makes the footage seem completely new
I loved this! Especially the drone footage 👌
Thanks bud! Was stoked to hear from Tim and that he wanted to use my drone footage. I am on instagram if you ever want to see more 'skymonkey5'. 🐒💨
I am always so impressed with you Australian waterman and women. Toughest people I've ever seen. And yall seem fun af.
Great vid and hats off to those who paddled out! Insane! Wave ridden by Joshua Ku at 12:22 absolutely epic!
Boogers dominated🤘
So good to see this wave getting recognition from this channel. This really is a world class ledge and five mins from the Corso!
These ledge surfers are a gnarly breed. Effn nuts 👍
Don't tell the whole world!
I Love this place! I surfed so much in the 80’s and 90’s. Hope one day to surf it again before I die 🤪 67 now surfing since 1971 and still going riding a Mitchell Rae Outer Island 7’8” Quad Coral Reefer. Truly perfect for Deady’s!!!
I hear ya, 1970 for me. Good to see nothing has really changed at Manly.
Gnarly wipeouts 🤯 Can't imagine what those hold downs feel like, I'm already out of breath in the comfort and safety of my living room. 🤣
Used to surf the Bower after school with my mate Bill Farnsworth in the late 60's before leg ropes were invented. Anyway the first time we saw Deadmans surfed was very large SE swell when the Hawaiians competing at Bells happened to passing through Sydney and paddled to Winki and kept paddling south. It was a treat to behold and a level Bill and I had never imagined seeing Reno Abillera and his intrepid crew surfing where we thought was impossible.
Thanks for capturing the skill of these chargers, Tim. Definitely the best images from the day. As a mother of one of the crazies, I can only watch once I know they are safely back on land (particularly seeing how savage those wipeouts were)!
Just insane! Hats off to the drone operator for getting so close. Awesome filming
Great different angles of these muncher waves… love the Osprey with his fish casually flapping by! 😮😮😮
Epic sesh! Also great soundtrack - thanks for putting good music into surf films. (it's more rare than it should be)
Those waves are so gnarly, the gnarly couldn't even be gnarlier than this.
Now that’s a hearty crew of surfers. Mind blown 🤯
Incredible. Holding your position & not greeting the wave is something only experienced surfers master. Once you make the drop, you’ve got to be patient enough to get under 2nd gnarly ledge. Once you get under that, the white water behind you accumulates rapidly so it becomes a race against the wave. At this point you’ve barely enough time to make a bottom hand turn. Then the wave barrels intensely over you… incredible.
Stella job by all involved. Production, cameras, surfers!!!!! Amazing. Kudos.
Amazing footage and really well put together Tim. These guys are nuts! I was up on the cliff taking photos and thanks to this video, I can now tag a few of them, thanks for putting their names up
lovin it no shit like jet skies, life wests. Just natural paddling one with nature . Greetings from the south of germany.
I love all things Surfing and filming and you've stepped it up! The energy surrounding the spot and the culture is core.
F💥kn Epic 👌🏼🤙🏼
Totally brilliant!!! The interviews, the angles of filming and the music! loved it, thank you and God bless you
Love your art Tim. Always great music. It amazes me how a semi close out that not along was only ridden by those paddling over from winkipop on a crowded day has turned into a surf break that people travel for.
Tremendous video with greatfootage! Found myself leaning into the waves & gulping a breath going over the falls! Watch out for those freak waves & thanks for the great job!
Joshua Ku pulling into that closeout section is GNARLY! ! Epic filming.
A swell for the ages Always love your content
Great footage - awesome waves - you can actually see the light flashing in the edge of these - amazing surfers too; so much carnage ! AND so many who made it - thanks Tim and co- great stuff
Wow that brings back some memories.. thanks for sharing !
Brilliant edit Tim. Love the story in the story about the GP. So good it was found so that the footage could be included.
Spectacular footage, ballsy surfing, loved the interviews. Great to put a face to the chargers, they deserve recognition. Bravo 👏
Amazing video, I was holding my breath with every wipeout. At the end I got stressed. Thank you sharing.
shaking the tree good vibes all round top shelf love ya work!!!
That is incredible surfing and photography. Thank you
the risk / reward for this wave just seems fucking crazy but damn there were some utterly insane drops and slabs here. respect to everyone out there holy shit. maniacs. amazing footage! and the interviews are pure aussie
Great finally this wave getting some credit and proper footage. It's been pumping like this for years and years. Well done.

12:20 Joshua Ku, gotta be one of the rides of the day 💪🏽
Insane wave. Hardcore surfing 💥☠️🌊🏄✨
Dudes your videos are Legendary!!! Mad Video captures Drones and edits! Congrats!!! Loved every second!!! Props for the Surfers!
It's a long way, and a long time, away from "Top of Taps", Tim! Thanks for reminding us in Semaphore why we followed the coast to the ocean when we were the same age as these kids. It's a long way from the V.H. town hall to youtube too, mate. Cheers and all the best from Bossdingo.
so sick, love the interviews!
That looks like an incredibly difficult wave to surf! Great music! Well done Mates! Good on Ya Lads!
Amazing work. Heavy wave/setup. That trip over the falls at 4:30 hurts every fiber of my soul and being. Not usually a fan of that type of music, but that shit was banging. Great job, subscribed!
Aussie Chargers. These guy's are fearless. Great footage and edit's. Thanks.
Always the mad vision from you mate. Awesome footage of an awesome day of charging. Young to old
Wildly beautiful.
I wouldn't DREAM of surfing that wave when I was that kid with the long hair's age. I wouldn't dream of it now, unless it was in my nightmares.
Fantastic video to showcase a truly epic day. Well done.
That was almost a killer interview... Great footage, Cheers.
Hey Tim some great waves their, certainly got a bit of a Mully look to it!
Boogs were dialed in.
Amazing video ! Love it ! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Josh ku’s wave would have to go down as one of the biggest slab waves ever ridden off syd!
12'+!!!
many of the biggest waves ridden this day would be in that category yeah ?!
No words. The best.
Great video Dan! [whatever excuse youneed; we all saw the wave coming~] Deadman & you definitely delivered the delights!
Loved the video, nice editing and tracks! Subscribed 👌
'Onya Tim . Another Quality Fillum.....Pumping them out to the masses mate , Kudos to you .. Cheers.
Awesomeness for the editing and especially for those surfers grinding it out👍
Last time I went out at Deadmans on a big day I got washed up on the rocks and barely survived and it was half the size of these ones. The guys really showed how it should be done. Thanks Guys and Tim for another awesome show
David, Is the choppy, rough quality of the the wave characteristic of this spot, or was the choppiness only this day? Does it get more glassy?
@@mr.h3134 Actually it can get glassy. This was a massive storm tho and this generally works on a SE so usually a bit messy. But chop is not the issue, its the surface contortions of the wave. I honestly have not been able to push over the lip into all but one and I pulled off straight away as I approached the buckle.. Kudos to those guys dropping into this swell. Crazy! I'll never be able to haha
@@jamesreynolds6195 Ok, so the “buckle” occurs regardless of it being a choppy or a glassy day.
@@mr.h3134 Yeah, its the ledge bottom, nothing to do with wind
Excellent presentation!!!
Fantastic video. Loved it.
Totally insane... The first music seemed to strangely mach the insanity verry well, awesome video.
The last clip is my favorite. What a shot!
Great piece of cinema.
Good tunes 🤙 great upload👌
great visions and surfing, well done
Great soundtrack. Perfectly ominous...
Mate, epic edit. Got me! Subscribed. Bring em on..

So many incredibly well ridden waves that are by no means perfect or easy. These giant shallow, thick and heavy as fuck waves are insane. Props to everyone who went out!!!
