Massive waves hit Sydney on the 15th of July. I missed the last few big swells. This time I was able to venture out and witness mother nature put on a show.

Used to surf (paddle in) there (Deadmans) in the early 1970's, 80's and 90's always had it to myself. Sometimes someone would paddle over from Winkipop then paddle back after looking over the drop and at the cliff face. Told everyone the secrets of how to handle it then more started to surf there. Stopped surfing there 2000's when a jetski dropped in on me and the same day had a tow rope burn across my neck. In my seventies now, still ride a short board and big waves on the guns but the days are numbered and ability getting worse. Burt Burger's uncle, BOOMA.
Awesome John. Far out! Inspiring little story. Hoping I can jump on the board at 70.
Aye John. I stopped surfing in 1975 (didn't know it then). I'm 66 now and I can't even take off on a soft little wave in my dreams. But I still climb 5.12!
@@randydewees7338 Randy at your age you need to pick an activity or sport that you like and do it even though sometimes you just don't feel like it. Your brain is your body's enemy as it's always telling you to do nothing and eat junk food. What I do is trick it by saying to myself I won't go far on the cycling, I won't lift much in my gym or I just take the board and just look. But once started always end up with a good session. Hope this helps in future if the climbing wanes.
@@johnboom6777 I hear you. I started rock climbing in 1973 and that's been my life sport. I'm not the man of my youth, but climbing is mostly mental (the rest is in your head), and I'm climbing better, if not harder, than ever. I'm a restless type and will go down fighting, it's sad to see my friends give up as they get older, It's fantastic you are surfing at a high level. Well I know the coordination and timing to ride a short board. And the commitment of big waves - I was just starting to dabble in big waves. I grew up near the beaches of Orange County, learned at Doheny 1969, was a Salt Creek local. I never imagined I would have such a short surfing career. I blame my wife - we marriage 1977, and we just went climbing and mountaineering forever after. Later she found ultra running and does that craziness still running 100 milers at age 64.
@@randydewees7338 Good to see you and the wife active. Have to admit my interest in Natural Bodybuilding/ powerlifting has helped with the big/giant waves. President ANBB and worked in The Empire State Building for Natural Physique, Exercise for Men magazines. If you could have a swim between climbs it may help, Vit D improves covid resistance. Sea water has a lot of magnesium, a body essential. Cold water swims resists onset of dementia. Kudos to your wife for all those miles. ( I run like a duck ).
Had to rewatch the wave @3:20 20 times. That comes out of nowhere and looks like Shipstern Bluff. Insane skill to read that and ride that, and the shot capturing the others looking down the wave at him tops it off.
Cheers K! Epic wave hey.
The guy at the end did all the hard work, then straightened out. He'll see that footage & realise he could have made that.
I reckon the slow mo makes it look easier said then done.
He had the line & the speed. I suppose we'll never know.
I keep imagining him doing a l floater off the little double lip. That would have set him up perfectly 😕😲😐😬🤕😛😀🤪 Thanks heaps for watching the vid Ryan. Cheers.
:((((( yep
Yeah, but he gets an attaboy for the stall to pull in at 3:25. I reckon he'll get it right some other time.
The Last Ride was insane!!
He just squeezed through hey. I watched that clip a few times over during the edit. I commented earlier saying he should have done a floater off that little lip.
Should have stayed higher
Shoulda stayed in it. Nice stall and ballance though
Those last one had me hypnotised as well.
He really fucked up. Would’ve been the best wave of his life!
These guys bleed nothing but raw talent.. wow, thanks for sharing this vid !!
My pleasure Nic. Thhankyou for a having a watch.
I think I have been there
3:22 Wave looks mesmerizing and dangerous, great shot 💯🏄🏼🎥
Amazing footage!
Wow, I think I've just seen the best surfing vid ever!
Thats a big call Dan. But thanks the compliment. Appreciate peeps watching my little movies.
beautiful footage! what a day
Great capture nice angles Woot Woot....
Great footage Ash. You might have missed the last few big swells, but I can't be convinced that the last guy won't regret missing the barrel of a life time, for the rest of his life. And the poor bugger'll have your video to torment him. Too cruel.
It's good proof to show his Grandkids what pop used to get up to.
Incredible images!! thanks
Thanks for watching!
Awesome footage. Big balls guys.
Wow thanks used to serve many years ago nothing like this well done guys
3:21 is fricken gnarly!

Thanks Darren. It was an exciting one to make.
I remember these waves there was a GIANT storm around sydney
Damn that second wave his probably the heaviest and thickest Swell I've ever seen the pure power is seriously intimidating no beginners allowed LOL
3:21 the moment you’ve been waiting for

Awesome filming bro loved it, but was too short 👌🏾
Cheers Weka. Yea there's a fine line between too long. Too short and just right!
Sick.....thankyou
Insane story telling man, Was like watching a symphony. Music was bang on, works with the sound of the ocean without taking away. Fucking hectic man
Its so good being out there seeing the big waves.
Also thanks heaps for the Feedback Liam.
Awesome editing!!!
Appreciate the comment Moritz. Cheers.
Man awesome footage dude
Appreciate the watch. Thanks Henry.

Cheers Calixte!

2:45 clean sweet drop, such odd wave
Nice vid. Thanks Ash. IMO, the sounds of nature are much more interesting than whatever that "music" was.
Cheers
Awesome video!!!
Thanks the watch Gerard.
Amazing
HEAVY!!!!!
Amazing barrels.
Man and I find a 4ft swell scary lol
Same! 3 ft is just right.
Great shots
Thanks heaps Ross.

Sick edit I was excepting at least 10 more mins of footage though
Cheers Vincente! Yea 10mins might have been a push. Will do another vid down the track.
Insaneeeeeee
Great video ash
Cheers Shades. Looking forward to the next big swell. Might have to get wet. :P
Epic
Thats awesome ! Hope you been well lad catch up soon !
Cheers Ibby! Yea we'll go for a coffee at some point. Probably 2022 at this rate
Like Jetsurf?
Look at the outline of the board at 2:02. Is that recent, or a 70's Lopez shape?
This is sick as
I thought the same thing. It was so good being out to see it happening.
You're welcome heaps!
Good job 👍
Cheers James. I'm thinking about a refurbished edit soon. Less music more soundscapes...
Yeah damn chick. If I was the husband and that little fella our own, no, that won’t work, cause then, where the hell was I? But we all saw that. But did you hear the kids melon tether ball that pole! Epic edits money. Epic edits.
Last bloke should've pulled in, was there to be made...(+edit) but who am I to judge from the safety of my cosy bed with on a laptop! (++edit great footage btw!!)
Thanks Newell.
Should 've Pulled in!!!!!!!!,,,Wonder what Happened there??......
That late wave was the best and it was wasted.
That white wash is frightening
Suh much power
Sick footage! Last wave is epic!! What camera / lense are you using? ✌
Cheers. Canon 90D and a Canon kit Zoom 250mm and a sigma art 18-35mm and Rode Mic perched ontop.
@@ashmellross3273 Cheers Ash!
Rare to see that double lip form there. Prrrty
I'd never been out there before. It was awesome to see. Yea That double lip shot was full on. Thought I was at Shipsterns for a minute. Mad save from the lad surfing.
@@ashmellross3273 for sure. Full courage
outstanding balance at 3:30
Mad little moment hey. He should have done a floater though. :P
Narly dude!
Fantastic, what camera did you took in the car? Nice one
Canon 90D. Cruising around in a Toyota Tarago.
What an intro
Those waves off the rock pool are epic hey. I was chuffed to be down there.
Aussies go so hard surprised any make it to be adults!
👍👍🏿
0:34 dooonk!
Damn Dead Man's is smoking
3:21 his tail-stall setup was on point but then he dodged the next section so hard. Musta been his foot placement, looked sketch
Yeah, dude was doing a classic poo-stance
Jeff Clark would ripit
those were not small waves at the start
Big winter
It was a spectacular 2 months July and August. I missed the waVes earlier in the year. The one where Kelly Slater was snapping boards at Avalon. I saw some of the fOotage from that nd was like "I gotta get some of that next time!"
Skip to @2:00 for any actual surf
If the women at the 35 sec mark is that kids mother then she needs to be tested for the existence of a brain or parts there of ... if she is not related to that child then she could well be a hero... why is it these thrill seekers give no regard at all for those that may have to dig them from the shit they get into??
I found it also very disturbing, like why the fuck would you even think about it
I was about to leave a heartwarming comment for that boof. Damn man. Dogs are always coming before the fuckin kids these days. Kid first Gloria! Shit! Come on!
Wouldn't worry too much about people like that. Natural selection will get em eventually. 😉👍🏽
The biggest waves are in Nazzarè Porugal !
For sure! The footage that comes out of Nazzare' is mind blowing!
@@ashmellross3273 perché mi insulti ?
3:22 You have to be kidding me. That did not happen.
No way this is Bronte bro
Its full on hey. The Bronte part is the guys at the ocean rockpool.
@@ashmellross3273 everything but the rockpool was fake
i was surfing malabar
How was it? Do you recognise any of the guys in this vid. Be nice to share it with them.
the goofy has it dialed in
Yea he's good hey. He digs in.
That beanie haha
Hand knitted to perfection. The dog just ate a hole in it though. Spew'n.
2:59 holy shit
How are brazzos beating you guys on tour. The average Ozzie surfer is so good.
I'd say most if not all these surfers are above average. Av surfers wouldnt charge these waves. Would they? Who knows.
Flip my dog! Respect!
Sorry to be critical. It’s so easy online but no matter what you play, someone people will be unhappy with it. I like music that takes a prominent backseat the the images. Nothing too spacey. Instrumentals, jazzy tunes.
All good Bob. Like you said there's always going to be an alternate option to the music and soundscape. Some people have stated the sound and music were spot on. Some like something a little heavier and others appreciate just raw natural sounds. Thanks for watching the vid though.
They call it Deadman’s as years ago they found a human skull lodged into the reef out there. You have to be a local to know that son.
Far out. Thats full on.
Terrifying
Agree. I asked one of the guys prepping for the rock pools "How you feeling"....he replied "a bit nervous"
Kooooks ahaha
can i go here god?
for about sixty seconds.
Is Deadmans what we used to call the Fairy Bower? My last big ride was this day? Went to SVN and lost my balance. Link: kzhead.info/sun/e62ShdWolmOBi2w/bejne.html
Wow Phil. That was epic. Pretty sure it's the same spot. That boat rolling through was next level.
llshit, been there
The girl at 00:41.
Would have scared the shite of them.
At 01:30 what happened to those guys? I mean, this is actually a fucking dangerous situation when you get hit by such a wave the power could take you out into the ocean and then you could easily get killed. Why were they standing there?? It's strange. If you're in the ocean with those waves and the rocks everywhere, I don't think anyone could survive that...
Mostly they would get rolled around inside the rockpool. There was one moment when one guy was dragged over the pool edge and into the open ocean. That could have ended badly. But luckily it was only a bit of a thrill and he surged back to the railing and back over into the pool.
Ash is right! I've surfed Bronte on really big days! There is a local fitness trainer by tge name of Troy. He is very fit and a keen local surfer. I've surfed huge Bronte a few times with him. Please don't get me wrong, you need to have so much experience (I used to bodyboard for thirty years plus, grow up on the south coast of NSW) to be fit and a strong swimmer. When Bronte is big, it breaks way out back down the southern end and once I jumped off the top, where you see a local jumping the fence on the rock pool, I landed on a rock ledge and scraped my shine. Lucky for me I was smart enough to use my knowledge of the ocean and cushion my impact by landing on the broken wave rushing over that ledge but to my surprise, it wasn't enough and I felt rock.. the eastern beaches of sydney are small beaches and with huge south swells, it doesn't work too well, I prefer the big open beaches/reefs and point breaks south of wollongong
I live in bronte it’s never that big
Specialists
Indeed. Good to watch.
Hope nobody got hurt
I didnt hear of any injuries out there. Could have definetly been injuries.
@@ashmellross3273 awesome shots for sure!
Yea Rose. The big swells are so good to watch. Especially when the surfers get out there. I did hear of injuries out at Cape fear the next month. I managed to get out therec and film too.
Fok!
What happened to surf vid music? This shit needs some pennywise!
I had Tool and parkway drive as temp tracks. But they're licences cost the moola... The moneys. So Opted with Had with a different vibe.
@@ashmellross3273 Not a jab at you! it has been the way for the past ...decade? Cant imagine paddling out in anything of consequence with Jack Johnson or reggae stuck in my head.
Been out in surf, seen surf this big in Santa Barabra (big Wed 97 or so). Seeing people here in wetsiuts makes me think people need more respect for mother ocean (or just are stupid).
Hey JFrost, you probably don't understand that in certain coastal towns we 'grab the chain' for fun as kids, boys and girls do it. The wave hits you and just slams you back over the rock and into the rock-pool (carved out by convicts) each has its own local name. From then on you just scramble in the white water so you don't get sucked out into the ocean and into a world of shit. It as been going on for generations.
whatever
