Location: Shipsterns Bluff, Tasmania, Australia
Shipsterns is a tow-wave, right? That’s why we haven’t seen much of it on Innersection yet. Then here comes Victorian devil Sandy Ryan with this all-Shippies session. It’s as much a tribute to the spot as his own hellmanship. Then he closes it out by bringing us inside the wave with him…an amazing clip angle, for sure.
“Sandy is Shipsterns most regular regular,” says filmmaker Simon Treweek, “even though he doesn’t live in Tasmania. He’ll fly into Apple Isle on the sniff of a swell, ensuring he’s in the lineup before the sun rises and until it sets.” Guess that’s what you need to do to score clips like this. Sandy and Ryan are currently working on a full-length movie about this form of insanity, called Sally. Look for it out later this year. www.sallythemovie.com

That’s mental. GoPro tube shot at end is best I’ve seen.
He’s also one of the biggest legends you’ll ever meet!
Cannot express how badly I hate the added post warp effect. The wave and riding are impressive enough – why get cheesy and gimmicky? Would have closed the window as soon as it started, but wanted to see end POV… which was also tainted. Fail
maddness > raddness.
(what’s-up with the hate LMB? i mean does everything have to be done your way?)
Best paddle-in shipsterns I’ve seen. Look forward to the movie!
Too bad LMB. Waah! Great footage, taking his lumps along w/ some superb rides. Very nice. Heaving, nasty Ship’s at it’s best.
Stupid effects ruined everything!!!!,,,,they have no place in a video like that. fail
Check back now – the warp effect was not part of the original edit – not sure what happened but seems to be all good now
Cheers
Simon
