Wedding Cake's BIGGEST DAY

Autumn surf just keeps giving and this time its at home in Sydney. I just arrived back to Sydney from Tahiti the swell forecast was telling us that the ocean is going to erupt with some huge waves all focused directly into the Sydney City coastline (from Wollongong to Newcastle). What I did not expect is the surf to be as big as it got. Locals informed me that this swell is the biggest in decades. One Coogee local told me that their hasn't been a swell bigger since the one way back in 1974. So it was for sure an historic day to say the least and here is the evidence.
This edit features bodysurfing World Champ Kalani Lattanzi. ENJOY!

Tim you missed it mate down the coast was 12-20ft windy but epic barrels, me and the boys warmed up with a few CC’s (coffees and cones, Nescafé blend 43 if you were wondering)we were also on the piss leading up to that swell, What brothel would you recommend in the Sutherland area I need to come up and pick up some new Dylan longbottom sleds and thought it would be nice to loosen up a bit after that last swell. Keep shaggin bonightmare

Hug respect to Kalani the body surfer. INSANE

[svenball]

some of the best edits I have seen in a while. Music, ambient light, drone work just amazing. Body surfing in those waves is totally off the hook. Thanks for sharing !

[ezzafly]

Maybe the best Aussie big wave footage ever!?! Just needed Midnight Oils Wedding Cake Island song at some point. Congrats to all!

[davidlongmuir]

Was hoping you’d be back from T’po to film this swell. Didn’t see any Av footage.. - what I loved so much was that long shot of the boiling, frothing horizon with chunderous sets in the foreground. Reckon that’s the best capture of actual size and volume on tape for me. Yeah those boog and body surfers are nuts🎉 not too many taking deep ones can’t blame em. Legendary vid. Thanks so much. 🎉

First of all, kudos to all that went out. It seems when you watch it, that unless you keep up in the pocket and keep the speed up, instead of just running with it, then you seem to slow down and get mowed over.

[chrisschwarzer]

Unbelievable. Super impressed well done Wayno and Howie. Respect. Take care. Very good footage thanks

I lived in South Coogee in the 80s. The biggest I saw was the cyclone swelI just after Xmas in '88 when it was breaking in a line from South Coogee to North Bondi - no-one out - it was too big.

[lukebarton]

Cool seeing all those big pintails as well as foil board

I grew up with a view of the Bombie off Gordans bay from about 1980-88. I dont remember seeing it this big out there. Great memories!

[slydogmania]

Great footage huge waves. Still, the rides that really count are the guys that paddle in themselves, and the body surfer. Tow-in's don't cut it by comparison

[aaronmarshall]

So epic! Got to watch from the headland too

[CC-ggoj]

Great footage Tim. Bloody envious of you southerners... big and uncrowded. Cheers.

[StewartGartland]

Terrific stuff. We dont often think of Sydney as a big wave location but that sure qualifies....who woulda thought! Extremely good surf film, brilliantly put together to be fun, amazing, compelling and beautiful!
