DESENSITISED | Kipp Caddy on #TheSearch for the Perfect Ride | Big-Wave Surfing | Rip Curl

A journey to the wave of a lifetime.

DESENSITISED, is my debut surf film. This documentary-style film follows my evolution from a fearless 13-year-old to a seasoned big-wave surfer. Centered around three iconic Australian breaks that have defined my career, it showcases my path into the world of big-wave surfing.

Thrown into the deep end as a young teen, gaining confidence with every wave. At 14, I took that confidence to one of the world's most iconic surf spots in Australia, Shipstern Bluff. Normally, it's an unwritten rule that you have to paddle the place before towing, but that first day, I was let off the hook as it was unpaddable, witnessing surfing legends like Marty Paradisis and Tyler Homer-Cross catching 20-foot waves. Fast forward a decade, and now find myself in a position chasing down those set waves.

DESENSITISED is a tribute to 10 years of trials, triumphs, and relentless dedication. Experience the highs and lows of my surf journey as I chase the ultimate ride and push myself to see what's possible in the realm of big-wave surfing.

Of course, this is just the beginning. Follow along as I continue living The Search.

What an incredible film, Kipp! Congratulations. 👏👏

[treeharmony]

Impressive is an understatement. Best surf film in a long time.

Back again to watch that mesmerizing slow motion wave at 02:16 to 02:21 - I think I'm seeing for the first time in my life how vortices form right about mid-face of the tube - one of them even appears to fully emerge into the tube but standing upright like a tornado at 02:21. Then of course that drop at 02:31 - I'd like to see how he positioned himself to catch that and paddling for it

[ozdietitian]

Epic movie, awesome story, great job !

That was incredible in so many ways. Inspirational would be an understatement. The innate sense in which you accept, embrace, live and breathe the challenge of mastering these waves...I am in awe of. Coming up for air after heavy beatdown at Shippies fists raised (still a grom ffs), complemented by closing shot/wave and your thoughts...is a gift to mankind. Kinda funny and amazing you had to close your eyes and "ride blind" for the moment you achieved this self-imposed yet unavoidable challenge. Well done mate. And thanks again to you, ya dad, Ripcurl and all involved 🤙🏻
