Shipstern’s Bluff is not for the faint of heart. In fact, you have to be slightly crazy in the head to step foot anywhere near this monster of a slab. Set against one of the most dramatic backdrops in the world, it’s a massive wedge that runs right into a slew jagged rocks. The reef creates thick steps in the middle of the wave, which make for some of the most entertaining rides in the world. During a session that is being called the day of the year, Laurie Towner, Jay “Bottle” Thompson, Brent Dorrington, Tyler Hollmer-Cross, Ryan Hipwood, Marti Paradisis, and Danny Griffiths, among many others, show the world that they’re some of the baddest (and craziest) mofos on the planet.
