On the raw, windblown edge of Tasman National Park, a wave breaks with such violence that it’s regarded by many to be one of the heaviest waves on the planet.

Shipstern Bluff is home to a few insane locals, along with a handful of others that come to surf it when it breaks properly. Mick Fanning, Mikey Brennan, Laurie Towner, and a lot more faced off against Shipstern Bluff in some of the craziest conditions it can offer.
