"Tube time."
We truly do live in the future where cars are driver-less, meat is plant proteins and chonks can get barreled at Teahupo’o from the comfort of their couches. But just last month, and every month before it, chonks had to fly to Tahiti then hire a car to take them to “the end of the road.”
Once there, they had to hitch a boat ride into that fearsome channel, paddle into the lineup, swing on a watery beast and let it swing right over them in order to get a glimpse from inside of that magical tube.
As of October 1st, that vision can be experienced via the virtual reality headset Apple Vision Pro and all thanks to Red Bull.
Shot in 3D at 8K with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio, Big-Wave Surfing was filmed in Apple Immersive by Salt + Air Studios and utilized the likes of Michel Bourez, Molly Picklum, Jack Robinson, Matahi Drollet and more.
“Filming in Apple Immersive really pushed us as filmmakers. The swell, wind and weather all had to cooperate, and we needed the athletes and cameras in the right place when that opportunity came. Any little shake and you lose the viewer. We had to put ourselves in the right spot even if it meant getting swallowed [by the wave], because one drop on the lens ruins the shot,” Salt + Air Studios declared.
But will you, yourself, sell all your surfboards and go and purchase an Apple Vision Pro headset?
The 256GB version runs around $3600.

Beat me to it by 10 hours. Dang.
Ya gotta be quick! Like a whippet in a blender!
The chaos in the comment section since the departure of the moderator Negatron is the result of allowing the semi-feral savages to play in the sandbox unsupervised.
Comments are completely off-topic, tedious and irrelevant personal soliloquies are aired along with reams of completely marginal AFL news, which trust me on this one; is of zero interest to anyone outside Australia.
Many commenters have left, seemingly for good as the lack of moderation and the botched handover to a new system has left them confused and discouraged.
Why bother to contribute to this shitshow?
The only way to salvage the situation is to hire a capable moderator and pay them what they are worth – you had one in Negatron, and you let him go.
Don’t make the same mistake again.
It was NRL last night you relic. Now back to the classroom so the kids can study your skeletal remains.
Equally irrelevant –
True dat
And you said that as Victorian
I really miss Negs, how can we go on without him?
LeAnn Rimes will show you the way.
Although I never agreed with you selling you exposé books here, you’re not wrong about the fact that Negs was holding it together John.
It’s a pity he got pushed out the way he did, causing this place to be turned into more of a personal diary for the bored.
Then the recent format change seems to have made it worse unfortunately.
Fingers crossed it can return to more balanced input from all and make it a place to enjoy again…
For once mate I completely disagree with ya. This place was humming along nicely and comments were way up there before this comment change and drama. I of course will have a different opinion than most cuz I got called a sleaze and banned for life for making a very innocent joke to someone that is a mate on here and just happens to be female.Negs reaction was so fucking over the top it was like I had tried to sexually assault someone.
Also he didn’t get pushed out he decided to step down which is a very different thing. Hey I’ll be honest he didn’t like me from the start and I couldn’t stand him so its no skin off my nose and if he was still here I wouldn’t be so of course my opinion is gunna be different to most
Our nickname for you is Mork, heehee.
Comments were way up because YOU and CRAY post way to much.
Who has that kind of time.. Sifting through the spewge is relentless these days! They need to be sent to the cornered mirror and comment to themselves for a long while. And maybe then they will realize to tone it down..
Thank you – “Although I never agreed with you selling you exposé books here, you’re not wrong about the fact that Negs was holding it together John”
How you bothered to obtain a copy of my book, that you so casually disparage as an “exposé”?
If you actually bothered to get a copy and read all 60 000 words, you would know – it is not an “exposé” at all.
SOLD OUT on Amazon Australia –
Temporarily out of stock.
We are working hard to be back in stock as soon as possible.

Add fin boxes to the nose of a board too and make them symmetrical like a skateboard!\
So much Switching going on. Next level. And No leggies either..

Future WSL Collab/quasi CS tour stop in 2027?…
I’d rather buy piss and surf closeouts.
Fuckn Oath
Hahaha I also got locked out yesterday after 2 reply comments for posting too often. Slow down.
I waited 30 mins, then a few hours. Signed out and couldn’t get back in.
I am fuckn glad too because my comment was kinda rage inducing….
There hasn’t been much action here since Gwen melted down after someone called her a “Boomer”
Apart from the obvious, of course…
This is Fuckn Beach Grit BTL
It is not fuckn Wikipedia or “The Paris Review” for elite literary writers.
This is not ““The Paris Review” for elite literary writers” –
As a published author of a best-selling book about international surf travel, “Nous ne pouvons que rêver d’une telle magnificence”
We can DREAM beyond what is capable JSC.
You have to mix the GOOD, along with the BAD to achieve such things mate

Cock a doodle doo!
Thats what happy rooster say when morning come after knight.
Yes I am Chas. I am going to sell all my boards, and my soul, and drive frantically to the Apple Store up on the Goldy to purchase one of these life changing devices.
Not only will it stop me having to get up in the dark at stupid o’clock in the hope of getting a quick hour in the water before work it will also eliminate the very real possibility of me getting chomped to death by a very large and angry shark. Best of all though it means my car will never again be full of all that disgusting sand that just seems to get everywhere
Thanks so much for looking out for us all Apple and Red Bull and making all our lives so much easier and more convenient, its appreciated
Still waiting for KI news???
Let’s face it, the best trips are usually hard work, and there is often the making of lemonade from lemons.
Like getting cheated out of your chosen class of rental car and served with a Mitsubishi Mirage, which I cursed until I saw the fuel mileage.
As with any good rental car it got put through the paces and got us where we needed to go.
Road trips are the best…
Are they shooting a pacific rimming sequal there ?
well now we know where strayan’s barrel ‘pic’ came from. No wonder he didn’t want it posted. Must have been beta testing the vr
Hahaha don’t reckon the tech was around 20 years ago when that was taken mate and even if it was there isn’t a chance I could have worked out how to use it
Butt BatCunt had that kind of technology in his BatCunt Cave
think of you a lot sc , cuz my little ones love the show bluey and right now everything theyknow about Australia they learned from Bluey – going to be a rude awakening one day , ha
…encore.. !
VAL’s and retired DERELICTs are encouraged to join in? Red Bull are groomers now. Just like Megan Fox (in red spandex) promoting erectile dysfunction. But for investors, keep Apple going thru the roof. Retirement can be expensive~wiiiings needed. Old guys (used to) RULE.
Health advice? “Go sugarless…”
Lizzo would go!
Nah. All my money is going to gas, food, and beer. Thought dumpty was gonna lower prices? Mike? Happy? Otto? Anybody there? Ya guys all fleeing the sinking ship like Rogan, Stallone, Theo?
“But are you experienced?” Have you ever been?
Short term pain for long term gain. How short is “short” working itself out right now.
Explicitly detail what this long term gain is
End of Islamofacists turning their ultra enriched uranium into a weapon, end of them funding Hamas, Hezsbollah, Houthi’s…
When the regime gets replaced with more moderates peace and prosperity for region. At least that what my Iranian friend would like.
Bahahahahaahhahaaha this is one of the craziest and most insane things I’ve ever read on here, Donny can’t even change his undies on his own let alone alone get a regime change over there.
If you truly believe that the Fanta Menace has crippled the entire worlds economy simply cuz he wants the Middle East to be more peaceful and gives an absolute fuck about the people over there then you are off you’re fucking head.
Love me Seppo mates on here and genuinely feel sorry for yous having to live among Donnys cult members. On the other hand this was allowed to happen in your own country so have to admit like sooooo many others around the world my opinion of America has hit rock bottom after this absolute cunt was somehow voted in for a second time. The sheer worldwide carnage he has caused is just beyond comprehension and fuck knows how it will ever be turned around?
Donny is gonna save your shit hole country as well.
From what I can tell the only people Orange boy has managed to put a chokehold on is his own constituents wallets and more than several families with dead children in Iran. Oh, and the rest of the planet while continuing to drive anti-American sentiment further and further down into Hades.
If we install a new government in Iran (hmm, that hasn’t been done before by the West has it?), all we’re doing is fermenting another Islamist backlash. Majority of the country is traditionally religious and not silver spooned cosmopolitan Persians who make up a lot of the diaspora.
Fuck diplomacy I guess. Another can of lighter fluid into the communal fire of zionists, American imperialists and Islamofascists who are all heads on the same dragon of greed and lust for power.
Tell me how bitchin your head of state is. Probably a cuck.
Same as yours and he’s an embarrassment for America and her people
Come on Bond he really is trying and doesn’t even take his presidential wage for all his hard work. Like with on here maybe a little patience is required at times?
They’re all living in shame. I know a guy who was reluctant to vote for the orange fuck in 2024 because he thought that protecting Ukraine was paramount. He didn’t understand why they didn’t want to continue fighting the old enemy. Now he’s proper depressed, and it’s likely because they realised their guy wasn’t “conservative” at all. In any form or manner. Whole worlds shattered.
Where is this Shame place, Never heard of town called shame, is in hollywood?
Florida.
Is that where you are now John John Jackson?
Weren’t you NY City the other day! Or was that New York State?
Or has it be renamed to “New Trump Town” or some shit like that already
I was in NYC last week. At The Boardroom Show this weekend.
I captioned this photo “NYSE v. Church”.
I light joss stick for Barnys depress friend in Florida
In Australia on the news they interviewed an “expert” and his advice was along the lines of this….
“If food costs are ruining you budget with the increased prices, then just don’t each as much as you normally would, and stretch your food over 2, even 3 meals for your family”.
Hahahah COOL so just be hungry all the time but you are still alive
We’re supposed to get backyard chickens and grow our own vegetables.
Which we all used to do too in suburbia
Till complaints about the Roosters, and the smell and the chook yard needs to be 7M from a boundary fence (impossible now)
And honestly it is so much cheaper to buy Veges and fruit from a Farmers market, because the bloody possums and lovely birds eat all of it without nets.
Then it is the Snails, Slugs, and Caterpillars you gotta deal with.
But if you got the land and good soil. It is a NO BRAINER
We are so lucky we can still get FREE water from the SKY! haha
Chooks cost waaay more to buy their food than they return till you have over 30, and can sell 2 dozen a day to pay for them.
And you’ll need at least 50sqm of vege to get anything decent too…
Or wear mask so food not go in.
The right spot can be HEA-VYYYYY .
Burp
Fart?
