Watch: Nothing ventured...
In 'Venture', Alasdair Evans has compiled a short selection of waves from winter 2019, featuring Kerby Brown, Ry Craike and others skirting the shallows at waves that others fear to tread.
A dubious voiceover demands attention to keyboard detail (the mute button is top right on mine).

Well that was ironic. The boys supposedly driving for hours along the coast to score waves and then the only footage was of jakes and just around the corner , less than 5 mins from their house. Towed in by JetSki which seriously mitigates the so called risk which is what the film is about.
Even that mad Slab at red bluff looked way less sketchy from above as the reef looks much further away that the close up tube shots we have seen previously would suggest
lay off the bongs bra that slab the boys surf is not ride-able and defy's logic.Its not at red bluff and kerby lives down in denmark these days. ventures definition is a risky or daring journey or undertaking which if you have ever surfed in the area would know as reasonable description of the area.
Well it’s near red bluff. Yes I’ve surfed the area . View it as a poor mans version of further north, plus it’s full of locals who don’t like to share, and do videos with dodgy voice overs
It says "venture" not "adventure". Perhaps the venture relates to the process of making money, classic Idiocracy reference: https://memes.yarn.co/yarn-clip/636b565f-601c-4c83-aa40-d4a753cae5a8
Re-right, I got the Latin preposition wrong -in light which, looks exactly like a venture.
Those fellas up there brush there teeth with steel wool, blokes don't come any harder than these fellas the northwest breeds chargers. Most of the fellas up there charge for love not money.
I loved it.
Yeah Ryes 'charging for love'.......but has made good coin doing it.
Hahaha, how's that voiceover?
They couldn't have included that with a straight face.
Haha yea I kept waiting for the voice over to stop and the music to start, and then it was all over.
Some gnarly waves though.
Slow words an octave lower, over disjointed thoughts and reef, gravitas flows.
And I thought Game of Thrones was over? "Winter is coming Kalbarri boys " (well to your pro surfing careers anyhow...
That was crap. Dodgy, messy waves and poorly made.
And hate to say it, but tow is really quite boring unless it is a truly huge slab.
Why do you guys pick & point. Just enjoy it for what it is. Short, sweet & too the point.
Why not say what you do and don't like?
Okay. What I don’t like? The voiceover as satire did not work - there was no real irony or humour. It came across as serious. As serious, it was tragically lame and cliched new age meaningless claptrap.
There wasn’t enough surfing, even in a “short, sweet” clip.
The waves themselves, as I said before, were pretty lame, especially considering the epic winter waves available all over WA surf regions.
Towing itself is pretty lame unless it’s a slab that can’t be surfed - and, yes, I have done a LOT of towing and pretty much gave up three years ago as it is boring (I am not up for surfing The Right, thank you very much) - and I am not that convinced those waves needed to be towed.
Plus, the stories I hear of those guys in waves around there from mates - I grew up there in the 80s and 90s - make me automatically have pretty significant antipathy towards them unless they are actually doing something impressive.
As a lifestyle film it is second rate. As a high performance film it is second rate. As a omigod check out those charges film it is second rate.
Just because it is made, doesn’t mean we need to see it. And I can’t know it isn’t worth watching until I have wasted a piece of my life on it.
I think I am done.
That wasn't aimed at you thedrip, I was trying to say that I think, despite modern trends, there's nothing wrong with saying you don't like something - if a vid is second rate, fair enough to call it out.
Didn't read this comment as it is longer than the clip.
Yes! Endless positivity! Just like the wsl commentary. Critisism hurts peoples feelings. :(
Feelings are more important than anything.
I love you all my fellow human beings!
Except Trump, fuck that guy! Am I right guys!?
Surely that voiceover was a piss-take. That's just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in a surf clip. Great surfing though.
Just too much w@nk factor those guys are better than that.
Yeh I don’t even think it’s a piss take, reckon they are serious which makes it even worse
Fark, if that's the case then please excuse me while I go and dry retch over the dunny for an hour.
A Power Poem by some Pom fella... wtf... a few of his phrases would make great chest tattoos....
