Like most groms on Sydney&#8217;s Northern Beaches he was in the water at a young age, frothing on everything surf related. He is known for his down-to-earth and happy-go-lucky character in and out of the water. So it came as no surprise really to his mates, that he would do something like surf naked in the ice-cold waters of the southern tip of Tasmania, let alone surf naked in a place that is sharkey and known for some of the biggest waves on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Bonython has known Karl for about 7 years. Watching his surfing evolve as he has grown up hanging out in the same breaks and wanting to charge local waves. One day Tim and Karl sat down for a chat about how he wanted to get out there in the big wave arena and how it could fit in with what Tim does as a film maker. Tim says &#8220;Karl was just on the same page as me so I decided to take him down to Shipsterns with Dean Bowen and I knew straight away he had what it takes to play this game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tim continues &#8220;His first 2 waves were really nasty wipe outs but the third wave, it was just an amazing barrel. He was riding the tube with his hands out and a massive smile on his face. We knew he suited the big wave format, he makes it look great and that&#8217;s what we want to see on the screen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since that first trip I&#8217;ve always let him know when we are doing trips. Whenever he comes away with us he always gets good moments and looks great on camera. I&#8217;m so keen to see what he brings to the table next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tim says the Shipsterns trip that features in the ASMF with Karl naked surfing &#8220;was a great moment, he has nothing to hide down there (laughs).<\/p>\n<p>As part of one of the 4 movies in the amaysim Australian Surf Movie Festival presented by GoPro &#8211; The Journey &#8211; Karl features down at Shipsterns with Kelly Slater. His appearance adds a refreshing, LOL scene compared with the gnarly, heavy waves and wipe-outs. We couldn&#8217;t let this interview go unseen because really, we would all secretly love to surf naked&#8230;right!?<\/p>\n<div
