MEET NORTH STORM BRAND AMBASSADOR Tim Bonython – Tim Bonython Productions

Avalon Beach, NSW, Australia is where the extraordinary big surf film director Tim Bonython now calls home. As a pup Tim spent his earlier years living at Tennyson Beach in South Australia. Tennyson Beach would lay the foundations that continue to drive Tim toward the ocean today.
