• “Binnsie is the kinda guy who can pull together a great crew and shoot on short notice. A superb storyteller, with an understanding of the importance of it, he’s an ideas man who can handle remote and challenging locations. He’s a highly flexible operator and equally adept with both land and water productions. Can’t recommend him highly enough!"

    Rick Rifici, Award winning Director Of Photography

  • "I've worked with Chris Binns for over 15 years in various capacities and his work ethic, ability to create and ability to connect with people is second-to-none. In more recent years as a freelance content producer and editor for Red Bull Surfing, he has been a critical asset to our team. He is one of the few industry professionals that both understands how big media companies and brands work, and can still deliver surfing content that is still credible and engaging."

    Anthony Sedgwick, Executive Producer, Red Bull Media House

  • “Chris is a true storyteller. An incredible asset on productions both in front of and behind the lens. Chris has the ability to not only direct and manage creative elements, but run budgets and get the most out of every project and its crew. He has great understanding of end-to-end production, taking projects from ideation to production and post. Having worked with Chris on a number of projects for clients including Land Rover and Red Bull I couldn't recommend a better bloke to have around a team, and to get a job done with style.”

    Jimmy Mellowes, Managing Partner and Co-Founder RCKT Co

  • “The Editor of a monthly magazine is a special human being. Apart from being an articulate communicator with exceptional writing skills and the capacity to work very long hours, an Editor must be an expert multi-tasker, a project manager, a diplomat, a team leader, and capable of operating with attention to detail while at the same time remaining on course with the bigger picture. If they’re not firing on all cylinders, all of the time, they cannot last. Not on a monthly magazine.

  • "In surf publishing an Editor must be able to operate well in an industry full of characters, and liaise with some of the best athletes in the world if they are to have any success at all. They must be able to work on the road, at events, at competitions and awards nights, and Chris has shown repeatedly he doesn’t want to just to take on these challenges, he wants to excel at them.

  • “After editing Surfing Life I feel Chris could work on any magazine and make a big difference, but more importantly I feel he has the tenacity, work ethic, intelligence and above mentioned skills to do far more.”

    Craig Sims, General Manager and Publisher, Morrison Media

  • “I have known Chris Binns for 15 years and in that time we have worked together on various projects and travelled together a few times too. I’ve found Chris to be reliable and trustworthy in applying himself to all projects. He always delivers what he promises and I find that very honourable. I recommend Chris as a hard worker, and believe he can achieve whatever he puts his efforts towards.”

    Mick Fanning, World Surfing Champion 2007, 2009, 2013

  • “I have had the distinct pleasure of getting to know and work closely with Chris Binns over the last ten years. During that time I’ve come to know an individual who is committed to authenticity and professionalism, with a passion for the sport of surfing that allows him to express its finer points with a truly unique voice. His writing is top notch and fair, and his ability to carry that over in front of an audience allows him to shine. With his deep well of relationships with athletes, and reputation in and out of the surfing community, I am truly excited to see where he takes his act next, whether it be in surfing, the media or further afield.”

    Selema Masekela, Host, Red Bull Signature Series

  • “Chris is great to work with, and has given fantastic support to all of my projects in the time I’ve known him. He really knows what he is doing and his energy and ideas are inspiring. Above all he gets along with people, and would be an asset wherever he ends up, in a creative field or beyond.”
