    My bad. Sorry Cep, Didn't mean to steal the thunder.

    But is there a longer/better barreling left anywhere else in the world? Chopes and cloudbreak get pretty sick. G-Land? Some Secret spot in Bali or Indo?


    AGREED, EBOLA e-smowla

    Namibia is supposedly a very hard get to spot,i done all the research after I saw that corey wave.u need a permit from the gov just to get on that piece of land.then u have to cross some big asz dunes and finally make it to the beach,then u have to try to catch the wave,which I heard is impossible unless ur mr slater or koa smith lol

    Skeleton bay is an insane wave. That first wave, speechless. You got one of the best barrels in the world and this retro crystal voyager pink Floyd thing going on. It was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

    The fact someone used one of my favorite words (primordial) in a post on illiterate SI made my day. Keep it up bro. Words are good.

    Can't get over how clean that barrell is.

    Holy F'n $!
    For a wave like that, bring on submarine sized GW's and an Ebola break out.

    Funk it.

    No problem. I used to know words. I still do, but I used to also.

    its weird we start talking about Africa,and now theres a thread from an African on African wave camps lol.its one thing seeing it on the side ads,but its coming to another level.a Namibian camp would be cool,but that would destroy the glory of that wave.a wave like that deserves an expedition to get to it

    why would catching a wave there be almost impossible? challenging, yes, but it's doable. You just need more foam. foam is your friend.
