BIGGEST SKELETON BAY in 5 YEARS! | Part 1 Namibia 2019

— Season 2: Episode 2 —

After recovering from an MCL injury, a swell popped up for Skeleton Bay, and it was my only chance to go for all of 2019. My friend Rob Brown and I dropped everything we were doing, and booked a last minute flight to Africa, only to be greeted with what would end up being the biggest Skeleton Bay swell in 5yrs.

On one of the craziest days of surfing I’ve ever gotten to be a part of, both Rob and I score waves of our lives, a few times. It was a day I’ll never forget. The GoPro footage does no justice to the size of the waves… I’m stoked to have a couple land angles to reveal the height of some, but still nothing shows the size of some of those waves in the evening.

Day 2 brought the longest barrel of my life at 24sec! Rob Brown gets one just as long too!

I’m only 7 1/2 minutes in, and I had to comment on these absolute LEGENDS for doing what looks like SUPER sketchy work, to try and help these seals with all that trash 🤦‍♂️

Paul Mavric says:

Awesome footage. You just made my EasterBreak✌️✌️👍

E3 Dave says:

As well as the awesome surf , the wildlife is cool there too👍

Mark Salsbery says:

@11:13 Seal claim!

Doc Will says:

How many miles, drive time from the town (name?) to the break?
What is ambient temp., water temp.?
Wind ferocity?
Do the beach, water smell clean or smell of rot or industrial waste?

feedbackart says:

Thanks for untangling the seals!!! EPIC WAY TO SPEND TIME AWAITING A SWELL!

Christopher Formulak says:

Why are there no Namibian surfers?

Pancho Wheeler says:

Man that was amazing seeing them saving that seal and his buddy's ,,, always remember your in their play ground when your in the line up , when you start your barbecue on the beach ,,, your in their playground so tidy up after yourselves ,ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS don't give the man an excuse to bad mouth the surf community or spoil it for others , and help out where you can , nice one Brett lad Respect, lol did ye go into a trance in the barrels first section that you missed the second, cool

Samm Salvey says:

These look like hard hitting waves. Like even if it wasn't a bug day, I bet the waves here pack a punch when smaller. A wave at the Wedge is not the same as a Namibia wave .

sammy says:

this has to be one of my favourite videos of all time, come back to it like 3 times a month

Wes Carbonell says:
