yeh there used to be a classic one of a long RHer up here..but they have updated the image now and its flat. i will try and find the pic cos i took a screen grab at the time.

Also you should have a little cyber wander up the coast of namibia..there are loads of left hand points.

anyone lknow where that left hander is in the new TSP gallery?

Hmm... anyone seen the newest issue of Surfing Magazine perchance? Sickness...

[Poo Stance]

Is that 30sec bazzas at skeleton bay? Sheer lunacy, want to see footage now.

[Archy_is_God]

Yeah, just realised Danny1 posted a link to the article a couple of posts up the page...

I was chatting to a saffa friend earlier today about it as he has spent a bit of time up that way. He reckons it's so off-limits due to the DeBeers security amongst other things (crazy winds and a lack of water being a couple of things )

Unbelievable wave though...

[seanf594]

i recently spent 1 & 1/2 months in namibia....about 2 weeks of that on the coast, and about 1/3 of it is pretty much off limits because of the diamonds, the area around the orange river, and about 200miles up the coast....i spent alot of time around swakupmund (really nice place), and it has some really good potential for a surf trip...driving between walvus and swakup (about 15km) i saw, 2 left points, one right reef and endless beach break set ups, i also found a nice long left/short right at diaz cross...i should probably post some photos...maybe later.

but....the water is cold....about 12 degrees...so 5mil needed, it's the shark fishing capital of the world....it has the largest seal populations i've ever seen...possibly the world...you will be surfing on your own, the currents are hectic(when the beguela's going), alot of people fish....alot, so finding empty beach near a car park can be a problem...best to 4x4 down the beach.

I didnt surf, i had no board or wet suit and i was on my tod....i know...pussy.

namibia though, was easily the best road trip i have ever done...fucking stunning country, got some top class shots out there and some wicked memories

[Archy_is_God]

Sounds really interesting, gutting you didn't have your board... the shark thing is apparently not as bad as one might think, but all those seals....?

I surfed up the SA west coast 8 or 9 years ago around Eland's and Farmer Burger's etc which was pretty sick and the water wasn't too bad as it was wintertime, August I think (I think it's way colder in the summer there because of the current)

Would love to get up to that wave one day.

That's the place Danny. Latest GE Pics are on a slightly flatter day. Here's the port that sent me searching.

Not quite workign but you see the potential. On the rigth direction and witha bit of luck it links up from outside the point right down to the pier. Some reckon this can get longer than Chicama. Didnt have it longer than 200m when i was there but the size and power was ridiculous off the swell we were getting.

[Poo Stance]

was bored so was having a scan on GE. Hope this won't upset anyone...

and a nice piccy to go with it.

[boardy]

Probably better off doing a screen grab so people can't just zoom out and see where it is.

[Poo Stance]

^^ Thats waay too much effort . You, wan me, to, take it off?

[Poo Stance]

Not GE, but a nice arial view.

didnt think it was giving any specifics away.

deleted now to save any more hassle

[Ferral]

put it this way jon, google earth is free and surfers are inquisitive. no point in giving them hints

[Schizo]
