I just got off the phone . Pascal just told me …
Greg Long apparently rode a 70’ wave [!!!] … pause to regain breath , and try to get my head around just how HUUUGE that really is … hopefully that’s not 70’ hawaiian style , 30" to a foot.]
So … has anyone here seen photos of the wave in question , yet ?
here’s what they had a “Dungeons”, for the " Red Bull Big Wave Contest " there last week , apparently ?!
…now , WHERE is the video of all this , I wonder ?
cheers !

Speaking of massive Africa
Which country in Africa is largest by land mass?
Now im only asking this as I learnt it at Trivia last week.
You have 10 seconds…
Ps This is the first I have heard about the massive swell.
Well, I don't know if THIS was the actual day
Yes, apparently it is. But remember that those pics were taken from a fairly high hill overlooking the break, so you’re not getting a true representation of wave height. Even so, it’s clearly humongous.
Hi Chips
If your intrested in what is going on in teh surf sene in deepest darkest africa then check out www.wavescape.co.za. By the way the single fin goes really well I put the fin right forward on small days and 2" back when its 4fT AND UP.
Keep well
