Big wave season warm-up at Sunset, South Africa

Friday 5 May saw sublime conditions at Sunset Reef in Cape Town, South Africa, to usher in the Southern Hemisphere winter. The local big-wave crew would no doubt classify this a "fun" day to clear the cobwebs, but there were a few waves of consequence and even the odd barrel or two. While Dungeons (located across the bay) undoubtedly holds more size, Sunset has yet to be ridden to its full pote...

    At 10m33s (should start video at 10m28) a surfer is on the wave and a 2nd surfer suddenly appears standing up and applauding at the crest of the wave… Bloody glitch in the matrix ua-cam.com/video/lQriqWOoOkI/v-deo.html

    In May of 1971 I took the bus from Oaxaca city to Puerto. I didn't have a surfboard but a had fins for bodysurfing. In those two weeks I didn't see a surfboard. I surfed Zicatela and got the rides of my life. The last day the surf came up huge, as we stood on the point looking outside, my buddy asked if I thought it could be surfed, I said maybe with an aqua lung and a helicopter! In my journal I named it the "Mexican Pipeline".

    I grew up surfing the east coast of Florida and people don't realize there were SEVERAL incredible breaks hear from, Jax Beach to Flagler Pier, to Coco, New Smyrna, Ft. Pierce, Jupiter, Stuart, and the gem of them all Sebastian Inlet. Massive development, huge hurricanes, and jetty expansions have killed off most of those incredible breaks. They produced the greatest surfers in the world such as Kelly Slater and Freida Zamba. Such a tragedy.

    It didn't come into existence until the coast had changed its formation over the last I think 20 years. The spot will not remain forever and likely will not remain very long at all and so we better enjoy it while it's here
