    Slept in my kombi at long beach the night of the superstorm of April 1984, sunset was so massive the next morning I could see Hout Bay through the barrels. I estimate it was 60ft +. Storm ripped up all the kelp beds at long beach and piled them on the beach till they were 20 ft+ high. Wish I had a camera that morning. Great vid, nice to see some of my old buds.

    Sjoe, now that was a way to spend my break. haha
    That was really good guys.
    I've lived in Cape Town all my life but in 8 minutes I felt like I know more about SunSets, Dungeons, and the legends more than ever.

      Big waves are mysterious things. They’re never really the same. Beautiful and intriguing

    Great production . The memories must have faded though as Piers Pittard was surfing Sunset Man Alleen before any of the greats mentioned here .

    I used to get really creeped out by the rocks at Mavericks, especially when it was big and fogged in a few times. I always thought: "Man, I should get my shit together and get to Dungeons, it looks like Maverick's without the rocks..." But hearing how it shifts all around, that's a whole different animal. They all are, I guess. I'm so broken up physically I can't even longboard anymore. Moot point now. Do your yoga, boys. I wish I did.

    Music mix is really annoying. Just to listen to the narrative, we have to tolerate this nonsensical unrelated rap. Makes me navigate the mute button a little too much.
