The Skeleton Bay Shootout | Surf Contest At The Best Wave In The World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- The Skeleton Bay Shootout presented by Monster Energy took place over three days in late June in non-stop three-to-six foot barrels in Namibia. The speciality event looks to recognise the standout surfers of the swell at the best wave in the world and the rules are simple - show up and pull in.
“The Skeleton Bay Shootout is a peer-judged event and it’s pretty underground. No-ones really knows when it will happen, it’ll just pop-up depending on the swell and whoever is there is there,” says Eli Beukes, who put in a solid showing on his first trip to the iconic left-hander on the edge of the Namib Desert. “It’s pretty cool because it’s mostly going by word of mouth and whoever has been the surfer of the swell or gets the best barrel will get a bit of a cash prize at the end.”
This was essentially a dry-run for the concept. Now Now Media is planning a series of Shootouts based on the same idea at some of the most incredible waves around the world in 2024 and looking to bump up the prize money significantly. The prizes are a nice way to recognise who was charging but it’s not about the money. There’s always so much stoke when waves like this are firing and anybody who gets a good wave out there is a winner the end of the day. The Shootout is essentially a celebration of that.

BEST camera shots we have ever seen at this break, well done chaps
Cheers and thank you for watching.
Not really most angles are like this.
The vast majority of the sick SB swells I’ve seen, are POV, because the fog is gnarly.
This has to be the most perfect wave in the world.
Just imagine the millions upon millions of perfect waves, all around the world, that were never ridden.
Awesome do see these beauties with someone on them.
Why do surf videos never show the pop up? I would love to see how people get into the different types of waves in the world.
EXACTLY!! this is what I've always been missing. Just the 5 seconds before the pop up as well, watching the surfers make the decision to go for it
check out surfers of bali
Have a look at 8:46.
@@dacat8171 Nice! Thanks.
It’s just this one
Nadia's stall into the tube was so dope!!
I started surfing in 1960 in Southern California. I enjoyed long board surfing maybe 5 feet max waves in a "stately" manner. All the crouching and hunching I see in these videos today makes me wince. It can't feel as enjoyable. An opinion of course.
Wowsers this is mental, I can only imagine all the other clips banked from the run off swell from all the other surfers, how about a part 2?
Cheers Jerome. Definitely some leftovers...
Whoop whoop 🙌🏼 🎉
Look like Max Elkington had the perfect setup with that thruster. He was just sitting right in the pocket. Making it look effortless. RLTW 3/75
INSANE!!!
Those Sets look like out of a Park, one right after the other like Clockwork.
This is as perfect as slaters wave pool except much bigger just knarly as hell wish I was there don't you?
Think about Kelly Slater and these waves! Mind Blown!
Thanks for watching @Kahuna54 - word has it that Kelly Slater may be there right now.
Galera fez a cabeça nestas kilometricas ondas tubulares, parabens.Mahalo.
Esse lugar é irado!
Amazing
IS THIS SPOT ON THE NAMIBIAN COAST FANTASTIC VID. 10:13
Luke Thompson with the lazy boy lay back wowww
Thanks for watching @tims6582 - he wrangled that wave like a champ.
Only thing I can say is wish i was there
Top shelf shit right here!
what a wave....
Yew!!🤙🤙🤙
Why is this wave not part of the WSL pro tour?
omg!! so fkg dope amazing.
I hope I will surf this wave one day 🙏 it's very difficult the wave?
Best barrel anywhere
Imagine a 4 door HILUX with a 6 foot bed…… imagine the shortboards that would fit in there… just imagine….
Incredible barrel rolls forever. Seems like one mistake and the board is snapped in the middle. Insane wave 🌊 🏄🏼
Skeleton Bay eats more boards than possibly any other wave in the world. Thanks for watching.
I hate my life now.. lol
True or false? Thumping music does not improve a surfing video/vlog.
False
Lots of love for this contest! BUT I can't help but notice they may have saved some money on the music. Remember, there are literally heaps of up and coming bands that would take a cheap once of deal!
Shoutout to instrumental bands but would have loved to have heard some young Namibian, Sth African, Aussie or fucking any young band!
I don't know how they squat that long or can even walk back up the beach afterwards.
Credits to the Spanish lady, what is her name?
@junal27 it's Nadia Erostarbe. Thanks for watching.
Mannnnnn…..
I didn't know they had crappy music at Skeleton Bay.
What no EVs on the beach? You destroyed the planet to get those tubes
Waaaa
prob wouldnt flash that much cash at "annual" event in a geographically remote area. nothing like being robbed in the Namibian desert with all your homies
Skeleton Bay is my favorite wave in True Surf and in real life. What shoulder high wave that breaks thicker than Tahiti breaks boards like this. None. Hard to get to and brown water and great whites. If it was clear it would be packed every day.
make Kellys ranch alike doodoo lol 😅😂🎉👏❤😎🤙🖕🥧🎇lol
The WSL is to lazy to hold contest here. Everyone already knows about this spot.. it's no secret anymore. Hold a contest here when it's pumping with just the camera crew and surfers, and least annoying commentators. I miss the "the search" days let's go lowers 😂Rio is pumping lol.
Namibia? White sharks everywhere, no thanks. LOL
A contest at Skeleton Bay? This sucks!
esus, boys that was breathtakingly gorgeous, more barrel time here than the entire pro tour over a year
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
@@NowNowMedia That was absolutely beautiful!
Great work guys! so stoked everyone scored! that's the most perfect I've seen it in a while!!!
Cheers @ChrisRogers, much appreciated and thanks for watching!
OH MY BOEREWORS ROLLS
Props to the drone pilot at 5:55 Thats some tidy lines there 🔥
Cheers and thanks for watching. That's Dale Staples flying the drone, almost as skilled in the air as he is in the tube.
Banzai Pipeline: I have the best barrels in the world
Skeleton Bay: Hold my beer
Would love to see Clay Marzo surf out there when it was firing ! He would blow peoples minds
Is that you Clay?
Totally. Pound for pound the best Surfer on the 🌍
And he do it all in board shorts
bs. he not top 100
It's hardly the kind of wave to highlight an individuals style...
That was awesome to watch. Everyone scoring insane long barrels. Epic
Cheers and thanks for watching.
Skeleton Bay must surely be the longest and best wave in the world, never mind in Namibia. That side angle looking up the point is incredible.
Natalia should get a little prize money for being the only one to attempt a top turn. Sweet footage. #1 wave on my bucket list.
She did! And for her crazy barrels. Thanks for watching.
Maybe she is in fact Bill Bryan’s offspring
It just goes on forever and ever!. This is some of the best surfing footage I've ever seen.
One of life's greatest tragedies is that this wave isn't a right
Does this place ever ratchet down a notch, non-tubing to where a good-but-not-remarkable longboarder could make use of it?
Asking for a friend...
Not really - Skeleton Bay is usually full tilt or flat. But there are other waves around.
Incredible ly cool
Thanks for watching.
Nadia was the stand out ❤
Cool format. great waves.
This place is terrifying. That being said I hope to go back someday. There's an eeriness in the water that for me personally I have felt nowhere else.
Absolutely loved this! Thank you! More please ...
Never surfed. Always a keen spectator. Great waves, great surfers, great drone footage. ✌️
Cheers @nickmeteor9663 , thanks for watching.
Love how Jordy M is out there getting bleeping paid.
Great waves would be nice to see a few take offs.
But boy, it’s so friggin cold, Antarctic current…
Lekker vibes and even better waves. Thank you for this video!
Cheers and thanks for watching.
Bucket list f sure, got surf magazine about that serf zone
One dude after another so deep inside the barrel that you wouldn't even see them from the shore til they emerged like 30--45 seconds later
Beautiful,would it be a bit too much to ask for clear blue water.😉😉😉😉🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thanks for watching. Give this a play if you're after clear blue water: ua-cam.com/video/FjiPnwdImKo/v-deo.html
@@NowNowMedia WOW,thanks for that.Cowabungaaaaaaa
It's amazing nobody has been attacked by white fish. Probly have enough to eat around there. Really can't get anymore barreled then this. Can you?
I stay here in Namibia,we have never had a shark attack nor a confirmed site of a white pointer...
Oh the cramps ! Worth every twinge...lol
I remember first seeing this wave in the lost redux vid...it still just doesn't even look real!
First time I’ve ever seen SB, not look absolutely terrifying ( excluding the wave ). It’s almost always exclusively low vis water, foggy, POV, that makes it look like they’re surfing on the moon, with seal colonies & great whites
Are you shitting me ? This setup looks like a wave pool .seriously those barrels are like one from Slater's Surf Ranch .towards the beginning of the clip it showed one dude take a wave on the outside and rode in the barrel all the way to the inside .it never closed out .my GOD he must have been in the barrel for 30 seconds or more .I've never seen a natural wave do that anywhere EVER
Thanks for watching. Yes, Skeleton Bay is truly a freak of nature.
Thanks for watching! Please hit subscribe if you like what you see. We’ve got more in the making.
Thought he said "That's for the Weiner"...
I like surf and animals saving ❤
Clearly Jordy Maree did not need any sunscreen.
Wild, no crowd, a true wave machine. 😅
Unbelievable wave so cool how long it lasts and how many waves line up
Great video and the drone segment at 5m 40s is absolutely brilliantly done. 👏
Thanks for watching @jxbusic. The drone work is by Dale Staples - incidentally he's as good in the tube at Skeleton Bay as he is at getting those shots.
Put me in the Game coach..Krazy
Aint gonna lie. That wave scares the poop out of me. Seems like a mouth that is constantly trying to chew you into liquid waste
So who won the cash at the end ? did I miss that ???
Jordy Maree at 07:00 was main winner for the wave of the swell. But anyone who got a wave out there was a winner. Thanks for watching.
Brendon's wave was beyond epic!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My legs are sore just from watching them!
Making a contest there is the most derangored idea someone had. Why humans want to ruin every pure place we have on earth? Soon that place will be over
Nuts. A machine.
looks like a barrel machine
somebody please do a turn lol
Nadia did one.
This is the best wave in the world, just saying, this video (again and again and again and again) is the evidence...is the proof. Yisem chaaaana's!!! the stoke is real!
Cheers and thank you for watching. Would have to agree - nothing quite compares to Namibia and Skeleton Bay.
This is some of the best surfing footage I've ever seen😍
Cheers @shainedupuis2649, thanks for watching.
Maybe Kelly added his pool machine in there! haha amazing
❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😳🤯🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Another great job. NOW NOW. Thank u that someone is doing this.
Cheers @troycreatlive4148, thanks for watching.
amazing
How perverted. Go to such a primitive and pristine location and then try and turn it in to Malibu. Do better
100%#1
Definition of the dream tour
Would have to agree.
Ridiculous! Nothing comes close!
Thanks for watching. Not quite Skeleton Bay in reverse, but we reckon this comes fairly close: ua-cam.com/video/FjiPnwdImKo/v-deo.html
