The Skeleton Bay Shootout | Surf Contest At The Best Wave In The World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2023
- 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.

esus, boys that was breathtakingly gorgeous, more barrel time here than the entire pro tour over a year
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
@@NowNowTV That was absolutely beautiful!
This has to be the most perfect wave in the world.
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.
It just goes on forever and ever!. This is some of the best surfing footage I've ever seen.
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
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!
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.
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
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.
That was awesome to watch. Everyone scoring insane long barrels. Epic
Cheers and thanks for watching.
OH MY BOEREWORS ROLLS
Never surfed. Always a keen spectator. Great waves, great surfers, great drone footage. ✌️
Cheers @nickmeteor9663 , thanks for watching.
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

Another great job. NOW NOW. Thank u that someone is doing this.
Cheers @troycreatlive4148, thanks for watching.
This is some of the best surfing footage I've ever seen😍
Cheers @shainedupuis2649, thanks for watching.
Brendon's wave was beyond epic!
My legs are sore just from watching them!
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.
❤LOVE This Wave
Music bringing be back to the days of Transworld Surf on PS2 haha. Epic waves so cool to see a unique surf contest in some of the best and definitely longest barreling waves on earth to date.
Cheers @maxnuccio2440, thanks for watching.
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.
It just goes on forever and ever!
Nadia's stall into the tube was so dope!!
Incredible ly cool
Thanks for watching.
Every wave was a perfect 10.
Grande Nadia!!
Definition of the dream tour
Would have to agree.
Bucket list for sure! ❤

Cheers and thanks for watching @gavinderbyshire5535
Wild, no crowd, a true wave machine. 😅
So insanely Epic!
Now Now killing it out there
Cheers @seatoskyadventures6130, thanks for watching.
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.
Great waves would be nice to see a few take offs.
Dream session!
Holy cow! This is mental!
Yeww! Pits for years 🙌🏼
Essa onda é incrível! Seloko

Que alucinaaanteeeeeee!
Dang I'm hooked,great video
Thank you for watching.
Maybe Kelly added his pool machine in there! haha amazing
Amazing
amazing
Oh the cramps ! Worth every twinge...lol
So nice
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
How often does it break like this? Just amazing.
Mad spot
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...
Como diria mi hijo Gaspar. Deditos para arriba. Viva el Surf!!!! Viva la vida!!
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.
Bucket list f sure, got surf magazine about that serf zone
Thanks 👍 that was truly Beautiful 😍
Thanks for watching!
eeeeeeeepic!!!
brilliant
Those Sets look like out of a Park, one right after the other like Clockwork.
Unbelievable wave so cool how long it lasts and how many waves line up
Galera fez a cabeça nestas kilometricas ondas tubulares, parabens.Mahalo.
sick sick sick
Nadia, una máquina Española ❤
Great video! I think its imposible to rate scores it those long perfect waves, everyones getting barrels!
Cheers and thank you for watching @ramonhernandez5743
This is as perfect as slaters wave pool except much bigger just knarly as hell wish I was there don't you?
Wow wow wow.
Nadia was the stand out ❤
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
have to carry your lunch with ya on some of those rides
Cette vague est juste incroyable
I like surf and animals saving ❤
Put me in the Game coach..Krazy
Shaking head in amazement..
#DVG in in the mix again
Clean surf, the water cleanness is debatable. Aloha
Thanks for watching @michaelnicholls8527 . The water quality is actually really good, the colour comes from all the sediment moving around and upwelling.
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
One of life's greatest tragedies is that this wave isn't a right
omg!! so fkg dope amazing.
Top shelf shit right here!
Think about Kelly Slater and these waves! Mind Blown!
Thanks for watching @Kahuna54 - word has it that Kelly Slater may be there right now.
Only thing I can say is wish i was there
this place needs to be balified and PRONTO!!!
Boogie ❤
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.
Yew!!🤙🤙🤙
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
