SURFING SKELETON BAY NAMIBIA

The wave is long, probably the longest barreling wave in the world. Some people call it the best left in the world, others call it the most technically demanding wave they have ever surfed, and others - surfers on the wrong side of 30 who have been pole-axed and pile-driven for want of two perfectly apt clichés - call it a close-out. If you're a pro surfer, this destination has a lot going for it. If you're just a competent surfer Skeleton Bay is going to test you.
