A couple of other South African rippers. If you could help identify would be great - Sport
No words spoken.
No fancy intro of any sort.
Best surf edit in a long, long time.
Thanks for sharing man.
Can only imagine what it feels like!
a bit of counter culture.. you dont like a nice movie?
Koa's one from 5 years ago, is still the best - the drone footage is superb - similar; no waffle - just a basic sound track like this and an unbelievable single wave with 8 barrels on the wave.
This place is just nuts. It's a freight train pushing this insane long tube. But to make it even crazier is how remote it is. It's just as wild as a place you good find. Takes days to get there. Love to see new footage and know that it's still there . RLTW 3/75
It's the ultimate surfer’s dream
@@nicvonrupp1671 *Realmente um Sonho. A água parece bem fria, sabe aproximadamente sua temperatura? Parabéns por essas imagens fantásticas!🤙
Very special song. I think many people have a story about this song.
First time I heard it I was 20 years old.... I was travelling with a guy I met from Amsterdam (I am from Australia). We became great friends while studying in Montreal, we decided to go to the USA together, rented a van and took on California whilst living in a van.... He played this track on the open road, as we took on Highway 1, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, we kept coming back to this song the whole trip whilst smoking cigarettes and driving into sunsets
Whats the song name and Band? thanks
This is just mindblown 🤯🔥
It was even better than it looks
Great footage showing the place from different perspectives that explains how this wave works. 😎🤟🔥
Glad you liked it
just wow. loved the overhead and side-on angles showing the scale of the place. also nice choice of soundtrack, inspiring like the wave itself
Skeleton Bay ( aka Donkey Bay ) is a pretty fickle wave which needs certain specific conditions starting with a cold from off Cape Town when big swells start stampeding up the west coast of Africa from the Antarctic . This swell lasted about 8 days . On the weekend there were 45 4x4's on the beach . This particular day looks like 2 or three
These guys will have memories to last a lifetime surfing these waves.
This is a timeless piece! Great work as usual.
glad you enjoyed
Beautiful!!! Love the shots and the music!!! 👍
Absolutely Incredible!!!! Best footage I’ve ever seen 🌀💨

Wow, fantastic video, amazing waves, breathtaking barrels, tremendous skills, captivating footage, no words needed. This is the whole package. Thank you for the share!
So beautiful, it touches my heart! The music…fantastic!
glad you enjoyed
So good. Best waves in surf videography I've ever watched - thankyou
This is pretty much exactly what drones were made for. Nice.
indeed
Thank You!!!
great choice of music, it adds, instead of detracts from the mood/spectacle of the surf.
Yessssss!!! Vonnrup you are my favorite channel. This is epic.
stoked to hear that
The aerial shot 3:42 alone is worth of this entire video. The rest is just amazing 🙂 THANKS!!!!

Epic!!!
wicked mate!
Sensational Nick! Many thanks Mate.

Love ya non-dangerous stuff Mr. Nick.
That was awesome 😊
So good to see it back, just cuz it makes the planet better.
When to surf Skeleton Bay?
The best time of year for surfing Skeleton Bay with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light / offshore winds) is during Winter and most often the month of June. Clean surfable waves are typically found 16% of the time in June while 80% of the time it tends to be blown out
Beautiful. Sublime physics. Like riding an eclipse? Congrats to participants and drone ops.
Even more insane with the Pachanga Boys banger 🤩
agree!!!
Just, Breath taking!
indeed man
Thanks for showing the angles of the way this wave breaks. It looks like the curl travels left along the wave back out toward the bay while the wave itself moves along the shore at an angle close to 45 degrees.
Great Edit. Love your work bro
Thanks mate
Fdx Incrível 🙌🏻💣💣💣
faltou maquina voadora hehe
Whoop whoop 🙌🏼 🎉
Good music
Holy en'charitos look at this place carry on, phenomenal.
6:53 surfer without a surfboard is doing a duck dive 😅

Amazing waves😮
yep as good as it gets
*Um Sonho*
excellent footage
thank you
Score of the century 🎉😮‼️‼️‼️
So beautiful 💕
Craziest wave on the planet
SURREAL!😳
Surf ranch on steroids. Geesh i would love to give that a try. It doesn't even seem possible for waves to be this good. Great footage man.🤯🤯
the beauty of nature
This wave is a beautiful phenomenon.
Strong 👌👌
Lol the world has gone nuts. Nate with psycho slab in Oz,Koa scoring Cloudbreak but looks like the Frother wins. Straight RIDIC.🔥🔥🔥
Skeleton Bay has to be the best wave in the world when its on... that was majestic
PANCHAGA BOYS ! Pleasure and many thanks form the LOST IN THE SWELL's team !!!
man holy moly, what a trip!
indeed, was crazy man
Epic
Magical nature..
indeed
It's hard to stop watching.
its a time machine
You are so lucky. Amazing! Most if us at the most made a barrel every 3 months of 1sec...i like the raw footage or documentary format rather than the video blog stuff. Good job man! I am so jealous.
good to mix it up sometimes
Damn you guys scored!!! Bummed I missed this swell! 😂
there is always a next one thats the beauty of it
Incredible surfing and of course, an incredible wave! Would LOVE to see a collab video with Brett Barley :D
😂
@@pickleforknwiggles634 they both seem to share a similar passion for pure-surfing and exploration vs every other video of clout/click chasing. Truly wondering, do you not think they would get along, or is Barley a kook to you or somthing?
@@Spance-er Barley A kook? Now that's crazy. I just think it would be too good to be true.... Two of my favorite barrel chargers. I'm with ya on this......
@@pickleforknwiggles634 haha well I definitely interpreted that wrong! Thanks for the kind response and couldn't agree with you more.
Sweet!
As good as it gets
I want this wave for me, ❤❤
Perfect sweel
6:53 cute Seal duck diving and peaking over.

You have the Skelton Bay on one end of the spectrum and the wedge on the other.

God dam I love Namibia
Nothing better
Thanks for sharing Nic. Saludos from Ecuador. On a great day how long is the wave?

miracle
miracle on earth
Wave of the Year....
Oh my…
What software do you use for swell forecasting??
surfline
3:53 Yeesh!
Sitting here at work drooling all over my desk
Niculau! É essa a melhor esquerda que apanhaste? Ou ha melhor? Ando a procura de uma valente
GOD creating the forces of nature that creates mass particle migration that creates a sandbar ledge that allows swell to break in this way, creating moving rooms with 5 of 6 sides made of salt water and the remaining side open to steer and navigate .. an incredible gift for those who embrace motion and g-forces, the ocean and physical exertion .. and the sensation of getting ridiculously barreled !! Another eye candy video Senior Von Rupp !! Mahalos braddah !!
What conditions does it need?
That's just aight natural as Captain Goodvibes would say
Jammin!
Awesome! Always at the right place. How hard is the take off on this wave ? Look damn fast
Really hard, I'm an intermediate surfer and for every 8 takeoffs I only make one successful drop. Then sections of the wave speeding up, even closing out makes it really difficult to stay on the wave. I'm a local and saw a couple of SA surfers in the past not being able to catch a single wave. This wave is extremely deceiving, looks way easier then it should.
its a fast wave but when you find that tempo you are in dream land
wow
Yeww
Missed you bud
Infinity
How long is this wave ?? 1000 ft ?
How many times can you do the walk back to the top of the point before your knees give out in the barrel?
Poetry in Motion
most people would actually be sore after one ride if they make it all the way. Squatting in a barrel for 1 minute straight is actually really taxing. the walk is nothing
@@jakedavid2523 surfed pavones and that other point nearby (no where near as long) on a few really good days. No barrels but knees felt like noodles after a while! My knees got tired watching this lol.
@@datapusher- haha sounds epic! after a long session when my local point breaks are going off, my legs get so sore. Probably because its only that good a handful of times
If one day i could ride that train i. WOULD. BE HOME ALOHA KAKUA!!!
Been there, done that, heading back!
Live Life Large
Dream Big Waves
Surf Bigger Waves
Until the Last Wave....

I hope all you ppl that like to surf survive what’s heading all of our way, may god keep all of you safe from what’s about to come our way
