The Skeleton Bay Shootout | Surf Contest At The Best Wave In The World
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 08. 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.

This has to be the most perfect wave in the world.
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!
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
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
OH MY BOEREWORS ROLLS
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.
Brendon's wave was beyond epic!
It just goes on forever and ever!. This is some of the best surfing footage I've ever seen.
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.
Never surfed. Always a keen spectator. Great waves, great surfers, great drone footage. ✌️
Cheers @nickmeteor9663 , thanks for watching.
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
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
Every wave was a perfect 10.
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.
That was awesome to watch. Everyone scoring insane long barrels. Epic
Cheers and thanks for watching.
My legs are sore just from watching them!
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.
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!
Nadia's stall into the tube was so dope!!
Another great job. NOW NOW. Thank u that someone is doing this.
Cheers @troycreatlive4148, thanks for watching.
Grande Nadia!!
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
This is some of the best surfing footage I've ever seen😍
Cheers @shainedupuis2649, thanks for watching.
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.
Wild, no crowd, a true wave machine. 😅
It just goes on forever and ever!
Bucket list for sure! ❤
Great waves would be nice to see a few take offs.
Definition of the dream tour
Would have to agree.
Thanks for watching! Please hit subscribe if you like what you see. We’ve got more in the making.
Holy cow! This is mental!
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.
Oh the cramps ! Worth every twinge...lol
So insanely Epic!
Now Now killing it out there
Cheers @seatoskyadventures6130, thanks for watching.
Whoop whoop 🙌🏼 🎉
Maybe Kelly added his pool machine in there! haha amazing

Galera fez a cabeça nestas kilometricas ondas tubulares, parabens.Mahalo.
Dream session!
This is as perfect as slaters wave pool except much bigger just knarly as hell wish I was there don't you?
reminds me of a video game! so perfect!
Amazing!
Essa onda é incrível! Seloko
have to carry your lunch with ya on some of those rides
Put me in the Game coach..Krazy
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...
Incredible video...thank you
Thanks for watching @craigperry5729
brilliant
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.
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
Dang I'm hooked,great video
Thank you for watching.
amazing
this place needs to be balified and PRONTO!!!
How often does it break like this? Just amazing.
eeeeeeeepic!!!
Beautiful
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.
Que alucinaaanteeeeeee!
Unbelievable wave so cool how long it lasts and how many waves line up
Amazing
Think about Kelly Slater and these waves! Mind Blown!
Thanks for watching @Kahuna54 - word has it that Kelly Slater may be there right now.
Great video! I think its imposible to rate scores it those long perfect waves, everyones getting barrels!
Cheers and thank you for watching @ramonhernandez5743
One of life's greatest tragedies is that this wave isn't a right
#DVG in in the mix again
Cette vague est juste incroyable
I like surf and animals saving ❤
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
Shaking head in amazement..
I remember first seeing this wave in the lost redux vid...it still just doesn't even look real!
Yew!!🤙🤙🤙
Always been the best wave in the world. For its size every other spot is off the radar.!!!!
Would have too agree - no other wave like Skeleton Bay. Thanks for watching.
Only thing I can say is wish i was there
IS THIS SPOT ON THE NAMIBIAN COAST FANTASTIC VID. 10:13
Top shelf shit right here!
Luke Thompson with the lazy boy lay back wowww
Thanks for watching @tims6582 - he wrangled that wave like a champ.
