Another Mind-Numbing Skeleton Bay Clip

Aritz Aranburu scored what he is calling, “the best wave of his life,” on a recent foggy grey day in Namibia.

ON LOCATION: Namibia

Surfer Luke Campbell is Australia's Lord of the Drone. He's been our wings above NSW slabs and West Oz shark pools for a while now, and we see new angles of Australia's most mindsurfed breaks every time he puts out a clip. When Skeleton Bay's historic swell in June made the charts, the Margaret River native boarded a plane for Africa. You'd typically need a Land Rover and an open length of beach to keep up with these tube rides, but with a drone...only sky separates you from an uninterrupted clip of your dream barrel. Skeleton Bay has been a training ground for POV technique, but drone footage in Namibia is still relatively new, and Luke Campbell was one of the pilots flying the creative torch. Enjoy 113 seconds of beautiful Namibia aerial footage from Campbell -- and a POV jewel, too.

Edge Of Africa

Pat Gudauskas has never been one for sitting still. He spends a majority of his year living out of a suitcase and board bag, sprinting through airports, exploring cityscapes, and hiking to far-flung waves. For Pat, it’s about embracing the range of experiences you get from balancing freedom and focus, competing and freesurfing around the world. Gudauskas and co. spent 6 weeks bouncing from Skeleton Bay’s grinding left to Jeffery's Bay’s unrivaled right-hand perfection, then on to Durban and Ballito to compete in the Qualifying Series and connect with the local community. Join Gudauskas on his journey in our latest profile film, “Edge of Africa.” Presented by Vans
