Additional Information
Welcome to the 2nd of 6 perfect, long Lefthand pointbreaks on Namibia's mid coast. All these breaks are on diamond mining private property, so access is impossible. Lucky for us we have family that work here..sorry okes..
Atmosphere
This wave and Spencer is the longest of the 6. Picks up alot of swell, always on. Gets longer and more consistent than J-Bay. These 6 waves are some of the surfing worlds best kept secrets.
General
All alone. Perfect and looooooong. Beautiful scenery with the Namib desert right infront of you.

In reply to the anonymous 'Jono' comment preceding mine: - Everyone is most definately NOT 'having a go' at Jono the clown; rather a few died-in-the-wool surfers who've read his pre-fabricated comments have called his bluff now. The reality is that Jo-joke has been 'having a go' at any travelling surfers who've simply visited this site for what it was intended as representing in the 1st place. And Jono's mockery of the entire W.S.Africa coastline needs to end it's google-life!

THE TRUTH - Hi guys. The truth of the matter is that whoever added the pic of the guys with the car and the waves peeling off the point, took it from me at www.dawnpatrol.co.za. It's a doctored pic (inverted), of a right point near East London which I took a couple of years ago. The guys in the pic are Louis,Julian and Glenn. We had it cooking that day! Seems the Wannasurf administrator has at last removed the pic after I complained.
I suspect the authenticity of some of the other Namibian pics and spots. Most of that area is "Spergebied" and no access is permitted except with permits and under supervision.
Adios
Roger
