Additional Information

River wave of the best perfection, works for about two weeks when the water level in Zambezi is dropping naturally.

Nature fresh water rare perfection!!!

Park car at top of gorge and walk down into river gorge...

Atmosphere

Local spot that few people from all over the world have had a chance to surf because of who they know or because they happened to be on a river trip that day with Serious Fun Riversurfing Company at the right time of the year...guides help drop you in and locals are super cool...Fred, Stanely, Salt, Tembo etc..

General

Epic and if you in the area there are also some other not so good river waves depending on time of year again...
