That's Namibia. Bit on the farside for travel from Europe. This type of video footage always makes me envy surfers and the surfing community. It looks epic and the feeling of freedom translates excellent through all the shots. But I guess it is all sh*ts and giggles until someone loses a foot.

Philip Byrnes - 5 years ago

If genuine then that would have to go down as one of the greatest surfing rides of all time. Should make the cover of surfing world magazine. Yes I know video doesn’t go on a magazine. It deserves the cover shot one frame each month of publication, one frame after another, one month after another until the film runs out. That would take a thousand years you say, yes, I say, and deserve to be the only thing there throughout. How could you ever top that ride? I counted all 8 tubes on one ride. If there is a photo or video out there that can top that I would love to see it but doubt it will ever be topped. Also a big kudos to the drone operator, a great job managing to film that incredible ride, well done and thank you both for sharing this amazing footage
