You are absolutely right, but compared to other swells I have seen at this spot, it wasn't quite right. The sand wasn't lined up and in place like I have seen before. Still an incredible wave but all the pieces and parts weren't quite lined up for this one...
@@willmiddleton9199Yes you’re right, not so hollow,sections closing out , more crowded, you don’t usually see guys doing cutbacks and reos there, but average Joe doesn’t notice that.
LOVE the Naude Dreyer cameo! The team at Ocean Conservation Namibia are always doing amazing work to keep the seals from suffering horrible injuries dut to fishing gear and plastics in the ocean!
Yeah boi! Skellies lights up. Few shandies there clamping on the team but a few makes for the win. Had a moment of clarity watching this. Jacob does such a good job filming, commentating and the dudes living the dream. One week Fiji, next In Mexico. Now he’s in Africa. Hats off to the lad. Perfect footage. Yeow from Taranaki New Zealand
I just paused the video and turned to look at your 6'9 hanging on my wall. I got lucky enough to grab one last month from Tokyo. I look at it every day I'm sitting behind my desk wishing I was at a beach, some beach...any beach.
Funny how when it's freezing cold, the waves aren't that good, so the option is always to sit in the car with the heater on untill things improve...hehe
Hey Jamie, I just got a question. So all of those shots in your little medley right before your video this year was there just a giant swell everywhere in the world or something cuz it seems like everywhere it was huge

Anyone else here back when RAW clips meant no music/no editing? Anyone else hear back with Skeleton was a long, clean barrelling left? It's been WELL DOCUMENTED that this place is self-destructing and will never be the wave it was 9 years ago when Koa Smith blew the place up with his GoPro award-winning 27s barrel ride.
Agree, it’s full ,sections shutting down , nowhere near how good it was back then. Funny how your average keyboard surfer doesn’t get that . Think everything is still wonderful .
If you're at any spot in the world and Jamie and Nathan show up, you picked the right spot at the right time, on the right swell...
1000% and hard to tell but guessing that was Kelly there as well.
ugh

On this official day of the Lion's Gate Portal 2024, we hereby rename Donkey Bay to Skeleton Bay, the site of future world championships.

Jamie's a reeeeallllyyyy good tube rider. Always pulls off the impossible.

thanks for taking us along! skeleton bay definitely takes full concentration
Right on! I hope you got to link up with the seal rescue guys. I watch a lot of their videos, and it looks like amazing work.
Namibe Naud ?

11:48 That take off is wild 🔥🔥

Skeleton bay is hefty
Hell yer lets goo . What sick way to start my day thanks for another mean video jamie and the boys
Thanks buddy
More of this Jamie, get all they boys on one trip and go siiick!
Hall of fame!! Congrats 🎉
So jelly of everyone getting to chill at the Del and watch that movie. Sadly 3,000 miles away in TN or I’d be there. ❤🏄♂️🤙
Same here bro, same here
Jaime is a wizard on any barreling left
He’s looking out of shape and cry’s too much tho.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 lol u sound mad. and he surf better than u
Wish I had these waves
WOW Another day to remember! sick ones
I like you Jamie, your filmers get the boogs and all other riders in it as well🎉🎉🎉 definitely need those psyched views!
Loved the drone clips
Some of those drone shots make it look almost like a florider. Just looks like it'll never end

Thats cute. You should put a picture of him on your desk
@@byronbass5485lol
Get in the water soon! Yewww!
@@byronbass5485 never get anything done
Mahalo to you Jamie! Keeping us psyched!!
That looked like John John at 3:10
"Cold Toto's." Cool edit.
That journalist looked like he needed to take a tinkle 😅
tuning in from south africa, love the stuff!
Right on Jamie, great Video 👏
best sound/edit/vibe from 14:00 onward!
I agree, sooo much better with the sound of wind & ocean instead of monotonous computer music!
Another Masterclass on setting up for the barrel
13:40 it looks like the whole world starts going backwards when the drone starts zooming out 🤪🥳
This will be one off the best surfing movies of all time
Except it’s not as good as it was a few years ago, it’s fuller and more sectiony. Some good barrels but not as long ,fast and hollow as it was.
Crazy you guys look out at that and think, i'm going in!
good to know there wil be many skeleton bay videos coming soon . The olympics were boofy
Better hurry up, its disappearing, not that you noticed
I missed you on the plane , but I won’t miss this brother lmao. I’m 10 minutes away
This wasnt even this years swell, this is old footage
This is so cool!! 🎉🎉🎉
It was so good of Jamie to throw in some
surfing footage but I prefer to listen to him talk and see this months products.
😂
Sick!!❤❤
The 🐐
Surfing a crowded lineup brings down the wave count and amps up the intensity.
that edit was sick
❤🔥🔥
Jamie and Nathan got more barrel time in that session than all of humanity combined this year
Great beach and drone footage!
How is the paddle out? Looks rough.
It ain't no secret anymore @ 10:35
Funny how when it's freezing cold, the waves aren't that good, so the option is always to sit in the car with the heater on untill things improve...hehe
Class jamie
Love that JOB owns up to being scared................human like the rest of us???
We are all the same bro yeeewwwww just got to send it though
Pssst. I heard that donkey Bay is going to be on fire!!! Shhhh....
Niceeeee
W0W!
Go surf IB 2-morro hurricane swell will be firing--just watch out for some TJ logs in the agua.
That solid white board is as slow as molasses.
JOB ripping!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah boys
I’d be wondering, should I go out on the latest greatest design, or something reliable that’ll stay in one piece?
Intense
Jamie, check that bro out, bless him he saves so many seals every day, 😭 I watch his channel unbelievable man, great to see you psychn out
not as Raw as some other videos liked it !!!
Hey Jamie, I just got a question. So all of those shots in your little medley right before your video this year was there just a giant swell everywhere in the world or something cuz it seems like everywhere it was huge
In Googe Earth, in tis location: 20°41'53"S 143° 4'11"W there is ~20ft tube ongoing. I wonder if that spot is being riden, and how its called if it is
Psyched 💦💙
Incredible conditions 👏
Funny how people don’t realise it’s not so good anymore?😢
@@Jason124-zp9os its beautiful 😍
@@hman7236You missed the videos from 9 years ago, that was beautiful, a lot of people couldn’t tell the difference though!
@@Jason124-zp9os better than where I'm at 99% of the time
@@hman7236Don’t know if it’s worth traveling 50 hours to get there anymore though 😢
sickes riding!! it's possible!!
Everyone’s worked out how to get there now, but it’s not so good anymore, don’t tell anyone though 😂
Heavily Psyched Out of my Mind and I hope can find it , It is Coconuts and cream and macadamia chocolate from here on

Pitty they can't experience it when it's really perfect and endless
Don’t ruin a good video.
Wait what about Kai Lenny and Koa Smith, and the rest of the boys. Respect every one for the travel.
What happened to the go pro?
Ventura Cali "c st" local here, I wanna know, what is JOBs wave of his life to date?
I think you would’ve scored if you didn’t drink Red Bull. 😂
strange that such a high level sportsman drinks redbull
JOB looked a little scared of that local. Bro just wanted a photo.
Bruh wetsuits make surfing hard idk maybe mine is too small cuz i like snacks idk Jamie what do you think?
true
all these cold Hawaiians 😁😁😁
Raw clip (edited,music,talking intro)?
Jamie seemingly doesnt know what's the barrel of his life.. maybe its the nexty
why music if its supposed to be "raw clips"?
song?????
This is last years Namibia swell huh? Nathan wearing a Vans rash guard and Vans sticker on his board.... not the same attire from this years swell.
Who organizers your passports etc? Yourselves or do you have a team to handle that?
We are not everything ourselves. It’s pretty simple.
@@JamieOBrienJOB just saw a clip of Koa Smith at Skeleton Bay. Epic!!!!!!!!
This some old ass footage.
It's called "The Rock" Jamie...
Please go 🇵🇹 Portugal
The wave was not at it's best. Made it real.
Yawn Yawn and back to Florence Italy for the cheese and Wine
Nice of you to come out of the barrel occasionally to provide proof of life.
the bar not as good this year wrong swell angel wrong tide?
Sand moves around, it may not be as good ever again, oh well don’t ruin a good video
No BDA group members around here. No makes, either.
Can I have a shoutout?
horrible howling winds and sections ...take me to j bay any day

Smooth cheater 5 in a barrel on a short board!
looks a bit mushy
The "GoPro" put this place on the map. 100 guys out.. 50 cars on the beach?.....good on you for not exploiting it even more. What a shit show.
Why don’t you guys bring a 4 wheeler and ride or get a ride back up the beach? Instead of walking.
JOB is such a crybaby. 🤯
Namibia 🇳🇦
Not fun
