A LastNameFirst.tv short film feat. Koa Smith + Alex Smith, Travis Smith and Dylan Goodale.
In this arid African Desert, 1/5 of all the diamonds in the world exist. They were so common at one point that the locals could walk across the dunes on a full moon and spot them shimmering from a far. We went to this rumored place and found a diamond of our own.

Skeleton Bay aka Donkey bay is close to the seaside town of Walfis Bay in Namibia on the west Coast of Southern Africa (Atlantic Ocean) Namibia borders South Africa in the south.
Come an visit us in this beautiful unspoiled part of paradise that is Namibia also known as the diamond of Africa.You will never forget the experience and the friendly people.
i went into a trance sitting watching this,,,a gift from the gods to all us goofy footers
Not if you come off or you're in on a particularly 'cloudy' (in the water) day , it gets sharky in there, hence the name... More seals, more sharks, more skeletons 😉 and that steam train looks faaaaast!
No sunblock needed just stay in the nice shady barrels all day .
Best surf video I've ever seen, and I'm a videographer. It's insane, and I get the pink floyd song breathe, because the go pro video is practically hallucinogenic. There was good mix of shots, some establishing shots, and had the drone not crashed, it would have been better. All mof the music was on point and the graphics + credits show a high level of sophistication..These are 2 minute tube rides- its unfathomable,
To this day hands down the best GoPro footage of Skeleton Bay, 1:45 seconds elapsed video time in the barrel at the most perfect conditions full on glassy not a drop of water out of place and wave is big and thick 🤙🏾⚡️
That’s the most amazing left I have ever seen. What I would give to just get one of those waves. Amazing Koa and bros.
You guys SCORED! I've been at it since 1961 and this might be the most amazing left I've ever seen. And looks like a manageable crowd. Nicely executed video, too. I especially liked the Pink Floyd part. Nice job.
I love the videos and music
Dude this is amazing you guys are amazing and so FRICKEN talented and real on so many fronts. Favorite thing on RUclips for several weeks now, this is what we need more of.
Been loving digging into the older stuff too, can you please make a doco? Haha yew from San Diego!
right?! im loving this too and its a 6 year old vid. from SD too
the same here , and i cant believe its so old !
8:12 was probably the most incredible wave I've ever seen. That includes all the Jaws, Pipeline, Teahupoo, Nazare, Mavericks, the Right and so on. Driving 40mph and the wave keeps up with the car the entire time seemed unreal.
You forgot County Line!!!
Long tube rides abound, Take your breath away tubes, great coverage guys really enjoyed watching Diamond of the desert. We used to wear hats in waves like that, the one that keeps his hat on the longest has to buy brunch!
Bless bless bless bless 👀💪👍👌
Thanks! !!!!
I love koa Attenborough
Mind blown!! Thanks.
Wow😱🤩
That was beautiful and the quality of the wave was just outstanding music was great also ,a 10 in my world thanks for the effort it took to make it
@1:20 - had to be the best ride I've ever seen!!!
That was radical.
💎💎💎
Hoping to be here in a couple of years........ fingers crossed!!!!!
If I’m not mistaken, the one thing I would have loved to have seen in this video was of someone paddling, and dropping in. One things for sure, you got this goofy footer dreaming.
Just proves Namibia has the best WAVES on the planet
Nunca vi um surfista tão bom em tubos parabéns 👏👏
Skeleton Bay ??
In its bare flesh 👍
🙏 🌊 🙏
David Attenborough actually narrated? I thought that was you koa
County Line is "The Best Wave in the World"..hands down!
Amazing Trip ,Jah Bless U All
I so enjoyed that!
seriously the coolest surf shit ever.... really wish I could surf on that level... fucking insane
Like anyone is rushing to get to Africa but a location would have been cool. Kind of an Endless Summer Jbay thing going on? Agree with others about the pov shots - seeing more of the spot and whats around that perfect hollow grinder is just as important. Big plus for starting of with Floyd too. thumbs up
Omg you guys are the kings for letting pink floyd play along the barrel
Inner most limits of pure fun. Echoes
Some day baby.......Some day!!!!
Wait is that koa's voice 😄😂🤣😂🤣
Something !!
OMG beautiful
Massive. Thank you!
Kinda looks like it's got the length of Chicama (or longer) but full throttle hardarse speeding barrel all the way.
Epic!😊😄🥰
2:50 so deep in that barrel.
That's Namibia for you
90% of the guys watching this wave couldn't make the drop. There's a wave in Hawaii very similar but a right. It looks so perfect from the beach but the drops are hellatious and the current goes 20mph down the coast. You're lucky to get 2 or 3 waves in a day with all the miles of running back up the beach and getting thrown on your head. I broke my ribs out there in a head high wave.
Don't forget about the big white sharks... A bunch of them out there... Hunting for seals, but maybe a surfer won't be a bad change in the menu...
Edgar Malveiro There’s a private island in Brazil that has a wave like this too, but a right.
jack strada rifle range bra
Only 90%. More, bro! No doubt. No chit.
Very right you are. Almost broke my neck there. It is heavy, fast and very shallow
My boyfriend Dennis thinks this is "OLD_MANS",at San Onofre!Damn alzheimers!
That was even sicker than Barley´s vid!!!!
Me jealous!
absolutely a great movie, good wotk
You guys are savage
That's actually a "super secret wavepool" in Vegas!
That is too much to believe I saw gawd
Amazing Dude, nice pipeline =D
woulda been nice to have a couple of non pov shots. they are great but bit monotonous.
except for that first wave
deep af
This spot is just south of Walvis Bay..Namibia..and is accessible.
How do you know what's beyond the grave isn't better than this?
His legs must have been burning during that
Skeleton Diamond
I’m sorry but the first time someone used a GoPro to film first person perspective at SB it was cool. Every video and wave since looks exactly the same. You can’t see what the wait is actually doing, how the person is navigating the wave, nothing. Just a fisheye barrel. The only cool part is when you hold the camera toward you are behind you so we see YOU. Otherwise it could be anyone in that barrel.
I feel like there should be more likes
Still a go to Vid
Absolutely #1 wave on my bucket list. The question is whether it would ruin your life because nothing else could ever compare. Like having sex with two playmates on ecstasy.
whats the song at the 10 minute mark
miragem...
As a bellyboarder, this is a familiar view.
songs pls
An injury so far from any medical treatment would be life changing.
But looks Barrelicious.
Wish everyone could experience a 2 second barrel
the pink floyd makes it 100 times better
Skeleton bay Namibia
Hilarious 🤣
Namibia, Skeleton Bay
From the places I've worked those sand dunes smell of Algeria or Morocco, added bonus of camels and Bedouins.. Dunno could be Namibia and maybe your correct..
Naaa you're on it.. Seeing the dunes on the next vid convinced me.. Hoping for work in Namibia
5:09 Looks like surfing on the surface of Mars
The
riding in the tube is visiting the zone we all visit the zone nobody lives in the zone some people stay in the zone longer than others old Surfer
So far away man
tubo irado
I busted my knee 8 months ago. this is medecine to me right now
Medicine? More like frustration!
its called Skeleton Bay guys,
Really? Thanks.
2:03 holy glassville
❤💋💎💥💗🎠
Wtf how is this even real, is this on another planet, l spent 30 years scratching around in south east oz and one trip to indo, which was ok, but this, l wish l could be reborn in Africa and just herd goats or whatever and live in those sand dunes, and surf with koa and the crew over there at that fantasyland they call Skelton bay.
i like cheese
Kirra was more perfect than Skeletons before the sand pumping !
Stop the sand pumping save Kirra beach

The Chronicles of SSS named my blue heeler “kirra”. She’s quite a bitch
Andy MacKenney im sure she growls alot especially in late summer x
how do you go from pink Floyd to gay bar music? wtf? had to turn sound off!
HAHA
cool video but as soon as I saw the boogie boarder...I was gone. Thanks for sharing though.
Why? That's Koa's brother kook.
County Line is "The Best Wave in the World"..hands down!
Dream On !!!. Skelton Bay when a 1 minute barrel is just the start of your ride
