Skeleton Bay with the Cape Town crew - video
It's another run to Donkey Bay, this time with the lads from Cape Town who set up a trestle table on the beach to gather and talk shit between waves. A few of 'em are wearing a Trace, the latest gadget that measures distance, direction, and speed. Interesting stuff...if you're the kind of person who counts calories or keeps a scrapbook.
At one point a surfer was heading SE at 39 km/h for 75 metres. Thrilling, eh?
Fortunately the wave, as always, steals the show.

If you get lost you can use it to catch a wave back to where you started. That's a life saved.
SE??? Meaning the swell has to wrap 270 degrees? No wonder it takes a macking swell to get in there!
Hmmm...pulled that co-ordinate off the screen but of course it ain't SE, anyone who's scoped Skeleton on Google Earth knows it breaks to the NE.
Hope Trace is still beta testing 'cos it looks like they have 'emselves a bug.
Someone build a cruise ship terminal in the middle of this wave already!
