As we take our time in and around Cape Town, I thought I would do some research on this Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing event. I am embarrassed to say I have never attended it before, and so I know nothing about the event or dungeons. However, upon closer inspection it seems that dungeons made a wave last year that would make Mark Wahlberg cry. I am fairly afraid of the ocean and I don’t even really swim in it that often, because it’s not really my territory. It’s the sharks territory and so I like to keep at arms length from it. So these guys who willingly enter it, to surf these killer waves, clearly are a little mad in the head.
You know, I have done some crazy things in my life, like the days when I used to burn ants with a magnifying glass at home. I also went through a stage of playing marbles at school. Then there was the time I played hockey in standard 9, for the E team I think. Yeah, I am crazy! But these guys definitely make my achievements look like nothing!
The photo in the link below will blow your mind. I never knew the power of dungeons until I saw this beast of a wave, waiting to eat a surfer, and the entire coastline. I don’t think it was for the competition but it was surfed at dungeons and won the Biggest Wave Award at the 2006/7 Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards. It’s completely insane.
Anyway, if that’s what dungeons has to offer then I cannot wait to get there when the competition starts! I’m keeping an eye out on the website, so when the man goes green, and the competition starts, I am going to be there. Until then, I’m sitting around looking for other articles to write, possibly something involving cars on a race track, and the inside track on the whole thing.
But that’s for another time.
The weather in Cape Town is currently quite cold, and due to some sort of gas supply shortage, my gas heater is not working so I am in a bad place right now. But it’s still not a bad place to be, and we wait for dungeons to throw out some killers.
