SKELETON BAY, Namibia – Kai Lenny truly is the ultimate water man. As a professional big wave surfer, windsurfer, kiteboarder, foilboarder, wing foiler, and pretty much everything else you can do on a wave, his legendary status isn’t unfounded. Recently he took a last minute trip to Skeleton Bay in Namibia, home to one of the world’s longest barrels. He claims he packed light, bringing just his kiteboard, his foilboard, 4 surfboards, a 7m kite, and a 3.5m wing. That doesn’t seem like light packing to me, but it makes for an epic video.
“With 12 hours noticed my friends Nathan Florence, Kohl Christensen and Zoard invited me on an Expedition to Skeleton Bay, Namibia. I traveled light, with Two Board bags = Kiteboard, Foilboard, 4 Surfboards, 7m Kite, 3.5m Wing. Would have loved to Windsurf it but the forecast didn’t show as much wind as we got. Regardless, one of the most epic trips with Big Wave Legends!“
Skeleton Bay is some serious surfing, truly meant for advanced surfers only. If you truly believe you’d be able to surf the area, there are some tours, like South Africa Surf Tours, that can take you up there. You have to get a quote to know the price for sure, but their estimated cost sits at around $1,200 USD per person for four days.
