Dungeons shows it's Teeth - The first proper session in 2011

The Cape big wave community are abuzz with excitement after the first real swell of the year pulled into Cape Town last week. It was not pretty, but there were definitely some decent and pretty large waves ridden by the Tow Crews. I am really looking forward to seeing some of the paddle sessions when they get posted. The Rebel Tv Big Wave challenge is on here and it's pushing the crews here to go for broke. Check out Dungeons looking angry below:



The second of the Rebel Sessions days was called at the Dungeons, Hout Bay on Sunday in the biggest swell to hit Cape Town this winter.
On a cold, wet and blustery Sunday the big wave surfers of Cape Town congregated at the Hout Bay harbor to launch their wave runners and head out for what turned out to be an epic day of big wave surfing with a couple of rides eligible for a share of the R110 000 rebel Sessions prize money.
Having been disappointed by a swell that never reached its predicted size last weekend the eight tow in crews who took to the water this weekend weren't going to let the wind, rain or freezing water keep them from the huge swells that were unloading at the Dungeons, and as the crews started buzzing around the backline it became clear that this was going to be a special day of surfing.

Crazy man jumps off of Chapman's Peak

What makes a man jump off a cliff face? To be honest I don't know and you would have to ask our mate Leander, who takes great joy in jumping off of very high things. Just yesterday morning he became the first person to Base Jump off of Chapmans Peak in a Fox suit - no this is not a suit that makes you more foxy for the opposite sex, it has wing like attachments and enables the jumper to fly more horizontilay. I think.

Check the video out, its madness I tell you:
