Taj Burrow On His Virgin Namibian Voyage: “A Bodyboarder Got The Best Barrel I’ve Ever Seen In My Life”

Also see: Benji Brand threading tubes on three consecutive waves in a set.

And here we have part 2 of Koa Smith’s 2019 Namibian series, titled African* Love this Place.

Does it compare to the first episode, wherein Koa scored (perhaps) the best wave of his life and captured it from two incredible angles?

From a performance standpoint, no, however it packs a more engaging narrative and storyline, like Taj Burrow recounting the best wave he’s ever seen (ridden by a booger!), their truck getting stuck in the muck, and Benji Brand curling up inside three consecutive waves in the same set. 

That greedy bastard!

Hit play to watch the best wave on earth as ridden by your favorite tube dwellers. 

*For the phonetically challenged, this is meant to be pronounced ‘I-freakin’.
