The skeleton coast of Namibia. Paradise for surfing

Namibia is one of the last frontiers in the world for surfing. It has extreme isolation, hostile terrain and impossible access and combine with cold water, strong currents, heavy fog, unpredictable conditions and lots of big sharks to keep them at bay. The entire coast of Namibia, more than 1,500 km long, forms a part of the world's oldest desert, the Namib Desert is characterized by huge red dune in the south coast so completely inaccessible.
