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.


Skeleton Bay, a few years ago, it was just another point on a remote desert sand, now is fascinating for surfing perfection. It is located in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia and south of Angola from the Kunene River south to the Swakop River.

Skelton Bay is in the middle of a national park and has recently been declared a protected marine reserve. The coastline is littered with countless tiny creatures that live in the quicksand and sparse vegetation. There are also notable birds on the beach and in the nearby lagoon and the odd Jackal and lots of seals lounging on the beach.

   The wave that forms in Skelton Bay is a wave that offers more than any other, a wave that can not be compared to any other wave that may exist. A wave that offers the longest tunnels in the world, breaking on the sand.
  
Sharks are attracted to the seals but actually the biggest obstacle to the surfer are officials of the National Park. After a small minority of surfers has abused the rules and regulations that have been put to protect Skelton Bay, have banned surf anywhere within the park grounds and permits are needed to surf this paradise surfing.
