Clip of the Day (Year): Europe in Africa

Africa from French Connexion on Vimeo.


The Clip of the Day just may be the Clip of the Decade. You saw this wave before- a couple years ago Cory Lopez and Ian Walsh trekked half way around the world to surf this jaw dropping left on the west coast of Africa. The problem with their footage though was that it was shot down the beach or just below the whitewater line so it was hard to tell how god the wave truly was. Not anymore. With the help of European surfers Marc Lacomare, Alain Riou, and Aritz Aranburu, they got footage that will make you want to quit your job, kiss the wife goodbye, and give the civilized world the finger. (OK- maybe you want to do that anyway). Regardless, I've never seen barrels this long in my life. It makes the Superbank seem like a joke. Considering it's twice the size, longer barrels, and no one out besides a massive seal population, that's not a hard claim. Enough of all the talk already, just watch the clip and thank me later for your impending enlightenment. Damn this is good stuff.
