Paradise Lost Part 1

June 03 2010.Pete Lambert and friends journey to the ends of the earth to tackle pure African perfection

While you where sitting at work, somewhere out there massive barrels are calling. Photo: Peter Lambert

Big swell, offshores, and fat slabs, 3 great reasons to get stuck in the back of a bakkie with zero space. Anyway Sam and Big Red love a good spoon. Photo: Peter Lambert

Its so epic just cruising for hours towards a secret location, never knowing what to expect around the next headland. Photo: Peter Lambert

While looking around for our spot we chanced on this outside right. its a solid 15 foot with a 10 foot close out shorey. Photo: Peter Lambert

Despite looking epic, its just way to big to inspire any stupidity, not even my kind of stupidity. Photo: Peter Lambert

We set up camp as the sun goes down in front of an epic left, everyone is frothing for the morning... and wood. Photo: Peter Lambert

With no firewood or a surf in the bag the boys get loose, but due to the bitter cold we are in bed before 8. Photo: Peter Lambert

Next morning its epic, Over eager me jumps off the top of the point and I duckdive straight into the reef. I dont make the connection between blood and sharks. Photo: Peter Lambert

Don is already out, and hooks a moster closeout, snapping his leash, meanwhile josh plays it safe after seeing don on the rocks. Photo: Peter Lambert

Its totally epic, but massive! I snapped this before being smashed by the bigger one behind it. At least all the diving keeps the blood out my eyes. Photo: Peter Lambert

Rory after missing wave of the day snags a nasty one. Photo: Peter Lambert

Josh on a small one, the peaks where really shifty but there where gems to be had. Photo: Peter Lambert

meanwhile... Ginger... Photo: Peter Lambert

Aka BIG RED, not on the knee for a change flies through a gurgling section. Click to enlarge this one, its well worth the mindsurf. Photo: Peter Lambert

Don sneaks back out, this happy snap is about 40 mins before he breaks his second leash. Photo: Peter Lambert. Stay tuned for part 2 next week...
