I first heard of Skeleton Bay back in 2007, and had been dreaming of surfing it ever since. It appeared so perfect, so flawless, so easy, that you were guaranteed the wave of your life as soon as you drop in. ... I was wrong about most of that. It sure can be perfect, but it is a very difficult wave to surf, and even harder to score since it rarely ever breaks.
I won't say too much here.... But Skeleton Bay is my favorite wave in the world, and going there for the first time was so incredible, I wanted to try and bring that experience back with me to share with all of you.
So grab a snack, sit back, and enjoy the barrel visions, the wipeouts that hardly anyone talks about as much, and the joys of finally crossing off a bucket list surf trip.
