The owner Alessandro Pierre (Surfboards) from Hossegor has a home in Kommetjie, Cape Town. Whilst this side of the equator he brought over 3 big wave guns for the youngsters to test drive at Cape Town’s Outer Reefs. As a result, I decided to put together a short film about the experience. We were blessed with an epic day of surf. Perfect for the youngsters to show off their skill and give us feedback on the boards. Beyond that, we are currently editing a film on the shaper’s story, Alessandro Pierre – the man behind the boards.

When you see the overseas websites there are so many comments. I guess South Africans don’t like to comment or show their support. This clip is absolutely awesome, thanks so much. Beautiful video and so great to see some young big wave guns in the making. 30 years younger than me and three times bigger balls!! We have our own big wave superstar, Twiggy, wow! So much respect. Then we have our own up and coming superstar, Mathew Bromley, who rips the small stuff, the medium stuf, the big stuff and the scary stuff!!!! I have seen Mathew charging at Dungeons while I was shaking in the boat in the channel. I think SA big wave surfing is safely in Mathew hands. Stoked to see some new blood as well, go boys and someone to give them some exposure in a stunning way.
