“This was one of the best days of my life! Got the longest barrels of my life for 11 hours. Nothing better than getting absolutely shacked with your mates in the middle of nowhere.” So says Matt “Bromdog” Bromley of this recent marathon session at Namibia’s Donkey Bay — and given the 3 kilometres between where the point begins and where it ends, you would guess he covered the official marathon distance of 26 miles and 385 yards — what with waves, the conveyor belt current and run-arounds — with ease.
