Giant killing continues near Dungeons

With an epic session at Cortes well documented and appropriately awarded this year, it was always a case of what next for the leading big wave chasers.  Whilst hard to definitively say that one wave is bigger than the other, the waves ridden near Dungeons at a lesser known reef called Tafelberg are being put at plus 70ft.

For Greg Long and Grant Baker, they were in no doubt about the immensity of what they had ridden after seeing the shots. Having ridden Cortes in January with Brad Gerlach and Mike Parsons, these waves were 'on a par' and they maintained Tafelberg would go bigger.

It's been a good few weeks for Baker.  He won the 10th Red Bull Big Wave Africa paddle-in at Dungeons a couple of weeks ago and has a partner who seems to know just where to find those giants.
