Namibia: Donkey Bay received it's first good waves for the year! (drone video)

Donkey Bay (or Skeleton Bay), located just outside of Walvis Bay on your way out to Pelican Point and actually not too far from Swakopmund, is known for having one of the world's best waves to surf. The Bay received it's first good waves for the year some days ago, so Bernt Bruns, a local from Swakopmund, took his drone up in the sky and filmed the video below... Stunning! Kudos Bernt!
