Dungeons, South Africa – A cold-water beast lurking beneath the cliffs of Hout Bay, this infamous big-wave spot delivers monstrous right-hand slabs that explode over a jagged reef, demanding courage, precision, and a fearless mindset from those who dare to charge it.
In addition entries accepted from:
Sunset, Factory, Bayview and Platbank will all be accepted if above 12-15ft
After a seven-year hiatus, this contest will gather the best local and international chargers to take on some of the heaviest waves out there.
Rebel Media will be partnering with the Big Wave Alliance, founded by Gary Linden, to foster the next generation of big wave surfers and further challenge the norms of competitive surfing.
Matthew Bromley - Chairman of the Big Wave Trust
“On behalf of the Big Wave Trust, we’re excited to reignite the energy and get people back out at Dungeons and Sunset. There’s been a noticeable decline in surfers, especially at Dungeons, and we want to bring the excitement back.”
Gary Linden - Big Wave Alliance Founder
Tying up Rebel Sessions with the Big Wave Alliance allows us to nominate a participant to the Big Wave World Championship event in 2025 and 2026, which gives the local Big Wave community another chance to demonstrate their skills and commitment on the international scene
