Red Bull Big Wave Africa delivered this year like never before, with Dungeons putting on the best show in ten years and showing the whole world what is really going on in the big wave arena down at the tip of Africa.

Supertubes The Wave is examined in the wake of the Billabong Pro J-Bay 2008, and we get some words of wisdom from the event winner and current nine-times world champion Kelly Slater.
