Crayfish factory is a surfing spot near Kommetjie in South Africa. Its name is derived from the now non-operational crayfish factory nearby. It features heavy, cold waves that are known to break surfboards and limbs.The break needs a massive south to southwest swell and only starts breaking when the other big wave spots are already double overhead.
Pitching on a deep water reef, then sending big spitting barrels along a rock ledge to the safety of the channel. The lips are thick and the wave is heavy.
Famous quotes containing the word factory:
“I reverently believe that the Maker who made us all makes everything in New England but the weather. I don’t know who makes that, but I think it must be raw apprentices in the weather-clerk’s factory who experiment and learn how.... In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
