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:
“... you can have a couple of seconds to rest in. I mean seconds. You have about two seconds to wait while the blanker is on the felt drawing the moisture out. You can stand and relax those two seconds—three seconds at most. You wish you didn’t have to work in a factory. When it’s all you know what to do, that’s what you do.”
—Grace Clements, U.S. factory worker. As quoted in Working, book 5, by Studs Terkel (1973)
