The second of the Rebel Sessions days was called at the Dungeons, Hout Bay on Sunday in the biggest swell to hit Cape Town this winter.
On a cold, wet and blustery Sunday the big wave surfers of Cape Town congregated at the Hout Bay harbor to launch their wave runners and head out for what turned out to be an epic day of big wave surfing with a couple of rides eligible for a share of the R110 000 rebel Sessions prize money.
Having been disappointed by a swell that never reached its predicted size last weekend the eight tow in crews who took to the water this weekend weren’t going to let the wind, rain or freezing water keep them from the huge swells that were unloading at the Dungeons, and as the crews started buzzing around the backline it became clear that this was going to be a special day of surfing.

100 days, 10 Rebel Sessions = 110 K
Cape Town big wave surfers stand a chance to win a share of R110 000 (about $16000.00) in the just announced: Rebel Sessions 2011.
Rebel Media have announced the prize money to be awarded for the best waves surfed and recorded at the legendary Dungeons reef at Houtbay, or the lesser-known offshore reefs at nearby Kommetjie.
From July 15th to 22nd October, the committed few who ride giant waves off the Cape of Storms every winter will be filmed and photographed by the Rebel Media crew on the ten best days of surf of 15 feet or over.
A panel of three local and three international surfing legends will judge the footage at the end of the period.
R50 000 will go to the surfer of the best big wave paddled into, R30 000 for the best tow-in wave, R20 000 for the biggest wave paddled into and R10 000 for the biggest wipeout in either category.
Rebel Media will provide specialist big wave camera crews by local production company Fixerfilm on the ten biggest and best days of surfing in the period. Cameras will film the action from the land, from a boat and from a specialized jet ski to get the best possible footage, which will be posted on rebelsessions.com. Ultimately, the footage will be edited into an international documentary.
