Oh, man, does the Namaqualand look harsh. It reminds us of a very strict but rich parent who punishes you most severely when you step out of line, but also rewards you with diamonds and gold when you play your cards right. 

One thing’s fosho, the Namaqualand ain’t for the faint of heart. If you enjoy warm water trips to the Maldives where you surf playful 2-3ft runners over a deep water reef, that has a gentle almond shape barrel - we suggest you don’t dare click play. If death slabs, however, are your cup of tea, then by all means, dive in. The waters are rough, but the barrels are wide open.
