Sleep Armed was, in 1988, the third full-length album by the Kalahari Surfers, the recording identity of South African musician Warrick Sony. It has been called "the best snapshot we have of South Africa at the time, right down to the jacket photo of rich surfers on Umhlanga Roxx, a posh White beach in Durban".[1]
