16-year-old @aduramatriain is catching up fast thanks to a borrowed 8’0” from his older brother @iker_amatriain. Iker, who also charged hard during the @quemao_class in Lanzarote, Canary Islands 🇮🇨, missed today’s action at his favorite local big wave spot. However, check pics 2 & 3 to see how Adur also paid the ultimate price today. 📷: ibon Amatriain (their proud dad) #surfingthebasquecountry #aduramatriain #pukas #pukassurf #rokaputa #surf #pukasspicyxl #axellorentz (en Basque Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UQYJQIML3/?igshid=1i9lda0gz5d11

Calling it (and it’s only mid December) the best winter season in the Basque Country in recent years. Lots of good waves equals to lots of people truly happy. @imanolyeregi is all smiles, as it is the Pukas gun by @eye_symmetry 8’4 x 18 3/4 x 2 3/4, a PE board with tinted epoxy resin with the australian blue-ringed octopus on the bottom.

Hooray 🥇⚡️!! @puntagaleachallenge XIV gifted us with the best Big Wave event yet. The Basque Country’s Ría de Bilbao saw occasional 5-6m waves in an all-time Punta Galea, blessed with offshore winds, consistent sets and a performance that was rewarded with two 10’s during an epic final. 🥇 @lucaschumbo (10) 🥈 @pierre_rollet_ (10) 🥉 @alex_botelho 4th @indar 5th @fabian_campagnolo 6th @txunami #surfingthebasquecountry #surf #surfing #bigwaves #puntagalea (en Acantilado Punta Galea Algorta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6K2bWwI2IL/?igshid=1jp6gjd0s8ab5
