By now, everyone's realized Northern Spain is more than Mundaka and Bakio.
After a couple XXL winter sessions over the last few years, it's clear that the northern tip of the Iberian Peninsula is holding. And due to an earlier-than-normal North Atlantic storm last week, Spanish big wave surfers had a taste of wintertime juice in the middle of summer.
This particular session went down late afternoon, while there were some local chargers surfing Roca Puta on the inside, Spanish big-wave surfer (and Eddie invitee) Ibon Amatriain took his SUP board out to Playa Gris.* |

"It is curious to surf it without a wetsuit," quipped Maza. "But we're not complaining! And we hope the North Atlantic keeps providing good waves." *(Surfline does not endorse or encourage the use of stand-up paddleboards in big surf, by the way.--Ed) SURFLINE HOME PAGE MORE SURFNEWS |
