American big wave surfer Nic Lamb has taken out the 12th edition of the Punta Galea Challenge, held in Bilbao, Spain. Despite losing the World Surf League (WSL) Big Wave Tour (BWT) status, the iconic event got underway in spectacular conditions and surrounded by thousands of surfing fans. With waves breaking in the 18-foot range, Basque Country rider Natxo Gonzalez nailed an incredible 10-point-ride in front of his home crowd, and his performance was hailed as one of the best at Punta Galea.
