Swellnet readers will know that we're shameless cheerleaders for Natxo Gonzalez. Fella was unknown out of his home coast when he stormed the Punta Galea Challenge four years back and asserted himself among the hairiest chests in big wave surfing. Ol' Natxo has since expanded his repertoire, stuffing his jailhouse striped boards into all manner of waves: from perfect Skeleton Bay, to big Mataveri, and now slabbing Ireland. In fact all those vids have been shown on Swellnet in just the past week.
