Watch: Sancho piped from Hossegor to Biarritz

By now you've probably already seen the land angle of Sancho's barrel at La Nord. If not, see second video below.

Yet now a second angle of the same wave has emerged. It's a drone of course, and it gives the wave the appearance of a Japanese tsunami ready to level a city, before Sancho sets up and pulls in for miles. Somewhere along the way the drone gets his by a bird or a frisbee, but it recovers to record the rest of the ride.

That's one of the best waves I've ever seen. Holy crumbs!

I'd be interested to know how fast that wave is being ridden.
If the fastest man alive can run at about 45km/h, I reckon old mate could be flat strap doing close to the speed at sound on this absolute cranker!

Normally drone footage can be very underwhelming - but that was incredible.
