Big wave surfer Axier Muniain has an incredible surf session in the Basque Country, Spain. Muniain and other experienced European chargers took the correct alignment of swell and winds to surf eight-meter waves in Igueldo, in the North of Spain.

The Spanish pro surfer was towed in by a couple of jet skis, and the wave rides were quite long.

The storm that has been hitting Europe allowed for great big wave surfing sessions in the Old Continent, particularly in Ireland, Portugal, France, Wales, and Spain.

There were solid XXL waves hitting the Iberian Peninsula, and local riders scored incredible walls of water.

Axier Muniain had a full surfing agenda. The surf spots of Orroaga, near Zumaia, and Igueldo delivered rare, huge, and perfect sets to be ridden by Europe's best surfers.

Deba, Roca Puta, Agiti, and Playa Gris are some of the spots that are also explored on big wave surfing days.

Fernando Riazo, Inigo Idigoras, Julen Larranaga, Iñigo Idigoras, Igor Munain, Oscar Gomez, Josetxo Plazaola, Ibon Amatriain, and Indar Unanue are some of the most famous and experienced names in the Spanish big wave surfing scene.
