“It looked really clean, one of the cleanest days that I’ve seen [at Praia do Norte],” said German charger Sebastian Steudtner. “It’s a beachbreak so energy moves around all the time. The first wave I caught was really bumpy and I just tried to get down the face as fast as I could. The third wave was the biggest I caught that day. It was a big, long left. I was surfing for 6 hours straight…It was giant. I don’t think I ever went this fast on a surfboard.”
