24 year old Argentinian charger Santiago Martinez is a name you might not be familiar with, but get to know it.

The unmissable Teahupoo sets the scene for the fifth entry of the Nomad Big Wave Awards Presented by Emerald City Surf. Just take a few moments to really appreciate the scoop, the amount of water and how deep Santiago gets in this wave. And to wrap it up Santiago’s words ” The waves super scary and happy at the same time, big perfect chopes with just 6 people. It was the dream come true” paints the scene perfectly.
