Once is not custom, not a Hawaiian surfer and California who shot the biggest wave this year, but a German rider. There are lots of surfers in Germany even if they are not lucky enough to live in front of class spots. We already knew Marlon Lipke who qualified last year for the elite of professional surfing. The Billabong XXL Awards have just revealed the world of surfing the big wave rider Sebastian Stouter .

Sebastian Steudtner did not train to ride the wave of artificial river Eisbach in Munich but in Hawaii, where he travels every year since he was 16. The young surfer from Nuremberg was not afraid
