Basque surfer Aritz Aranburu was fortunate enough to unleash some of his powerful trademark hacks in between countless barrels at Wavegarden’s demo center in the Basque mountainside recently.

Reporters from El País – one of Spain’s most prominent newspapers – visited Wavegarden HQ’s on a content gathering mission for a video they are making about Wavegarden. Their crew of photographers and cameramen were keen to see how the local hero would perform on the waves at his local surfspot.

“I just love riding the barrel and it’s great to get so many in one session”, said Aritz. 

A test pilot since 2009, Aritz has witnessed the full evolution of the company

“I still get surprised every time I surf here. The team at Wavegarden really listen to the feedback provided by the surfers and we can see the results; the technology just keeps getting better.”
