Mundaka has the Basque Country's cleanest, longest lines. Roka Puta has its best and biggest peaks. But 'The Slab'? Yeah, that place is just crazy.
Welcome to the final episode of Made In The Basque Country, an in-depth, culturally rich exploration of one of the world's most unique and beloved surfing destinations, The Basque Country. As homegrown pro and big wave surfer extraordinaire, Natxo González, continues his journey through the best – and best known – waves of the Basque Country, he makes one final stop at The Slab, to give us a glimpse of the future of big wave surfing in Europe.

Visiting The Slab with Natxo isn't complete without meeting his friend and tow partner Adrian Fernandez, who in this episode illustrates the horrific lengths that he, Natxo and the rest of the crew here are willing to go to redefine big wave barrel riding.
This final episode of Made In The Basque Country, filmed and directed by Jon Aspuru, is designed to thrill – and keep you guessing about what other crazy waves are waiting along the vast shores of Western Europe, and who'll be the surfers to take them on.
While we can't possibly know everyone who'll be willing and ready to surf Western Europe's biggest waves going into the future, you can be sure Natxo and Adrian Fernandez will be among them. Don't miss the grand finale in the video at the top of the page!
