Justine Dupont rules the inaugural New Big Wave Challenge
Justine Dupont claimed the top honors at the inaugural New Big Wave Challenge awards held in Nazaré, Portugal.
The French big-wave surfer won Biggest Wave, Ride of the Year, and Surfer of the Year in the women’s categories.
Driving her victories was a wave she rode at the Cortes Bank, a rogue seamount 100 miles off the California coast last January while filming for the HBO Documentary Series “100 Foot Wave.”
