France
Benjamin ‘Sancho’ Sanchis has caught more perfect waves than most people can ever dream of. The Frenchman has built up a reputation as a faultless tube rider and big wave lunatic. Sancho is on a constant hunt for two things - big waves and perfect waves. Living right on the sand in Hossegor with some of the worlds best beach breaks in front of him is his base and when the summer party’s cool down and the winter swells rock up he’s out the back going steep and deep. A strong player in the global big wave paddle scene Sancho’s a previous XXL Biggest Wave Award winner. He;s turned heads from huge Mexico, Ireland, Tahiti, Nazare and Mavericks and wherever the big wave forecasts take him. The last couple of winters have been spent filming for what promises to be a super charged movie - be sure to check that out when it drops later this year.
