Nacho Gundensen's Big Shot: "When the wave of the day is meant to hit you, it hits you."
He was returning from surfing and there was a spare intermediate who was the tube of the day; this is how the Argentine told it.

Nacho Gundensen was surfing the famous Matadeiro in Floripa yesterday and after surfing one, he paddled back and the line up didn't make it to this gem.
"I caught it coming back from another wave. One of those where there are people waiting, but you have plenty of them. When the wave of the day is meant to hit you, it hits you," he told DUKE.
He added: "I grabbed it at the last moment and it was a blast." The late drop was so late that the filmmaker didn't have time to catch it in time. But he left it in the perfect spot for Nacho to be deep enough to sink the blast.
And, as if that weren't enough, he fitted the cutback and the reverse.
It was a 10 in the eyes of any human being.
