Nic LAMB

He started competing and winning at the age of 9 in Cape Town, South Africa.Nic is the youngest surfer, at age 15, to have taken on Mavericks, a world renowned surf spot in northern California.

They regularly reach 7 metres (25 feet) high and big swells can go as high as 25 metres (80 feet). The surfing conditions are considered so dangerous that very few surfers even attempt it.
At the age of 16 Nic went professional and became California State Champion in his sophomore year of high school.
Nic now competes full time on the World Surf League Big Wave Tour where he came in first place during the Punta Galea Challenge in December 2014.
Known in the surfing world as a “big wave chaser”, he has all his energy focussed and sights set on winning a world title.
