From Pipe, Naz, Chopes, even way out to sea at Cortes Bank, Tucker Wooding has chased down Lucas 'Chumbo' Chianca, frantically flicking his thumbs to keep up with the fella called Lead - the heavy metal not the thing you walk your dog with.

Older brother of Joao, Chumbo is a big wave specialist, who, along with sometime-tow partner Kai Lenny, is bringing small wave acrobatics to a big wave canvas. Because of this, he's one of those surfers it's always worth watching when they takeoff: he'll either do something you've never seen before or get swatted trying.

In other words, a great entertainer.
