Being born in Nazare, my dad used to take us fishing in Praia do Norte beach. Sometimes we just stayed long periods looking at those massive and mysterious waves. Yet nobody was ever surfing them due to their gigantic size. Then Gerrett came along and put my beloved town in the spotlight around the world ... god bless you man.

that shit is badass

[Marc Phillips]

I agree with you. I've always thought the Hawaiian method was dumb.

So, your interest isn't surf, break records!? It's ferocious things? Ok, let me know when you have in mind to go there (for surfing of course! lol), and i promise you that ferocious things will be there waiting for you, asshole!

the explosion and spot of nazare well known to surfers is not the ferocious of some other spots in the world. it is not only heights about the wave but also how ferocious how round long shore break and explosive it is. just for breaking records is not interesting surfing.

So you're one of the 38.

[Mac Mo]

awesome..take it to the limit

[Anondlynn]

really important news here....someone's adrenalin rush

[Peter OLoghlen]

That Hawaiian method is ridiculous. You don't surf the back of the wave and the back height can vary depending on the depth of water the wave is breaking on even though the face is the same height.
