BIG WAVE SURFING NEXT LEVEL – Nic Von Rupp Nazaré Huge SWELL & Heavy WIPEOUT

This was Nic Von Rupp’s action in the last Swell at Nazaré. Good waves, big waves and long rides from behind the lighthouse to the inside of Praia do Norte.
Not everything was rosy for the Portuguese who took one of the biggest Wipeouts of the day.
He lost his balance and had to abort the board. The fall was not very serious since he chose to jump headfirst to try to pierce the water so that the wave does not take him away. But not everything went as planned, in the replay it can be seen when the wave takes him “over the falls” in a fall of more than 8 meters. It seems (and we hope that it has been) that at least it gave him time to take one last breath of air before entering hell.
Nic is without a doubt one of the best big waves surfer out there and he has been proving it in every swell.
At the close of last year, Nic said his goal this year was to grow as a big wave surfer and ride the biggest wave of his life. We are in March and it seems that Nic started off on the right foot.
Good job Nic💪

00:54 I remember going over the falls like that once on a (relatively) tiny 8-9 ft wave and legit thinking I was gonna die the way I got slammed. These people are frikkin insane.

I remember surfing here when I was 3 years old. My great grandmudder took me to the shore and fashioned me a surf slab out of a nice piece of driftwood. She widdled that log for 6 days straight, using a rather large piece of coral she had widdled for 3 days straight beforehand. Her skills were so well honed by the ripe age of 107. It's edges were so sharp, that even looking at it would cut our hands instantly. The waves were small the first 5 days and the sun shined brightly, and we soaked it up like sponges left in the Sahara for a whole fortnight. My slab was finished finally, and so too were my Grandmudders fingers. Her work has caused her skin to completely eviscerate, exposing her brittle bones, bleached white by the brilliant sun.. That 6th day, the ocean awoke from its slumber, and within what seemed 1 minute, it roared and grew angry, and Grandmudder took me by my armpits and set me on my slab, and with one last gasp she shoved me out into the waves, for what would be the defining moment in my life til this very day. People came running when they saw her shove me in… but it was too late for that…. I saw the biggest wave the angry ocean could ever muster, heading toward me like a freight train 🚆, and tho I was a litlin then I could easily say it was at least 50 of my cribs high with mean streaks of frothy white lines flowing up its massive face, and it sucked me and my diaper up that face to the tippy top, and at that moment I shit my diaper for the very last time… I was slammed to the depths of the ocean floor and embedded into the sand, my head like a spear went straight down and I ate the ocean and many shells 🐚 that day, and grandmudder, well she was obliterated and washed out to sea never to be seen again…. A brave Portuguese surfer named Shmitty Vicarious Bullshavitski somehow yanked me from my grave and took me in his arms and got me back to the sands of the beach ⛱ and brought my tiny lifeless body back to life… Nazare has a special place in my loins… And tho I I now am old and withered too like my wonderful obliterated Grandmudder, I still go there every day and recall that faitful day, when I learned of the Biggest, meanest, most dangerous waves in the 🌎.. Shmitty joins me there sometimes when the waves become monsters 👻 👽 and tho he is not in the flesh no more, we talk like brudders from different mudders and reminisce of days gone past us….

Nice footage. Man Von Froth popping his head of the giant foam ball was a Great shot. When was this video filmed. From a couple days ago? In Nic's last video he said he hurt his ribs and was pretty beat up. Was this from that session or did the fearless charger go back out the following day? Love your videos! Thank you 😇
