“Today was next level, it was survival, it was just heavy.

I am stoked. I want to dedicate this to my wife and my young little daughter who is 15 months. They are in California at the moment.”

25. VARIOUS OF MITCHELL WITH TROPHY

STORY: Australia’s Jamie Mitchell on Tuesday (December 20) became the first winner of Portugal’s big wave Nazare Challenge, the newest addition on the Big Wave Tour.

It was 39 year-old Mitchell’s first Big Wave Tour win and he owned every heat riding 10 to 15 metre surf.

“What an amazing day just to be here and what an amazing place just to be involved in the first one is special but to make the final and be able to win, it’s just like blowing my mind right now,” Mitchell said after finishing the competition.

Mitchell has been practicing at Portugal’s Nazare for the past few months and earned the highest scores in all three heats.

The brutal waves of Nazare provoked their share of wipe-outs highlighting the dangers involved in surfing the massive waves.

“Today was next level, it was survival, it was just heavy,” Mitchell said. “I have seen Nick Lamb, all these guys take horrendous wipe-outs all around the world and Nick was messed up out the back and I was like, ‘Hey, you probably shouldn’t catch another wave.’ Yeah, I mean it was gnarly. I am stoked. I want to dedicate this to my wife and my young little daughter who is 15 months. They are in California at the moment,” Mitchell added.

Mitchell topped the table with a score of 23.94, followed by Brazil’s Carlos Burle with 13.00. Portuguese Joao de Macedo came in third scoring 10.84.
