Nazaré, Portugal was for centuries just a small fishing village known for its fishermen and dangerous seas. Then one day in 2011, a pro-surfer named Garrett McNamara strapped on a surf board and rode a 78 foot wave right off its coast. It was a new world-record for big wave surfing and the moment that changed Nazaré forever. Now, Nazaré is the capital of Big Wave surfing. The secret to Nazaré’s giant waves lies under the surface, where a huge underwater canyon funnels swells right up to its cliffs, then launches that energy straight up, sometimes 60, 70, or 80 feet. Many surfers visit in the hopes of catching a 100-foot wave.

When the waves are bad, we are so desperate that we will ride urban runoff. Certain wave and tide conditions will build a sand berm that dams a river runoff. The river will break naturally a couple times a month. If the berm is high enough, water will eventually begin to trickle in to the ocean on its own (DIGGING IT OUT IS ILLEGAL) until the the flow rate of the river is so great that it creates some impressive rapids. The board that I am riding in this video is a board that I designed with Catch Surf and am excited to be releasing this month. It is a board that can be used as both a boogie board and a great entry level skimboard. I think it is going to be a big hit with the groms.
