Portuguese Big Wave Surfer Alex Botelho, rides the “Bomb” of the day during an intense Big Wave Session in Praia do Norte, Nazaré – Portugal, it was a spectacular giant wave, carved in white lines due to the heavy wind conditions. The action took place this Saturday, January 6, 2018.

Alex Botelho was the last one in the water when he got the wave in the video, the rest of the crew of about 12 big wave surfers from all corners of the globe, were all already out on the beach and it included names like Lucas Chumbo, Francisco Porcella, Mick Corbet, Hugo Vau, Jarryd Foster, Pedro Calado, Othmane Choufani and others.

Praia do Norte beach, near the fishing village of Nazaré, has become famous for huge waves since Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara set a then record in 2011 for the largest wave ever surfed when he rode a 78-foot wave.
