Watch: Von Froth // Surfing Europe's Most Dangerous Wave
It's a perfect Portuguese day with a morning sesh at Coxos followed up by a relaxing paddle at Cave.

"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

That relaxing paddle at Cave had me watching with a screwed up grimace the whole time. Heavy!
I like the 2 wetsuits style, mad surfing!
I wouldn't be able to fulfil my obligations as a pro surfer if I had to:
. Gesticulate and over froth in front of a video camera at the jet ski ramp
. Ride a jet ski
. Be picked up by a jet ski at an average six foot day at the local reef
. High five and bro hug for the cameras a the jet ski ramp
I feel uncomfortable watching that!
Yeah, but there are natural extroverts out there. I don't think he's acting, he's just comfortable being obnoxiously effusive.
More dangerous than Nazare?
Von froth double wetty only got one at caves (surfing allday there??) anyway his mates scored
Living his best 'Von Froth' life!
Pretty sick day of waves by the look of it. Would have been a lot of spots pumping up and down the Porto coast for sure.
So much high-fiving, etc he could be rapping soon.
Waves are great.
The merchandise pitch at the end of the high fiving was even worse.
I don't know how far these idiots will go for ratings. Stupidly insane wave. Whats the point. Good for them if they scored. Not for me thanks
4 min of footage for one minute of surfing and three minutes of ....... what, exactly?
I don't think I've ever been so relieved to see anyone go over the falls.
Stu's economy of introduction duly noted.
