Watch: Nazare Bombs From The Water
Tim leaves the safety of the grandstand for a dink across centre stage.

"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’s a very well put together edit by Tim with some beautiful images at times.
Cheers sprout .. how’s that keg at the end .. I watched it 6 times .. INSANE.. what a beast of a wave
And how stoked was he? "Wave of my life". Epic.
Can't watch anymore of his slomo shite again. I'm done.
Raymond ol Chap...Hit the mute button and adjust the Playback to 1.5,
Edit: Actually its ok unmuted
Thank you Tim for showing us the shit that goes down out there ….
I can just imagine the haters going into full blown fetus position if one of those fuckers mowed them down ….
Looks great for a second when it stands up then its all fading back on a massive shoulder and chop hops? for effect ... even the good surfers are struggling to make it look good. Euro (look at me )easy big wave scene got nothing on Hawaii
If u got nothing nice to say then don't say anything. I got nothing to say.
To me Nazare looks like a much better wave at this size.
8-10 foot hollow spitting peaks close to shore
Always wondered what it broke like under normal conditions, much more appealing. just imagine a cleanup set though.
there must be more than 30 jetskis out there
I enjoyed it and the music was excellent.
Genuine question - where's the money in this?
Can't imagine there'd be enough coming in via sponsorship to make big wave riding/filming a viable financial option for a life/family. Must cost a fortune to have skis and drivers at the ready, and all the kit needed for the photog crew.
How does it work?
I was wondering the same thing Stok.
Maybe there is a mainstream audience for it in Europe?
I have a feeling that the town of Nazare pays for water safety, and possibly more. Probably paid for with EU Structural Funds (slush funds for development of 'peripheral areas' of EU, and grossly plundered by local govt/businesses).
Big Wave surfing has put Nazare on the tourist map.
ah, makes sense.
