Behind the Lines, Nazare - video

"Nazare...it's exactly the opposite of what everyone thinks. All the surfers out there, they think it's a burger."

Here's footage from the first big swell of the Northern Hemi winter. The swell hit last Friday - where a paddle session went down - and peaked on the weekend when the majority of this clip was filmed.

Some of the best ever footage of those huge peaks . I had to watch it with volume off may have helped the enjoyment level

It was really well done.......maybe it was just me , but I found it a bit underwhelming after that Jaws footage.

Massive surf no doubt.

Luckily it wasn't on WOTD or else all the punters would be on it tomorrow!

Terrifying place to get caught inside. Pretty epic footage & well tackled by those big wave maniacs.....

not a nice feeling knowing your going to wear one on the head after you freefall and skid on face. guts galore.

Gets like that at Trigg probably 1/2 dozen times a year.
