My Octavious Poviuous: I’m dead 💀🤡
Even if the aliens see this they will be really impressed 👏
How big was this wave??
Germans are famous for being the worlds top falsificaters of data and historical facts, so how can we know that they didnt manipulated this result?
I’ve been to Nazare. Heaviest shit I’ve ever seen. I was there in 2019 on a light set at 50-60ft waves
Who be surfing on a 39 metre wave huh
My whole screen was a wave!
Beautiful. I think many people don't realize that the "smooth appearance" of the Wave Wall is deceptive. In addition to flying across at those high speeds, the Surfer is also trying to balance against the Chop vibrating & banging the Board as it skips along.
Nazaré officially opened in 2010 & to date (2023) there has only been one Death by a Brazilian Surfer. I think this is due to the sheer, unadulterated Focus & Mindfulness a Surfer applies each & every time. Often Wipe Outs occur with a simple, sloppy moment where a Surfer might be rushing the Wave or perhaps being impatient with other factors. Some Surfers can be a bit reckless and push the Limits of his/her Skill Set. It seems there is no "guessing" or rushing a Decision to take a Wave at Nazaré.
DUDE SWEET
Sweet
That fade at 0:06 is one of the heaviest maneuvers in surfing history
Umm.. still don't think this is real.. this way out in the open from the shore? How come no damage to land after it lol
