A surfer experiences a terrifying wipeout in Nazare, Portugal, as a huge wave hits surfer Thiago Jacaré, who has a dramatic rescue to get him out of the water.
A dramatic video of the incident shows Thiago Jacaré, 35, hit a bump and fall as he rides a giant wave.
He is immediately swallowed by a wall of white water and is held down for several seconds.
He surfaces just in time to catch a breath before taking another monster wave on the head.
His teammate, big wave surfer David Langer, is unable to rescue Jacaré on his jet ski because he’s floating around right in the impact zone.
Eventually, after taking a total of five waves on the head, German surfer Sebastian Steudtner manages to pick up Jacaré on his jet ski and whisk him away from danger to the beach.
Although completely exhausted, Jacaré was unharmed in the terrifying ordeal.
He was taken by ambulance to hospital as a safety precaution.
“This was by far the worst wipeout of my life, I barely got the chance to breathe between waves,” Jacaré later told the filmer.
“When I got to the sand, I was completely exhausted, to the point I couldn’t even move,” he added.
“I want to thank Sebastian Steudtner for the rescue…I won’t ever forget this day!” he concluded.
Thiago Jacaré is an experienced big wave surfer from Brazil.
He worked for many years as a professional lifeguard and is also involved in the organisation of big wave competitions in Brazil.
Praia do Norte beach, near the fishing village of Nazaré, became famous worldwide for huge waves in 2011 when Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara set a world record for the largest wave ever surfed.

Rescuers are the greats!¡ Mi love and respect for ever!¡!
Worst caught inside everrrr

Il faut faire très attention à Nazaré.C'est un spot unique au monde et très dangereux pour ceux qui surfent, même les plus forts.Ici le surfeur est plutôt bon… vous voyez comme il aurait pu y laisser sa vie.
Oh 🥺🥺🥺 bravo aux sauveteurs !
Wow how the rescuers can drive on the ocean like that – amazing
Super heróis de carne e osso!
The second wave caught a bird who couldn’t fly out of the way of the wave in time.
Scary
The real heroes of the day are the Jet Ski drivers who risk their lives every hour to save others. I salute you for this incredible rescue. That poor man took a battering and it is a miracle he survived in that wave crash zone! Thank god for you guys!!!!
Parabéns ao pessoal corajoso do resgaste…. show de bola !
Bravo! Por los hombres que rescataron a este irresponsable! Más cordura señores!!!
Apesar de tudo, foi um resgate espetacular!
This makes me think twice about even learning to surf. It’s not a swimming pool. It’s not just water, it’s dangerous.
Смотря на все это вспоминаешь пословицу "Когда собачке скучно она себе бубенчики облизывает"
🙄😳🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️🤦♀️🤦♀️🥺🥺
Wow they were absolutely professional and so well organised
Show
Great job rescuers 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 (That is so hard to watch.)😨😰🙏🏻
By far the worst wipeout I’ve ever seen because once you get in a position where you can barely come up for air before another monster hits you you better be able to hold your breath forever ~and a day. Takes a lot of practice. Pray for him!
😰😲🙏🏻
I hope that everyone is well aware of the k38 program that these guys go through to be a vetted qualified ski rescue driver. I watched this video from start to finish and the symbiotic relationship between Surfer and Driver in this situation however critical it was worked out because of practice and our Lord above watching. Nothing but love and Aloha. Uncle Bobby
Keep playing with life and you wont' grow old
Kudos to rescue team and fuckin tourist on the beach 🎉 or are they famship?
Gotta love a good love goofy ride
