- With waves coming from different angles when surfing at Nazaré in Portugal, things here can get extremely dangerous. What creates these ginormous waves and why are they so deadly?

I’ve been watching Nazare surfing footage here on RUclips for many years and I think many would agree with me in saying that this is some of the very best footage ever filmed - I think you were particularly lucky to get that last day with a combination of lighting and very clean sea state, with major swells.
That said I really ask the BBC to do a separate edit where you turn this 10 minutes sequence into a much longer documentary which does the following:
1/ shows the full ride of a given wave sequence, with long clear prologue to the ride and long epilogue, so that each ride really stands out as a long sequence on its own combining all the footage as well as the commentary and interviews with the participants
2/ introduce the team that is working Cameraman/jet ski drivers and get their observations down on Audio and to cut them with the sequences as above
3/ use absolutely zero Cliché music and only the sounds of the sea and the environment
***
The BBC probably has the budget and resources to do this but if any independent filmmakers want to do the same thing I think they’d be a big audience out here for such a documentary with such an original angle.
That said you were super lucky to get such great sea state and lighting conditions for those and sequences, thanks for a great job and great storytelling
hi ha una gran transmissió en directe de @bigwavegrandprix que podeu gaudir
Mother nature is showing her raging power and we tiny human just play it as a sport. Marvelous shots.
This is absolutely breathtaking, I can only imagine actually being out there,whooooooooo!!!!!!
Spectacular waves 🌊 I wonder if Andrew saw God when he crashed in 2017 and got crushed by the big wave?
We just moved close to Nazare and I take surfing classes and you start on baby waves 1 to 2 meters, they slappen me absolutely silly a few times, imagine that times ten…
These guys are absolute legends, crazy legends….
My instructor said: “yeah that’s 25% skill and 75% crazy”

This is simply magnificent 🤩
The waves are triangular and don't form nice tubes. Angry waves.
Totally rad
Thank you!
Hey, that's the "They Will Kill You" voice 😊 Moving up in the world 👍
Not as big the waves dad makes with bombs in the pool, he must fart at tge same time wow
You survived man. What a victory!
AWESOME!
Im sorry but being pulled into a wave by a jetski IS NOT SURFING! Its called TOWIN Boarding.
🌊🌊🌊
Who has the biggest?
Very cool, but why does the narrator sound like an asthmatic playing it cool after a flight of stairs?
Got to have some big tackle to surf those waves.
Where is this tho?
Portugal
Nazare, Portugal. Check out the show 100 foot wave
If you pay attention to what is said you hear the name:
Nazaré, mainland Portugal's west coast.
Nazaré has what we call a 'wedge', waves that crisscross and double up. They are not from big swells like the waves in Hawai'i.
Had we swells like the ones that reach Hawai'i and the size at Naza would tip the 100' scale easily.
❤❤😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
This is fake A.I. There is no such thing as surfers.
I would just prefer to admit that I don't have the bulbous protrusions for this...
Lol
This is in my bucket list. Got to overcome my fear of huge water bodies.
You’ll never surf big waves 😂
@0warami_7oo That wont be due to lack of trying...You dont know me do you?
