- Justine Dupont was recognized with premier accolades at the debut New Big Wave Challenge awards in Nazaré, Portugal.
The renowned French wave rider bagged the titles for Biggest Wave, Ride of the Year, and Top Female Surfer.
Her triumphant wave at the Cortes Bank, an isolated seamount 100 miles from the Californian coast, was captured last January for the HBO Documentary Series "100 Foot Wave."
Experts estimated the wave's face to be around 75 feet, making it a potential contender for the Guinness World Record.
"It's nice to once again experience a beautiful evening dedicated to big wave surfing. I hope the event will last and continue to grow. Many thanks to Bill Sharp for starting it again," shared Dupont.
Hawaii's own Nathan Florence also had a standout performance, securing two Oscar-like awards for Ride of the Year and Top Male Surfer.
The wave Florence mastered at Mullaghmore Head, Ireland, was voted as the season's finest for 2022/2023 by a group of 200 surf connoisseurs through a confidential vote.
There was a tie in the men's Biggest Wave category: Nic Von Rupp's wave at Nazaré was judged on par with the one Shaun Walsh conquered at Jaws, Maui.
The Paddle Accolades were awarded to Chacha Ibarra at Punta de Lobos in Chile and Laura Enever, who surfed a monumental wave on Oahu's North Shore last January, potentially setting another Guinness World Record.
Young talent Ned Hart from Dunsmore, Western Australia, was acknowledged as the Emerging Star for his outstanding performance at Shipstern Bluff, Tasmania when he was merely 16.
Shipsterns also gave Danny Griffiths the title of Wipeout of the Year.
This New Big Wave Challenge event was special as, after a gap of three years, it once again offered a stage for the best in big wave surfing to shine.
The event's visionary, Bill Sharp, expressed his elation.
"Big wave surfing once again has a platform where the surfers, the photographers, and the enthusiasts can unite to celebrate the pinnacle of the sport," the founder Bill Sharp articulated.
"The overwhelming support and success of this inaugural event has left me overjoyed. We're witnessing the dawn of something monumental."
"With the inaugural awards concluded, our sights are set on the upcoming 2023/2024 season, with predictions pointing towards an exceptional El Niño-induced winter."

The last ride was absolutely insane. I had to pause and rewind it about 10 times.
I'm thinking; "that HAS to be a relative of THE Nat"
They are all amazing but I'm completely stoked for Nathan, he's worked his ass off, broken back and all to win this! Way to go dude...
I have heard that Illuminati scientists have created Monsters, Dinosaurs & ET's using gene splicing tech. Recently SCORPIONS released a new shark song called UNLEASH THE BEAST which is also the slogan for Monster Energy drink. Loosely translated Teahupo'o means place of severed heads. Feb 10th is the beginning of the yr of the Satanic Dragon on the Zodiac calendar. Is a 65 ft genetically modified Great White Shark scheduled to make a guest appearance at the 2024 Summer Olympics Surfing competition at Teahupo'o ? I don't know but it would be an epic end to #11's legendary Surfing career. Ke11y was born in a lab on Feb 11th & won his 11th world title in the 11th month of 2011. The I11uminati believe Satan is the King over the abyss in Rev 9:11 which is incorrect, Jesus Christ holds the key to the abyss !!! The heavy metal band ACCEPT released a song called Pandemic in 2011 then 9 years later a man made parasite (Con vid) was used to fear people into in jections that contain nanobots that cause strokes, heart attacks, Bell's Palsy, Shingle & Cancers. These nanobots can be switched on with certain 5G frequencies to make people sick & that's a FACT ! They might say Marburg has merged with Rabies in Zambia African Fruit Bats to form the Zambia Apocalypse plan demic, MARBIES. I coined the term MARBIES :)
To top it off they use directed energy to create hurricanes, tornadoes, large hail, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis & perfect swells ! My friend Coralyn worked for DARPA on the HAARP Project during the 90's. Coralyn refused to remain silent so they car accidented her in 2019. Do you find it a little odd that Mountain DEW released the soda Maui Burst 3 years & 300 days before the Maui fire? A DEW is a military acronym for Directed Energy Weapon which is what was used to incinerate Maui ! Revelation is nearing the end & billions are going to d ie.
Is the Feb 11th Super Bowl the next I11uminati terrorist at tack ? The address of A11egiant stadium is 3333 A11en Davis Way Las Vegas NV zip CODE 8-911-8. The war in the Middle East will turn into WW3 & 1/3 of the human race will perish, 2.7 billion people. All wars are orchestrated by the Central banksters. Troops are merely duped pawns in the game of war. My guess is DA11AS, America's Team, the Cowboys will win their 6th Super Bowl to complete the 666 trifecta with the Steelers & Patriots as planned decades ago. Yes, money sports are rigged. I guarantee that Tiger Woods & his remote controlled golf balls will win 3 more Majors to tie Jack's record but the white racist actor will stop Tiger from breaking Jack's record. Elite golfers use remote controlled golf balls. The NBA & NFL use remote controlled balls. Back in 1949 Ben Hogan was in a fake car accident & he came back to limp around the Majors tour to win 6 more Majors, the fans loved it! Tiger also had a fake car accident with fake injuries.
Beyonce & Judas Priest guitarist Glenn Tipton said when they are on stage it's like they are possessed because they are!!! Music stars channel Demons to write & play music. If you don't believe Demons are real then you really are obtuse :)
This is true he is such a deserving legend
Huge congrats to everyone on here. That young gun wave was insane. Nate is just on fire lately
On the wave I consider most radical.
Thanks for posting. Absolutely insane and props to these incredible athletes! Nate's wave at Mullaghmore was psycho
he just locked in
The last ride should win the next 10 editions ❤❤❤
Young gun of the year was one of the sickest rides I’ve seen in a long time!
Big Cangrats to Nathan Florance broken back and all. True Champion drive
That young gun ride was something special ! Wow !
Shipstern Bluff is so menacing, the thickness of the lip and that secondary wave that spits you off the face into that dark Southern Ocean, awesome.
One of the first times I’ve ever seen someone make a Shipsterns wave. Nate and Justine’s waves were incredible also.
That Ned hart wave is absolutely ridiculous 😅 that’s some big kahunas
Epic footage, Shipstern Bluff one of the scariest waves in the world to surf. I won't be doing it in my lifetime..!
Awesome!! Well done. Justine's wave maybe the biggest ever rode by a woman! Thanks.
If it were Kai on that same wave, he would have been deep under that lip. She was basically launched by a ski and went straight until it was over.
100% @@markkindermannart4028
are you sure that was a woman? looked like a mannequin to me.
Surfing is the most amazing sport there is and this is just magical, a fantistic selection of miracle rides, just breathtaking
It ain't a sport tho ... it's a way of being !
The last ride should be the wave of the century!!!
Just Wow. The way that guy surfed the last wave was impecable.
that last wave ride was impressive, not easy to have pulled that off
Ned Hart for sure. Hart by name… heart by nature. Beautiful composure in the worlds most difficult break..for sure
Thank You and Congrats to all the Winners!!!
Just the most brilliant examples of wild water I absolutely loved this 😮😮😮
.Very Impressive drop and pull in under the curtain from Ned Hart!
Justine's wave is Huge!!!
Just went straight tho
Yeah Nate!!! Such a deserved win.
Young gun!! (With respect to all)
Ned Hart for big wave of the year! Anything at Shipsterns Bluff is gnarly, but to paddle in, take the double drop then duck the curtain for a barrel and ride away clean... that is beyond next level.
holy **** that wipeout.......
Nature at its serious best. Well done Nathan. That’s serious.
❤❤❤amazing people … Huge waves like a monster 🌊🌊🌊💀💀💀💀💯🏄🏽
Ned Hart was am amazing ride …😮
F-CKING amazing hats off to all of them
* u
I think Ned has a new category. Most technical way...WOW
incredible
*EPIC!!!*
Cheers to all
Big Waves Sweetheart- Justine! A LOT of water over her head there.
OK Video
Please also include real time speed, of each
Yes ! Please
Well deserved
Last one was the ultimate holy shit ride of all holy shit rides
MERCI
Ned's wave should be in the air drops or tricks competition. Nothing but trash wave with excellent air landing technique. Not for a big wave competition. Nate's wave was a rare gem at the Irish spot and handily defeats the others shown in the vid. So many waves not even allowed an entry into a heavily one sided/biased competition made for the masses. So many Aussie slab riders and random others around the world can easily be in this competition.
Nice paddle inby Laura Enevers.
So sick.
Epic
The correct use of the word awesome
Sick, sick, sick.... got a sub right there, with bell notifications.... just sayin...
JD on the monster
I literally just got wave after wave after wave of monster goosebumps starting with Justine’s ride. God I love these guys ~ all of them!!!👏🏼👏🏼🫠 (Oh - and no pun intended. Seriously!) 😂😂😂
The young gun clip- far f*cking out!!!!!!!!!!!
3:21 sweet jesus
Ireland represents! 😂
Nobody can navigate the foamball like Nathan Florence.
U
N
Real.
🏆🏆🏆🎉🙏
Ned Hart for ride of the year
Twiggy at dungeons for paddle of the year
Wipeout of the CENTURY. The other highlights were awesome too, especially the "Young Gun" recovery gem; Just sayin'.
Shot Nathan Florence, n all the winners..the last one 😮 my..🇳🇿✌️
Man, all those waves were amazing. But the drop on Justine's wave gave me mass chicken skin.
How Ned Hart managed to land the jump, and then tuck into the dicey barrel? Not bad at all
You should have to make the wave to get an award except for Wipeout. Ned should have won best wave.
3:38 it's ok with this guy? 😱
Ned Hart by a country mile!
nedcrbat wings
Yep Ned Hart should have got it!!!!! Nathan Florence was just take off and keep the line not like huge steps and barrel at Shipsterns that Ned had to deal with. Absolute Rip Off!!
😳👍
Nathan should be eliminated for being a cocky bastard riding a beastly wave with a camera in his mouth! Elf an safety innit?
Justine should be eliminated for putting all the seriously sponsored surfers to shame! Too good to be stickered?
Chacha should be eliminated for being too crazy to paddle in! And getting too smoked on that monster?
Laura should be eliminated coz she’s an Aussie right! Nuff said… But fekkin nuts to go on that one?
Von Froth the Rupp should be eliminated because he’s too good! It’s unfair?
Shaun should be eliminated because the photographer was too chicken to paddle out! And because his wave was too big to count?
Danny needs his brain examined after he gets out of traction, Ned needs to examine his wave choices if wants to be an Old Gun! But making it through that chit on his feet an’ all, I’m giving Ned the nod.
World big wave elimination awards have officially eliminated all contest entries the prize money is set to be divided up into equal parts and subsequently eliminated.. Elimination round is over and the winners will be announced via uhf radio.
Currently mr no one is the peoples fave to take the grand eliminatorial initiation at tea ho hou a poo oo
Ian - Brits always with the neg complaints and agro vibes !!!!!

glad I never won wipe out of the year
I think I figured it out -why the ladies tackle these monsters also.
It's a totally and completely different reason than the guys (I think...)
For guys:
-- They have something they need to run from.
-- They're unable to have children themselves - it's deep rooted.
For ladies:
-- It's all about not being minimized by the guys (most guys are unknowingly chauvinistic - likely myself included I'm sure)
When the ladies are out there charging, the men are all like "Hey, you can already make babies, what are you trying to prove?"
Go finish your breakfast ... you m*r*n !!!!!!!
🤙🌈🙏💖
Barrel dodger
Psycho
C'est une blague !des losers qui sont incapables de prendre des vague]s sans jetski.et ils se disent surfers. LOL!
0:46 Towed in, no turns, go straight and pray. pretty boring honestly. This is surfing?
Tow ins should not count
I would like to see how you would catch a wave over 50 feet when paddling, especially in Nazaré with the biggest and fastest waves in the world.
Nazare is NOT the biggest wave in the world at all. Not even nearly ! @@antonioromao5681
Not for nothing, but I'm pretty sure wakeboarding into waves shouldn't count. Matter of fact, you should be shunned and barred for boat surfing.
Yeah, its not !
Wow many nonsense awards given. Nic for bigges waves was a joke. Also, many not-made waves getting too much credit.
Not made waves are a thing because otherwise the women couldnt be involved
That make from ned hart is absolutely unbelievable
The Ride of the Year should have gone to the Young Gun Ned Hart.
1000%🍻
NO DOUBT!
Yes
No way Nathan Florence's wave was much bigger and heavier and he couldn't of been any deeper.
Agree
Very Impressive drop and pull in under the curtain from Ned Hart!
That was insane!
Young Gun should get ride of the year! 😢
Ok all way above my skill set, and all congratulations! The last one though like seeing three critical rides in one.
That Dawg’s got focus! 🎉
Great except for both paddle-in winners. Neither did anything more than go straight until the whitewater caught them. No turns. No attempt to 'make' their waves. All the rest of the award-winning rides were crazy good!
I just scrolled down until I found your comment....which I agree with 100%. The winning wipeout would go well in any snuff film-
Well that's womens surfing for you !
The Net Hard wave combine three critical factor , the air drop who is by far the most snowboarding one i ever witnessed , the recovery to bee able to pull in under the curtain and the navigation threw those massive chandelier , all together it give that ride the most dramatic watching and amazing feeling to see him coming out ,. I will give the most suspense ride of the year
Bro that last one omg straight savage, man handled that , that air drop too
That man ( Ned Hart ) was 16 when that wave was filmed ... Amazing
So much respect to all the Surfers in this video but Ned you have a❤ from me awesome video Aloha to all of you involved thank you
I thought the big wave paddle award was a little weak, that wave was big but not that critical of a drop compared to other big wave spots.
Why is there a mens division and a women's division . 😮
Ned for all categories combined that was amazing.
The young guns wave was without a doubt the wave of the year winner. Kid got robbed! 10ft airdrop AND barreled AT Shipstern! C'Mon!
Incredible, Net Hart's wave is impressive. A massive swell is scheduled hitting Portugal in the coming days, so it might have been a bit too early.
I guess you all got bored with Kai, or is it that the waves look twice as big as they are when he rides them?
Here in Berlin, Germany, the water is always flat, always, nothing ever moves....
Lucky guys!
Nathan deserved it that wave was terrifying maybe not the greatest at Mully but very psycho none the less.
Lord have mercy. I don't think I'll be able to unpucker my butt for days.
3:50 The Jump at Shipstern Bluff Tasmania.
Greatest compilation ever, excellent entertainment...
Breathtaking action...
🌊🏄♂️🌊🏄♂️🌊🏄♂️🌊🏄♂️🌊
Unbelievable all around. Man, that last one and the wipeout: Shipstern with that nasty structure in the wave. Just incredible anybody can surf like that.
God damn!!! Shipstern bluff is brutal asf!!!
It's like 3 waves in one. 2 smaller waves breaking on the face of one huge wave.
And it'd be freezing asf down there too.
Ain't nothin between it and Antarctica.
OMG, that Irish Lefthand barrel was mental.
Mullaghmore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Young gun ride was suuuuuuper sick!
