I love how all the people who travel there are like "oh it's a spiritual journey and Yoga and bean sprouts and my inner child" and the locals are like " I can't wait to surf really big waves".

Went surfing for a whole week, thought I could handle the big waves and went really far out. The wave was like 7 feet (tiny but it was the fifth day of surfing in my entire life). Fell of my surfboard and the wave rolled me around underwater, I was like a little doll completely at the behest of nature. In that moment for the first time in my life I truly thought I was going to die, can’t image what it feels like to fall Into one of those whoppers.

Death defying drops, wow! The odd thing about surfers is that they have huge balls but are very humble because they face the power of nature every day. The ocean can be very menacing and break you in half like a twig anytime. The water can turn ice cold with one current going through. There are jagged rocks, undertows, rip tides, wave smashes that churn you into pulp, sand bars that can break your fingers and bones, and more. You never know what you get that day in the ocean. So you remain humble. But it takes a special kind of courage to the point of foolhardiness to tackle those waves, and a lot of strength and experience and split second decisions. A rare breed are surfers.

I am not a surfer never surfed but I am fascinated by the massive magnitude and power of the seas and the bravery it takes to essentially race them

Can you imagine the sound of that monster breaking behind you? I wish they could capture that

Seeing the volume of water in large waves in the sea is so terrifying yet you can’t help but watch in awe.

The mother of Antonio is so sweet. His father and him are cautious but excited to be in the water and she’s there on shore like “I pray, I pray a lot.” 😂 Bless her.

Man just hears about the tsunami coming to wipe out the city and he casually grabs his surfboard.

Everybody gangsta till they get the Interstellar waves

sometimes i close my eyes in the shower and i think I'm drowning, thats as clos to nazare as i've surfed

Portugal, small country but big balls!! Respect from Italy... 🇮🇹🇵🇹💪🙌

I'm from Portugal and even if you are not into surfing, Nazaré is a very cool town to visit and the nearby areas too, são Martinho do Porto has a huge beach bay and there is no overcrowding at all

Portuguese people are some of the kindest you can meet! Big love from UK

I want some raw footage of Nazare. I appreciate the editing they've done but im just waiting for someone to upload some untouched gopro/drone footage with the natural sound to give you a real idea of what its like out there.

I never realized that a lot of these guys are spiritually connected to their craft. Really cool. I love hearing philosophies behind dangerous sports. Listening to Alex Honnold talk about free soloing is also a trip.

Surfing has to be the most toughest and dangerous sport in the entire world. Just a human trying to strike a delicate balance with nature. No two waves are ever the same. Exhilarating to watch-I can only imagine what it's actually like to surf massive big waves. Respect to *all* surfers in the world-amateur and professional.

Great video. Huge waves. That's very beautiful. Great surfing.

Our country is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

I used to surf in Cape Town growing up there and biggest I've ridden was twelve feet. Watching these waves give me goose bumps :) They are so big and powerful.

I know this might be obvious to many, but it gives me great relief to think that even the greatest of athletes on the sea, are as anxious and stupefied as a layman !! It's the courage to overcome that, differentiates them !! And it is easier said than done ✌️

I will always respect the Ocean. It is so powerful that you inherently respect It. And at the same time, It is fascinating and beautiful.

I could sit there and just watch those waves all day long. Breathtaking, so amazing.

Magical place, amazing waves, the true power of nature. Thanks Garrett McNamara for bringing all of us to Nazare!

The documentary on the discovery and coming together of this place is an amazing watch too. I'm glad the Olympics are there. They worked hard to figure out a safe way to surf there and get people to come.

Always jaw dropping...watching beasts meet, interact, play, chase and challenge each other.

1:54 when a local says he had never seen waves brake so far ... it means that is really an huge swell

Massive respect to anyone who has the testicular fortitude to go out there and conquer these behemoth waves 🌊

Surfing was the hardest thing 😭 I struggled just trying to stand up on the board let alone balance on a wave 🥴 huge kudos to them!! 👏🏽✨

Best footage I’ve seen from the Epsilon swell.... thank you.... stay safe out there boyz and girlz

This is some badass moves. Surfing waves that high, man ill just watch from here.

Such crazy waves are there! How brave a person should be to ride one of these...they surely deserve to be admired!

Massive respect to these guys🙌🏽. I’ve attempted surfing once in my life just last year in Rio de Janeiro and my goodness it was a workout of a lifetime just paddling out to catch a wave and I can’t even imagine the skill it takes to ride waves this size.

Guess I'll have to break out my 4' 11" fish kneeboard from the 70s out of storage. Head over there for one last hurrah. 😂

These people are awesome...mostly because of respect they have for each other...I feel there is no competition, and everyone hopes to be lucky enough to catch that beast!!! A sport in it's true nature!! Awesome! : )

I scared myself silly just watching this, much respect and admiration.

Wow~and Wow again!!! These surfers are unbelievable....I have never ever seen such incredible footage with the highest waves...such as these; thanks so much for posting this! Insane!!!

1:28 didn't know David Beckham was into surfing. Keep it up lad.

Hello guys and girls, it was so exciting to watch you on the big day, you can be so proud of all of you and I have huge respect for your sport. It was really really great! I studied the weather map for days and fevered that Poseidon would offer you what you wanted in your dreams. Thank you !!! Stay safe !!!🤲☀️🌊

Totally insane waves and the guys riding them are certifiable, very very cool!

Wonderful I love Nazaré and your waves....

All the music chosen were great. Went so well with the video. thanks :)

KARAMBA...CRAZY NAZARE...this surf-spot is so unique!!!! AMAZING!

Imagine what it was like to be a navigator with these waves at the time of the discoveries 😱 The waves of Nazaré are spectacular and frightening. Portugal is beautiful 🇵🇹❤️ We don't just have the Cristiano Ronaldo 😋

Incredible. I'm from London, I find it hard to comprehend the power of these waves, I'm still blown away though!

They are so big they have to zoom far out making them look small

Mi sueño es conocer NAZARE PORTUGAL...... LA OLA MAS GRANDE DEL MUNDO. SALUDOS DESDE COSTA RICA.

I love watching all of them surf. Beautiful.

The ocean is such a trip …. Pretty amazing

Portugal on it's best. So proud for being portuguese and I've got on my country this power of wild nature!

Thank you for sharing.

Wow! The skill of these guys... and the power of the ocean.. Respect 🙏 🙂

Haven't surfed for over 25 years, still something I think about daily. Many sports and hobbies fall by the wayside in life, surfing never leaves you. Ever.

He have a lot of control! Wow!

I'm on the gulf coast of Florida the gulf of Mexico. I jump in swim and love it.the waves here are not large but the current can be rough and undertow can be bad. I really like watching these local guys and girls surf ,they are absolutely enjoying every minute.

Es increíble ver como compiten con las olas ❤️👏

3:40 Worlds biggest waves and still people getting snaked....

So for anyone who hasn't tried to surf they make it look so easy but its hard. They surfing swells larger then what's average. 👏👏👏 these people are amazing good job.

The volume of white water after some of them waves broke...was enormous Have not seen white water that high and with that amount of depth. Wow. Thanks surfers for your courage!!!

I never get tired of watching these videos

What a fun video! Can't believe those water cliffs! Lol. I go to the North Shore a lot, never seen waves there like those here! Dang!

Nazaré, where i from 🇵🇹💖

OMG, You guys were AWESOME. Hope one day I can visit this place and watch live, so far I only watched in Bali. This is incredibly awesome.....

Kai Lenny (one of the big wave surfers) went to my elementary and middle school and we actually had the same teacher, except he went there maybe 8-10 years before me hehe. I remember he came to sign hats with us and give a speech one day and it was really cool to meet him

These guys are friggin amazing surfers and a tad bit nuts for sure.. 😁🤘🏼

Super film and Ocean in Portugal. Congratulations!

Shout out to McNamara for surfing the 1st world record wave here, & bringing all these awesome riders out to this beautiful place!🤙

Those waves are insane! Y’all rock!

Me getting scared of those 7 foot waves thinking Im going to die

Small country but the biggest waves have their home over here.

Portugal 🇵🇹 : The Most Epic Little Country On The Planet.

Been having recurrent dreams that I can swim in rough surf like a seal and breathe underwater. Maybe time to take up surfing.

Wow, love this. Thanks for sharing. My hats off to all the surfers and the crews, that make the surfers, safer today

Definately going to try this out. Great video btw.

Kai Lenny is fascinating to watch 😍 Absolutely no fear ❤❤❤

Beautiful both mother nature and mankind together🙏

Incredible waves

So glad these folks are able to get back to doing what they love. Surfing is in the soul, and this is the most beautiful church ever

Let’s thanks Hawaii for sharing this beautiful sport in this world

Superb video. Really cool seeing folk getting after it

His mom... What a badass chic to support her guys like that. It's gotta be just that much better having your parents, not just support, but participation in what you love. Even when the outcome is out of everyone's control and there's a very real chance of ending badly. Dude is living his absolute best life!! 🤙

Congratulations António Laureano. Wonderkid, future CR7 of the waves.
