The Big Ugly - Dramatic Rescue of a Fallen Big Wave Surfer -

Brazilian professional surfer Pedro “Scooby” Vianna takes an epic spill from his board during a storm in Nazaré, Portugal. By February 28, Scooby was tearing down the tide at 45 miles an hour on his rattling surfboard. There was a 70-foot mountain of water avalanching behind him.
The seething spume nipped him from behind and sent him bombing into the fray in a violent back flop.
Scooby’s friend and fellow Brazilian, Lucas "Chumbo" Chianca, rode in on a jet ski to pick him up before the next monster set rolled in. Scooby grabbed ahold of a rear tow board latched to the jet ski, and they sped away in an attempt to outrun the next wave. Chumbo soon lost control in the choppy whitewater, and the jet ski capsized near some dangerous rocks. Another massive wave was right behind them.
Two people now needed a rescue.
How did Scooby and Chumbo finally escape the chaos? Everaldo "Pato" Teixeira, a veteran big wave surfer from Brazil, tore in on yet another jet ski. In a deft and coolheaded rescue bolstered by years of experience, Teixeira rescued Chumbo and Scooby, both of whom were relatively unscathed.
This episode ended well and became one of the main highlights of the Big Wave Season, the drone video went viral after it was used on a Red Bull Production and later licensed to National Geographic, reaching 20 million views in few days, dozens of media outlets picked up the story, the footage is currently being licensed for several feature documentaries across the globe, and is now perhaps the most viewed piece of footage of Nazaré.

I’ve always worked out and trained even for smaller waves. Most people think training is unnecessary. Well, maybe so. However, when the waves are this large, it’s almost a death wish if you fail to train for it. A hold down even for 15 seconds on a wave of this magnitude can just about kill you and has killed people. When your body is tweaked in ways you can’t imagine and you’re twenty feet below the surface...it takes everything you have to survive that. Dealing with cold water and a wetsuit make it that much harder. Just the mental confidence of training can mean the difference between life and death. Even your diet is a huge factor. Your Cardio better be on point. This level of surfing is just nuts. It’s not just falling on one wave that kills people. It’s the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I’d seriously pray to God before paddling out there. Anything that can go wrong, usually will.

I *tried* to surf some small waves just taller than myself and was beat to crap trying to get out far enough to catch one. I couldn't imagine being in waves from this video. Well, I can image it, I imagine dieing. As you said, be in great cardio shape for sure. I run a lot and who knows, that probably helped me make it out.

So awesome to see others put themselves in harms way to save others. The surfing documentary, Riding Giants, shows how these guys risk their lives for each other because they know if the other was in the same situation they would do it for them too. Love the brotherhood amongst them. Highly recommend seeing Riding Giants on the evolution of surfing.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:7-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Great footage, and rescue. It is great as it gives context to the location. So many surf videos are too tight (maybe for making the waves appear more imposing), and those make it hard to get a sense of the landscape. At last I can see what Nazaré sort of looks like, with the sandy part and the big rocks. More surf videos should be like this (I would have even appreciated more a wider panoramic shot)
