  • As big wave season looms at Nazaré, filmer Alex Laurel looks back on Andrew Cotton, Lucas 'Chumbo' Chianca and Hugo Vau's massive moments from the 2017-18 season.
    It's safe to say that any time one of these chargers goes over the ledge at Nazaré, it's a momentous feat of human skill and bravery. And, over the years, there have been countless drops, barrels and huge wipeouts that have stunned viewers around the world. But the three moments featured in this short documentary, by longtime Nazaré filmer Alex Laurel, will go down in the history books.
    Whatever happens, we’ll be on it, beaming the incredible footage back to you.
    "I was all or nothing," British big-wave surfer Andrew Cotton says of his wipeout heard around the world on November 8, 2017. "I just had this weightless feeling for what seemed like way too long." It was indeed way too long. The wave in question was nowhere near the biggest wave Cotton had ever surfed at Nazaré, but the wipeout was like no one had ever seen before in all the years the world's bravest men and women have been charging the peaks at the famed Portuguese big wave spot.
    Stay tuned and welcome back to bomb season at Nazaré.

    Keep in mind that the depth of the water is about equal to the height of the wave or less near the end. Waves usually begin breaking when the depth is 1.3 x the height of the incoming wave. My experience body surfing 4-5 waves is that they can and will slam you into the bottom. I assume these giants can do that too. Having been thrashed in small surf makes watching people surfing these giants absolutely gut wrenching. Just amazing the level of skill and passion.

      Even if you go private in the UK the prices are still less than a sixth of that in the US. For example I can get an MRI done here privately for around $400-450 USD, while according to TIME magazine the average cost for an MRI in the US is $2611 USD. Of course I could also just wait a little longer (availability is based on severity of need) and get it for free on the NHS.

      They don't "need" to afford it, if you are an EU citizen like he still is you can get healthcare thru the national health service of any EU country. Usually a trip to the ER is about 20€ for administrative fees, they won't charge you for the exams, dear God, we pay enough taxes and social security as it is.

Sure they had board sponsors but nobody had the equipment developed for surfing waves like that so they made their own in their garages using led to weight the boards down so they would actually stay on the surface and not just bounce them off into oblivion. We use to cruise down from Haiku to the cliffs back when it wasn’t all blown out and there was one little spot you could sit to watch. Was so cool. Witness to Kalama’s legendary first barrel.

      Le premier, Andrew Cotton, raconte son monstrueux wipeout où il s'est pété le dos bien méchamment et du choc que ça a été.
      Le deuxième explique que sur la première vague qu'il a pris il a vu un énorme barrel mais qu'il a pas réussi à sortir (1ere vague que tu vois). Du coup, son objectif c'était de refaire ce barrel et de le sortir ce coup mais il est parti trop deep et un peu n'importe comment et il s'est pris un des plus gros wipeout de sa vie.
      Le 3ème explique que c'était la plus grosse session qu'il avait vu à Nazaré en 7 ans qu'il était là et qu'il voulait rater ça pour rien au monde même s'il faisait presque nuit. Du coup il y est allé, il s'en est sorti mais il explique qu'il y avait tellement d'eau qu'il ne voyait pas comment un humain pourrait survivre à un wipeout à ce moment-là!
      Voilà, c'est important de bien bosser l'anglais quand tu en as le temps (séries/films sous-titrés), ça te resservira toute ta vie ;)
