How It Feels to Surf the World’s Biggest Wave

I was in Nazaré a couple of weeks ago and I loved it. While the waves were not gaint (100ft) they were around 20ft one of the days and this still really allows you to appreciate the power of the ocean. I really liked the town - nothing is better then cheap coffee and Pastel de Nata. It's certainly worth a visit there :)

Yeah, beautiful place, and the view from the top of the cliff behind the village is breathtaking.

I was also there a couple of years ago, in Winter with about 8m waves rolling onto the rocks. Even if I do know how to ride big waves I was not that stupid to try it there. It's insanely dangerous, worse than Mavericks. Even Supertubulos, on the other side were too high, they were like Puerto Escondido on big days.
