Historical day for Foil surfing | Nazare
Nazare, 17th February 2020.
An historical day for Foil surfing. A board that reaches really high speeds and that seems to levitate the surface of the water.
The buoys were pointing to the largest swell of the winter hitting the deep canyon and some of the best big wave surfers were in town to catch the biggest waves in the world. Names like Laird Hamilton, Benny Ferris, Terry Chung, Luca Padua, Nuno Santos and Glyn Ovens were there changeling the massive conditions that afternoon. Somehow in the middle of the chaos, they were all ridding first peak, right in front of the cliff and setting the bar for the future of Foil surfing.

Wipeout . Russell Bierke . Raw Footage @ Nazaré, Portugal - 2018.11.07
This raw footage shows Australian Big Wave Surfer, Russell Bierke (21 ys old), charging one of the biggest waves of the day on the first peak at Nazaré during yesterday’s monster swell.
Bierke’s manages to ride the most critical part of the wave but wipes out after the massive water explosion behind him, suffering an extensive hold down before resurfacing just in time to catch a quick breath before the next wave impact.
The following rescue is performed by award wining Big Wave Surfer Lucas "Chumbo" Chianca from Brazil, riding a jetski Lucas is able to help Russell until he reaches the safety of the sand. This sequence was the main highlight of the day, during the biggest session of the season so far, with waves exceeding 60 ft on the face.
Bierke with an extensive experience in heavy waves and nasty wipeouts gave the following statement to filmmaker Pedro Miranda who captured this footage: “this was by far my longest hold down ever! I barely got a breath before the second wave landed on me. Felling pretty sore today, got a good whiplash when I skipped in front of the wave, but no injuries which is good” (…) “Felt like I could barely walk up the beach when Igot there”. Russell Bierke is one of the most respected young talents in the Big Wave Surfing world, he won the mythical “Red Bull Cape Fear”in 2016 with just 19 ys old, one of the most extreme and dangerous events in the sport. This was the first time Bierke surfed the infamous giant waves of Nazaré in Portugal, the locals applauded his “go for it" attitude after this wave, joking with “Welcome to Naza, Russell Bierke!”, since it’s kind of a tradition Big Wave surfers to get a huge beating during their first session in Nazaré, usually regarded as a good luck sign.
Drone video shows slacklining above giant waves in Nazare
A slackliner cuts a lonely figure walking above monster waves in Nazaré, Portugal, in this stunning drone footage.
A group of slackliners called the Western Riders recently installed a line connecting the Cliff of Praia do Norte in Nazaré to the Guilhim Rock, a famous landmark known from viral photos of huge wave impacts and water explosions during the Portuguese Big Wave Season.
The slackliner on this video is Emerson Machado, 28-year-old from Brazil. According to Machado, the line was installed days before a big swell arrived in Nazaré, and everything was cautiously planned, checked and re-checked to provide the maximum level of security possible to the slackliners performing the walk. “It’s calculated risk, we are not crazy like it may seem at first sight.
In reality, everything was planned to the minor details. Over the years, we’ve performed walks in many locations, including Nazaré, and we take this very seriously,” Machado said. “Over the course of two days, we’ve performed dozens of walks between the cliff and the rock in Nazaré, and no one was ever injured during that time. It’s relatively safe when performed by an experienced crew, working together with planning and caution,” he adds.
This extreme sport is called slacklining, although this version performed in Praia do Norte is known more specifically as highlining. It involves balancing on a rope suspended above the ground (or above the sea in this case) and anchored between two points. It looks like a sport made for daredevils, but well-trained slackliners believe all the gear and equipment they use is all made, tested and certificated for this activity, making it perfectly safe.
