NAZARÉ - THE BIGGEST WAVE ON EARTH | VON FROTH

With a win at the Nazaré Tow-in Challenge and many gigantic sessions under his belt, big wave rider, Nic Von Rupp, now pays tribute to Nazaré’s Praia do Norte, the most challenging surf spot on the planet, and a place with the power to make or break boards, egos, careers, and necks with equally undisputed ease. This episode of Portugal Back-to-Back is a collection of the best and worst moments Nic has experienced in this fascinating, puzzling and terrifying surf spot. Dare to face your nightmares and dreams eventually will come true.

Big wave surfing is one of the very very few sports that warrants a hard rock soundtrack! Amazing

Some of the best quality content on KZbin. Every video is a treat!

[@robertpearson9137]

Really like the views of the town as well. I was in Portugal 35 years ago but nobody was talking about this place. Makes me want to go back to see it.

[@francishook8767]

The physics of these waves is frightening when one thinks that each cubic metre is one metric ton of weight. There are a huge amount of tons in each of those waves.

[@chazzbranigaan9354]

Wow thay incredible! Almost as heavy as your mom

Outstanding presentation, quality of images and editing … this is one my favourite pieces on nazare … great job thanks 🙏🏽

such good content Nic!! proud of your journey , what a legend! 🐐💪

[@Reuben_rmr]

I want to visit this amazing and beautiful part of the world

[@martink5872]

Great video! That said, I’d love some more Portuguese being spoken in the video (at least for the interviews with Portuguese). I guess, subtitles provided, it could really make the documentary and interview parts much more authentic and enjoyable. Fully aware that Portuguese speak English super well a lot of the personality gets lost in translation. Keep up the good work 🙏

[@PedroSantospt]

Outstanding quality content always. Congrats Nick and to all your team!

[@jd32k]

2:46 holy crap 😮😮

[@MaddyDaddy66]

Really crazy, 30 years ago there were very few vacationers in Nazare at the lighthouse. Nobody could imagine what is going on there now. We spent a week there with our VW T2 Baywindow and had a wonderful time in solitude.

[@lichtwesenohnenamen3714]

Namaste Nic Von Rupp I love your channel ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🙏

[@user-ur5vw1gi4v]

Been to Portugal last summer and rode some "big" waves for my lvl (around 2.5-3.5m) however they are infinitely stronger than most waves I encountered in France (even with the same height). I've been ejected by a wave during a strong set and I felt drowning like insane, never before. So now when I watch you guys riding big wave monsters like these and fall I get crazy anxious I feel my heartbeat spiking. How do you guys manage such crashes ? Honest question it's like IDK how you do it, I think you don't fear death but even me I was quite chill about that and after my crash it made me realize it's not as simple as that. I would love some feedback on the subject because I admire you guys riding such waves it's a whole new world, I think nobody can understand what you go through. Cheers !

[@Skylarking555]

The crowd !!!!

[@frankdeviaje]

Hey dude, great video from Nazaré, now that im living near, its time for me to go some day, specially better if i can coincide with some kind of surfing event, wich i still dont know when it happens!

[@The123history]

I dream of going there one day

[@carvalholuis4341]

Perfeito,a sequência de imagens e conteúdo Nic , dentro de água? Já viste os videos 'quadros' above creaters?5k600fps é de outro mundo!!!!!

[@annemousty9607]

mas obrigada

[@voodooanton4340]

Incredible content showcasing Nazaré's epic surf scene! The videography is stunning, capturing the raw power of the waves. Can't get enough of this video - it's a must-watch for anyone dreaming of experiencing Nazaré's thrilling surf firsthand. I dream see it again. , after war in Ukraine. See you soon, Nazare) Shaka) 🏄🏽‍♂🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Marc467gg]

Interesting info on the canyon 🧐

[@sfg206]

Now THATS how to edit and score a surf video! (Nathan Florence take notes man 😂)

[@nandonando4421]

Another awesome video, thanks! Why is the beach so empty in the winter? Looks warm enough? Are the winters crazy windy? Is the water warm enough in the summer to go in without a wetsuit?

[@apprenticeofeverything]

big swell incoming!

[@ticklefritz5406]

Thank you for taking us to town. I wonder about the local opinion of the tourism? Obviously, some are capitalizing but what about that 50 year old fisherman who has been living there his entire life?

[@nathaliecollier]

I saw the waves on Facebook and maybe KZbin from 2010: I’m not sure about the date but it’s when I started to find social media and KZbin providing a content which was rather new.

[@glacier30006]

toppp

[@burger101ful]

Amazing cinematography! You need to bring out a full hour documentary!

[@harry5080]

Would love to see the Jetski surfing down one of these waves. This would be a 'once in the lifetime' moment

[@DeadPoetSociety]

Absolutely honored to have our music in this clip man! Crazy dream come true to see our music synced up with Nazare and the greatest big wave surfers in the world!

[@mtollmaster3747]

Amazing indeed.

If you look at physics. A bit longer and narrow tail I think will be the new school board design. I think and then I see it done.
