Nazare, Dancing with Monsters

Out of all the spots i have documented Nazare is most scary to film but at the same time it can be so rewarding. From the beginning on my first visit back in 2016 i was set up on the hill. There is a million spots to shoot from with a million other cameramen & women doing the same thing. So wanted something a little more exclusive. The water angle is it. Once your out there your nerves go into overdrive. You seriously need to trust your jet-ski driver. Dino Carmo is my man. Having being a professional bodyboarder and lived all his life at Nazare, Dino knows the Nazare line up like no other. Once your in the line up Dino puts you right deep inside where the moving mountains unload. He's incredibly focused and at all times constantly reassuring me that we are safe. It's so intense. Last season with the 25 days on the water this edit shows 14 minutes of my best vision.
I cant wait for my ninth season coming real soon. ENJOY!

Dancing with Monsters is the most appropriate title I can imagine. Watching this video, where massive waves the size of office buildings chase and attempt to crash down on the men at their feet, gives me a tiny glimpse of nature at its most majestic.

[@oliverkremer5647]

Lost for words to describe this edit. That’s a masterpiece in every aspect, Tim! Thanks for letting us watch.

[@johnlangrose3753]

Copy that, this & them!!

[@scottlambert6081]

Tim continues to push the envelope to encapsulate the pure essence and raw power of these deadly waves . 10 pts to his trusted jetski rider and hats off to the surfer's that brave these gigantic monsters !

[@chrisculley3756]

Great video the Portugal boys just taking it down. Love the party wave shot. Dude on the right was just skipping across the water. RLTW 3/75

[@maryl1833]

Tim, fabulous photography, as always! Thank you for showing the entire wave - the power and beauty is breathtaking!

[@surferstepper]

Awesome water footage. The only thing I'd add would be a couple waves in normal speed with the original sound just because it's so much more intense. 🇵🇹🤙

[@angelaferreira9573]

Good morning everyone. Nazaré the best village of Portuga and great surfers . I love this ocean and its waves 🌊🌊🌊. Thanks a lot ✍️

[@anthonylove821]

Speechless…. Mesmerizing…. Don’t know how these surfers do it at Nazare, not just once to say they did it, but many times over … such respect to both surfers and those on the wave runners who all risk their lives… great video. Breathtaking

[@allenriley2483]

Another great video Tim. Excellent quality as usual. Thanks

[@xasperations]

Some epic footage, much respect for the photographic skills and risk taking involved. Turn off the sound and listen to All Them Witches as the backing track. "Hares on the Mountain" or "Am I going Up? "blend seamlessly with the slow motion footage. Their music seems to suit such evocative and awe inspiring imagery. i have no connection to the band, I am an Aussie, they are from Nashville. Hope to see them live before I die.

[@DrTelamericorp]

All Them Witches is the truth.

[@joaogarcia9488]

I listen santana Dance sister dance

[@johngarin8290]

Amen, watching slow Mo, I'm ready to pop the gas, Second all the blown mind comments -Magic 🫣🌺

[@majoy-osterlundfreeman5425]

Beautiful indeed. Special place where there 2018 No waves 🥱

[@adamafernandes9567]

Those last two waves are something else. Hoping its a big season for 23-24'!!

[@ndnd25]

Absolutely amazing footage💫🌟💫🌟💫🌟thank you….felt like being out on the water…..real scary and awesome at the same time🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@pedroleal7118]

Tim, as usual, delivering the best surfing images! Thank you for sharing your work!

[@leftymagoo2710]

What else can I say Tim… YOU DA MAN! While the surfing and video and music is amazing, the waves do it for me. SLO-Mo, High Def., exquisite details of liquid projectiles being thrown into space and watching them dissolve into the wind. Fantastic

[@djphootz]

State-of-the-art Nazaré footage! Keep doing what you're doing. God bless you and all the guys in the water.

[@kylearicha]

Epic as usual Tim, remember some of these days… great to see many shapes big mama has here at home

[@pierrecayla4959]

One more time, a pure gem. Many thanks.

[@PocketOKrypto]

Love your work Tim! I'll be spending the month of January in Nazare and these days I go to bed each night dreaming of massive waves breaking there every day for the whole time I'm there. Your work is very inspiring and I look forward to shooting from the cliffs. Cheers!

[@reefphotographyig5225]

FInally some sick footage in the water of nazare PERFECT

[@saleconomos473]

One word...Stunning. Three more...My Bucket List... Will use air miles to get there.

[@cortcoleman1997]

One of the greatest surf vidoes ever made!!

[@ruubenvandenheuvel2869]

Breath taking. So much respect for these giants of the sea, those that conquer them and your incredible ability to share that with us all. Thank you Tim!

[@yellfire]

Definition of a freak wave

[@angelaferreira9573]

Everything is strange and only the surfers can explain it.

[@anthonysullivan6912]

[@StephPEYRIGUER]

@SURFINGVISIONS Truly Amazing Tim !!! Intimist Atmosphere ! for the Footage Raptor on 4K120 ?

[@chrisnizer5702]

Any wave where you can drop in for 15-20 consecutive seconds and STILL not make it to the bottom is a...BIG...DAMN...WAVE.

[@bradleysmith9253]

[@nickabrahams3385]

Amazing Timmy!!

[@marcelosrocha]

Caraca, vendo essas montanhas liquidas, me lembrei que semana passada aqui na minha praia(Farol de São Tome/Campos/RJ) estava um pouco menor, fui correndo chamar a galera e cada um dava aquela desculpa esparrafada( estou gripado, vou pro cursinho de alemão, vou levar minha irmazinha na creche, bla-bla-bla) o jeito foi enfrentar as ondas sozinho, quando cheguei no pico e vi aquela serie no horizonte, como um exercito marchando em minha direção, meu coração veio na boca, olhei pro Ceu fiz minha oração e deixei a primeira da serie passar, pois pensei, vai que eu tomo uma vaca e as outras ondas que vem atras me atropelam? Quando olho para a segunda onda, era ela, me posicionei e remei, quando estava no drop, escutei uma voz que me dizia: Geraaaaaaaaaaaldo! KKk.

[@rubensalazar9094]

A Sunset wave on steroids

[@dannyday5037]

Please someone film these beautiful waves looking straight into wave saw it one time at maverick’s and looks so so much bigger from water level give these guys so mmch more respect please stop filming so much from air or helicopter you will get a lot more viewers it was really a incredible site thx

[@simontemplar1]

[@nickortcoski6769]

Mezmerrizing

[@georgedodwell1721]

What time of year? Was there in April and the waves were big but these are huge.

[@SURFINGVISIONS]

November till Feb - best months

[@lachlanwilliams3234]

Do you ever think what you'd do if the jetski broke down in the lineup?

[@SURFINGVISIONS]

No, i try not too

[@junkettarp8942]

Thats not surfing .....Thats a religion.

[@sergioricardo-sq9qj]

😊🤩🥰🤙🏾✌🏾

[@RollingThunder808]

That guy's board was paper thin. Is that carbon fiber?

[@boddysurfer]

I believe your referring to Lucas Fink, he's on a skim board. Incredible skill to ride a wave that massive without fins!

[@virtual2152]

Idiotic music overlay is annoying and distracting.

[@clarkewi]

Awesome.
