Sérgio Cosme Is The Guardian Angel Of Big Wave Surfing At Nazaré

More on Sérgio's story here: bit.ly/SergioNazare
Award-winning filmers Mikey Corker and Alex Laurel teamed-up with The Red Bulletin and spent the winter documenting an unknown hero of the world’s most famous big wave venue-Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal. His name is Sérgio Cosme and he’s been a professional driver his whole life, beginning with motocross and ending with rally car racing. But in the last five years, Cosme has focused on being a rescue jet ski driver on the biggest days at Nazaré. Out-running 20+ meter mountains of swell to save up the surfers attempting to ride them, Cosme has placed himself in one of the highest stakes positions in sport - and all of it for little money or accolades. Why risk so much for so little? That’s what Corker and Laurel explore in "Sérgio Cosme: The Guardian Angel of Nazaré."

I'm from Portugal myself, district of Aveiro Gafanha da Vagueira to be exact. I've been to Nazaré numerous of times and it feels like a MAGICAL place that's what I feel when I'm there and the people will SERGIO'S character says it all BIG HEARTS. Sergio is a perfect example of what alot of people should be period. ATACA AS ONDAS SERGIO. Great video.

[@bmartin2304]

Finally getting the recognition he needs! I always say watching these videos"what about the guys on jet skis saving these guys!"

[@RedBullSurfing]

Exactly. We were so curious about that too. Let us know what type of "other guys" films you'd like to see!

The Sherpa of Nazaré -- All the work, none of the Glory.

He has the beauty that glory defines: knowing he saves people's lives all the time. If you experience that, the so-called glory of audiences getting excited about seeing you surf, is hollow in comparison.

[@2richants]

He gets the hugs from everyone who gets the glory. Having as much fun and buzz as the guys riding the waves
