[@ticklefritz5406]

Awesome! The quality and beauty of this video is exquisite. First class! That dude who surfed that wave on his face and proceeded to go over the falls with a front-row seat, that shot is legendary!

[@albydamn]

That trip was an eye opener, thank you Mother Nature for providing the goods!

[@nicvonrupp1671]

Thank you!

[@oliverstone9688]

Do you ever stop and think that these special places should be left alone, not publicised, kept unique and off the radar as much as possible? Is media attention worth naming spots that have been semi forgotten about for a decade or more? I’m aware of Jardims fame. However in the last 10 years it’s gotten quieter. Is it not leaving at least somewhere alone?

[@DavidVolz-xz7bl]

You are so correct

[@dongaza6878]

Blown Rupp loves a nice exposure. Anything for social media and for some precious likes

[@donh3590]

maderia has been on the surf map for 40+ years. the waves tend to deal with the crowd.

[@Gavinmac001]

[@didoview]

Thank you for spoiling one of the last untouched pearls.

[@0warami_7oo]

Been fantasizing about the waves there for 3 decades and in more recent years found out how amazing it also is for mountain biking. I NEED to go!

Liked Madeira so much that I got my first tattoo of the coordinates of the island on my forearm. Beautiful place , Great food, and super friendly people. Made several friends and looking forward to meeting them again someday. Always tip your waiters and waitresses well

[@jalhe01]

Incredible swell and loved the video production. What is the song between 08:55 and 10:20? It wasn't listed in the descriptions. Thanks!

[@tomasoliveira79]

looking for it aswell. Im from Madeira, amazing video!

[@BrolyRajang]

Looks paradise

[@J_Smith7]

An important thing to note...the wave was even better prior to the construction of the break wall. Fortunately this wave still exists in some form but a good reminder of how development can entirely or partially ruin a wave.

[@mynameistim3701]

your videos are like a cinema movie, please never stop!

[@midi1529]

Super great experience for us watching and you and friends. Thanks for the views

[@hugoleger8395]

Beautiful video showing everything about Madeira’s amazing atmosphere. Thanks to your video you did a year ago, I chose to go on a surf trip, and it didn’t disappoint at all. I had crazy waves in Paul do Mar and Ponta Paul. Almost alone in the water. I had the chance to met Orlando. The people on the island are very welcoming. Cheers for everything Nic !

[@GlennRiccobono]

Nic I love watching surfing videos, the waves looked incredible! But as you went exploring and showed the camera/ drone shots my mouth fell open. Madeira is absolutely beautiful. Blown away. The size of the cliffs, the trees, it's just glorious. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, looks like exciting waves. Very nice indeed.

[@lawtonloraine4144]

Hey nick I know you surfed figuera do foz , I dnt know if you surfed it big, if you did how does it compare to Madeira. We chatted once before , as I surfed figuera do foz out by the lighthouse down to the river in 1979 with some guys including Graham Nile who you may have heard of. Surprised if you haven’t. He is in his seventies now and I’m 66 this year. Still surfing as is Graham from what I hear still trying o win everything

[@pedrorovisco9521]

[@finzfan47]

Your surfing has taken a next step. I am not a surfer but I skate and watcha lot of surfing videos. You working out a lot or just surfing a lot and progressing? You have developed into one of the most technically sound balls to the wall surfers on youtube which means the world. YEWWW

[@nicvonrupp1671]

Appreciate the feedback thank you 🙏🏼

Well done, bravo to the camera guy with the drone. Catching the board pulling that surfer back over the falls like that. Never seen that before, such powerful waves, and beautiful too.
