While you were watching the Gold Coast of Australia, Nazaré was hammered by (another) giant swell. As is generally the case when the world’s biggest wave turns on, some of the world’s best big wave surfers showed up. On February 17th, things were a little too hairy for most to paddle, and a tow session for the ages went down. The next day, as the swell lost a bit of its punch, combed its hair, and put on its best party dress, Othmane Choufani, Grant “Twiggy” Baker, Alex Botelho, Carlos Burle, Lucas “Chumbo” Chianca, and Sebastian Steudtner headed out, put their heads down, and took part in a paddle session for the ages. Michael Darrigade was there to document the whole thing… and it was a sight to behold.
