Description
Join the quest to surf the biggest wave in history.
In a small fishing village on the coast of Portugal, a select band of surfers take unimaginable risks, pushing the boundaries of their death-defying sport as they seek to go bigger than ever before.
Their goal? To ride the Everest of the ocean—the 100-foot wave.
Sports journalist Matt Majendie is welcomed into the inner circle of Nazaré's tight community of big-wave surfers and extreme thrill-seekers, living among them for a season as he chronicles their incredible highs and terrifying lows.
Follow the endeavours of Britain's leading big-wave surfer, a former plumber from Devon, Andrew Cotton; trailblazing Brazilian female surfer Maya Gabeira; current World Record holder German Sebastian Steudtner; Portuguese Nic von Rupp; and jet-ski driver Sergio Cosme, nicknamed 'the Guardian Angel of Nazaré' for his daring rescues, in this gripping read.
Nazaré offers a captivating insight into the lives of those who pursue the thrill of the ocean's mightiest waves.
