Television 100 Foot Wave (HBO)

[Helder-Carvalho]

The six-part series intimately captures the decade-long odyssey of surfing pioneer Garrett McNamara, who, after visiting Nazaré, Portugal in hopes of conquering a 100-foot wave, pushed the sport to ever-greater heights and alongside locals helped transform the small fishing village into the world’s preeminent big-wave surfing destination. The series is directed and executive produced by award-winning filmmaker Chris Smith and executive produced by Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winner Joe Lewis, Maria Zuckerman, Ryan Heller, and Michael Bloom.

Nice. Went to Nazaré a few years ago and heading back there this summer in fact. The spot where you can watch the biggest waves come crash onto the rocks was amazing.

Looks interesting. Will wait till all the episodes drop first.

Nice. I hear there is talk of the local board wanting to make the North beach of Nazare off limits to surfers because of the injuries.

Oh look at you Mr Nazare.

Oh look at you Mr Nazare.

There's this Turkish girl there I'm in touch with, I'd just into one of those waves just to drink her bath water.
