What's up

Going Deeper | A Love Letter to Nazaré Watch the official trailer of "Going Deeper," a documentary about the raw power of the Nazaré waves. "Going Deeper - Love letter to Nazare" is a passion project shot in Nazaré, Portugal. The film was directed by Luke Huxham. "This isn't an action sports film. It's not even a surf film - it's human story set amongst the most powerful waves known to man," notes the filmmaker. "And a tribute to Praia do Norte. One of the most beautiful and dangerous beaches in the world, where feats once thought impossible, has been achieved by the brave." "Going Deeper" features Abraham Ho, Alex Botelho, Justine Dupont, Hugo Vau, and Fred David.

2020 Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge | Highlights Watch the highlights of the 2020 Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge, held at Praia do Norte, in Portugal. Big wave surfers were greeted by 40-to-50-foot waves. Kai Lenny and Lucas Chianca ended up claiming the Team Champions trophy, Lenny won Men's Wave of the Day, and Justine Dupont took the Women's Wave of the Day. The Commitment Award went to the local Water Safety Team who made sure all athletes got picked up and also saved the life of Portuguese charger, Alex Botelho, who nearly drowned after being hit by a jet ski. The new format introduced by the World Surf League (WSL) featured ten teams of two athletes, taking turns on the waves and the jet ski. The teams surfed a four-hour expression session with no elimination stages or rules. A rotating heat format and priority system ensured that the five teams were in the water at all times. Each team had two, one-hour heats to tow each other into the giant waves of Nazaré. Nazaré, the "Eighth Wonder of the World," is home to three Guinness World Records - men's largest surfed wave, women's biggest surfed wave, and largest kitesurfing wave. 2020 Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge | Results Team Champions: Team Young Bulls - Kai Lenny (HAW) / Lucas Chianca (BRA) Men's Wave of the Day: Kai Lenny (HAW) Women's Wave of the Day: Justine Dupont (FRA) Commitment Award: Water Safety Team
