Potential For TUDOR Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge Presented by Jogos Santa Casa To Run Dec 12 or 13

The World Surf League has put the TUDOR Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge presented by Jogos Santa Casa on standby to potentially run on Sunday, December 12 or Monday, December 13. With a large WNW swell and favorable winds headed toward Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal, there is high confidence that the event could run over one of these two days.

Event officials are closely monitoring the upcoming swell, watching for the conditions that will produce waves in the competition range. The next call for a potential Green Alert will be made on Saturday, December 11 at 12:00 a.m. GMT. Once the call is made by the event officials, competitors will have approximately 34-hours' notice to be ready to compete.

"We are expecting waves in the 40-to-60-foot range on Sunday and Monday, and we are closely watching the forecast over the next few days," said Jessi Miley-Dyer, WSL SVP of Tours and Head of Competition. "If we see this forecast continue to track the way we are seeing now, we will make an updated call on Saturday, December 11 at 12:00 a.m. GMT for a potential Green Alert. We are working with Garrett McNamara on the ground at Nazaré and utilizing all of his expertise and knowledge to help inform when we will run the competition. We will check back in over the weekend with more updates."

The TUDOR Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge presented by Jogos Santa Casa will be a one-day, specialty event with tow-in surfing teams. There will be nine teams made up of two competitors in each team. The teams will be divided into three groups with three teams in each group. The competition will have a total of six 60-minute heats, where each group will participate in two heats, with each team alternating between surfing and driving the team's jet ski.

A surfer's best two waves after surfing both heats will count to an individual total score, with the best wave counting as double points. In total, a surfer's maximum individual score will be 30 points, as each wave is scored from 1-10 points. Surfers will be awarded across multiple categories at the end of the competition day.

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.

Surfing the Big Waves of Winter | Nazaré 2017 Reel

After the big-wave season of 2015/16 – thanks to El Niño – we were honestly expecting a bit of an oceanic hangover come this winter. Well, turns out the party just kept right on raging into 2017 at Europe's favourite mutant, Nazaré.
