This happened last year, but it takes time to authenticate the size of the waves. It’s in Nazare, Portugal. There’s an underwater canyon which creates some of the biggest waves on the planet. The people watching are actually standing on top of a huge cliff overlooking the surf.

I mean.. that can’t end well, right? I can’t picture a good ending to that giant wall of white water rapidly closing the distance to him at the end

He looks like a little piss trickle down a great mountainside. Seeing that thing crest 40 feet above his head must have felt like the world was about to end.

That's one of those "you're successful or you die" moments.

Jesus, what is the topography to get waves that massive, yet have crowds that large watching carelessly hundreds of feet away, without concern for that wave breaking in on them
