In a quaint fishing village nestled along the coast of Portugal, a select group of surfers embark on an audacious quest, pushing the limits of their death-defying sport to unprecedented heights. Their mission? To conquer the mammoth 100-foot wave, known as the Everest of the ocean. Sports journalist Matt Majendie gains exclusive access to the close-knit community of big-wave surfers and adrenaline-junkies in Nazaré, where he immerses himself for an entire season, documenting their exhilarating triumphs and heart-stopping predicaments. Join the journey of Britain's foremost 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 Sérgio Cosme, affectionately known as the Guardian Angel of Nazaré for his daring rescues, in this gripping and captivating narrative.
