Pandemonium!
Wavelength magazine reported, yesterday, that a fight broke out in what is being called the biggest Nazare ever. The lineup was packed with a who’s who of big wave folk including Kai Lenny, Andrew Cotton, Nic Von Rupp, Carlos Burle and Sebastian Steudtner.
Very exciting action etc. but things got too exciting when a ski maybe piloted by Ramon Navarro went straight for the aforementioned Von Rupp for allegedly “dropping in.”
Then Carlos Burle got in a punch out with Christian Fletcher’s favorite German for, allegedly the same infraction.
Then “…the driver of one ski pulled up alongside another team’s ski to talk to the driver about etiquette, the surfer on the sled behind stood up and jumped on top the other driver.” The surfers were, were rumored to be Justine Dupont and Maya Gabeira which was later denied by Dupont who said, “My team were not involved in any of the fights and trouble during the swell.
All while 60+ foot waves detonated.
Whoa!
Witnesses on the rocks were said to be openly weeping, turning tear stained cheeks toward the heavens and pleading for the bad water behavior to stop.
But have you ever heard of such a thing?
I must say, I have not.
More as the story develops.

What an idiot.
The Germans still haven’t got over the war.
Anyone willing to admit they watched the Cuervo Surf Ranch Classic too when it came up after this?
Besides Von Rupp anyone in the lineup from Portugal?
Ahhhh… but it’s one more leeeeeeeetle click, you see?
A friend told me nazare is a legit sick beach break in the 4 to 10 foot range. Heavy, peaky, spitting barrels. Surprising we don’t see more of that to be honest.
The things stoners think are important…
“Did justine jump on …”oh baby, what a paragraph
Thats a great storyline for a b grade porn movie I am going to make
I will be calling it Pussy Galore! RIP Sean
It was boring as all fuck
I was on a night shift the other night, was watching a live stream of Nazare and out of nowhere I get an insta notification that Chumbo was going live.. from a ski.. good way to burn away the night hours right? Wrong. all I could think was what a circus this all is.. and what has become of big wave surfing if this is the pinnacle. Fucken lame.
NVR’s vlog proudly features footage of him performing said drop-in here.

Poor form from a guy that already seemed like a bit of a cunt.
Same stupid shit that happened on Everest last year. Grow the fuck up.
Yes!!!
Ice Ice Baby
There are no “High Fives and Positive Vibes” when it comes to maximum exposure to obtain the golden coins.
To produce ultra entertainment, tow-in water skiing will have to become Full Contact with weapons.
Aquatic Thunderdome is the future………………..
Good god yes. THIS is what will bring the masses, not fucken Elo’s “wow isn’t the water pretty? Here’s a way to monetise your access to to!” approach to growth in surfing. Full on surf gladiators vying for monster waves, full contact. Amazing.
That’s legit what it was, aquatic thunderdome is the perfect summary. Everyone zig zagging on their 2 stroke pony’s, live streaming it all on ig.
I watched the entire headline and skimmed the article.
So a bit like Beach Grit?
Aha! So you really are a girl? Please don’t leave us …
That makes 2 (though the jury’s still out on Bex)
Bloke.
I dunno … I did the reach around once and there was definitely nothing there
I don’t believe they are not
I watched the whole thing. Looked and sounded like a fan edit made on iMovie. Also missed a few of the better waves from the swell.
