SURF ATLAS/ EUROPE
Nazaré
🇵🇹 Praia do Norte, Portugal
Home of the biggest waves ever surfed. An underwater canyon funnels Atlantic swell into the colossal peaks of Praia do Norte, where tow teams ride faces topping 20 metres. Chaotic, mountainous and world-famous — a spectacle unlike anywhere on Earth.
