Nazaré, Portugal, historically a fishing village, has become mecca for big wave surfing. It’s home to the largest waves ever surfed, and hosts some of the best surfing competitions in the world. Surfing this area is risky enough, but big mountain skier and surfer Chuck Patterson had to take it to the next level, skiing the world’s biggest waves.
Tow skiing, as they’ve named this wild activity, is arguably pretty dangerous no matter the size of the wave. Being clipped into skis means a fall can easily be a lot more dangerous than a typical surfing fall. Nonetheless, Chuck continues to push to the limits of what’s possible on skis and water. Seriously impressive stuff.
