Jardim do Mar in Madeira has earned its reputation as one of the most intense spots for big wave surfing. The waves there are legendary—huge, powerful, and very unpredictable. When you get someone like Nic Von Rupp and his crew involved, you know it’s going to go off. They’ve been pushing the boundaries of big wave surfing, and the recent swell was nothing short of epic.
Madeira’s coastline is known for producing some of the heaviest waves in the world, often hidden away from the mainstream media. This recent swell was one of the heaviest in years makes it even more monumental. These waves aren’t just about size—they’re about raw power and the sheer intensity of what it takes to take them on.
