Nazaré, 1st giant swell of 2019

Nazaré, 1st giant swell of 2019

Conditions weren't perfect but that's what defines these surfers and these waves. Nazaré will always remain a natural wonder that at any time, can be both beautiful and dangerous.
What started out as wild and reckless became extraordinary. A-frames with mist produced from the wind was a site as the crowded cheered on each bomb.Francisco Porcella, Iain Consenza, Justine DuPont, Lucas Chianca and Nic Von Rupp and they delivered. Today was the first but as the day concluded it was obvious, we are all ready for Naza's power.

Gannet’s passion for place and commitment to the community is what inspired this project.
