October 21st, 2017 - Nazaré Portugal
The first big swell of the season took place this Saturday in Nazaré, Portugal. Praia do Norte (the North Beach) is known for having some of the biggest waves worldwide, including the current world record for the biggest wave ever surfed.
Many of the Big Wave Surfing elite travelled to Portugal last week from many places across the world, in order to ride this specific swell, including Professional Big Wave Surfer Carlos Burle and Rodrigo Koxa, both from Brazil. During the session, which was stormy and uncommonly dangerous, the Brazilian Surfers had the chance to do something that doesn’t happens very often, especially in Nazaré: to share one of the biggest waves of the day.

Carlos Burle, caught the wave first, and Rodrigo Koxa a few seconds later, they were both fully committed which means that after realising they were both on the wave, they could not exit it. The double ride was one of the highlights of the day, taking in consideration the size of the wave.
