Remarkable footage of two surfers simultaneously riding a giant wave during the first big swell of the winter season in Nazaré, Portugal.

The video, captured by Portuguese videographer Pedro Miranda on October 21 off Praia do Norte, shows Brazilians Carlos Burle and Rodrigo Koxa performing a rare "double ride" on a gigantic wave.

Later on they end up being swallowed by the wave.

''During the session, which was stormy and uncommonly dangerous, the Brazilian surfers had the chance to do something that doesn’t happen very often, especially in Nazaré: to share one of the biggest waves of the day,'' the filmer later wrote online.

''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,'' he added, describing their accidental "double ride" of the same enormous wave.

Praia do Norte beach, near the fishing village of Nazaré, has become famous for huge waves since Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara set a then record in 2011 for the largest wave ever surfed when he rode a 78-foot wave.

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.
