Big Wave Surfing

Big Wave Surfing is an extreme form of surfing that involves riding enormous ocean waves, typically over 20 feet high, and sometimes reaching heights of over 60 feet. This adrenaline-pumping sport requires immense courage, skill, and physical fitness. Big wave surfers often rely on jet ski assistance or tow-in methods to catch these massive waves, as traditional paddling techniques may prove insufficient. Prominent big wave surfing locations include Mavericks in California, Jaws in Hawaii, and Nazaré in Portugal.
