Sebastian Steudtner has ridden some of the largest waves of the decade during the so-called “Swell of the Century” in Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal.
Steudtner is a professional big wave surfer with German and Austrian nationality benefiting from more than 19 years of professional surfing.
He is by far one of the most experienced Nazaré surfers and an absolute expert on the surf spot at Praia do Norte.
On October 29, 2020, Sebastian Steudtner surfed one of the biggest, fastest, and most challenging waves in history. He was towed into this massive wall of water by his partner, Maya Gabeira.
The hardest part in setting a goal is never know if you have what’s required to achieve it. When Jacob Kelly Quinlan took on the goal of surfing 100 river waves he faced the biggest challenge. One that would shape ten years of his life. Right up until the last moment on his final expedition he froze in fear, still with doubts of knowing if he had what it takes. In the end, it all comes down to taking a leap of faith.
