This is Tom Butler’s wave ridden in Nazare, Portugal on December 14, 2018. The conditions were perfect on this swell, perfect wind, glassy ocean (by Nazare standards), and a PUMPING swell. The charts were showing the swell at 30-35FT, which in Nazare terms that means waves excess of 65 feet! This was the biggest set of the day, and Tom with his tow partner Sebastian Steudtner were in the best possible position to score this bombing set wave.
A day of two halves that’s for sure. Super slick morning followed by dry and grippy afternoon. Poor B practice got the short end of the stick that’s for sure.
