This raw footage shows Brazilian Big Wave Surfer, Thiago Jacaré (35 ys old), charging into the first wave of a big set in Nazaré during yesterday’s monster swell. Thiago manages to ride the wave until a bump makes him fall of his board and he gets immediately swallowed by a wall of white water, suffering an extensive hold down before resurfacing just in time to catch a quick breath, just before the next wave impact. His team mate, Big Wave Surfer David Langer, first attempts to rescue him with his jetski, but there’s no window of opportunity during the next waves of the set. Thiago ends up taking with a total of 5 waves on the head (including the first wave) before he gets rescued by German Big Wave Surfer Sebastian Steudtner, in a moment where all teams in the water were requested to help with this rescue. Thiago was safely taken to the beach, where a paramedic team was already expecting him with full support. Thiago managed to survive this incident without a scratch, although he was completely exhausted when he got to the beach, and he was immobilised and taken in by an ambulance, as safety measure. Later on that same day, Thiago gave the following statement to the filmmaker who captured this footage: “This was by far the worst wipeout of my life, I barely got the chance to breath between waves, when I got to the sand I was completely exhausted, to the point I couldn’t even move” (…) “I want to thank Sebastian Steudtner for the rescue and David Langer for the tow, I won't ever forget this day!”. Thiago Jacaré is an experienced Big Wave Surfer from Brazil, he worked many years as a professional lifeguard and has several rescue courses, Thiago is also involved in the organisation of Big Wave competitions in Brazil, when he is not chasing giant swells around the world. Praia do Norte beach, near the fishing village of Nazaré, has become famous worldwide for huge waves in 2011, when Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara set a world-record for the largest wave ever surfed at 78-foot at the time, in 2017 that record was broken by Brazilian surfer Rodrigo Koxa, setting the bar at 80-foot. __________________________ Copyright © 2018, Pedro Miranda, all rights reserved Surfer: Thiago Jacaré (BR) Jet Ski 1: David Langer (US) Jet Ski 2: Sebastian Steudtner (DE) Location: Praia do Norte, Nazaré - Portugal Date: 2018.Dec.14 __________________________ Related Videos: Tom Butler's Gigantic Wave (same day): https://youtu.be/-ucBfEDVJbA Andrey Karr's Gigantic Wave (same day): https://youtu.be/PZg8Bu0AMKY Rodrigo Koxa's Word Record: https://youtu.be/u_q9VI7pDqU Andrew Cotton's 2017 Wipeout of the Year: https://youtu.be/buMIbUPhT_A Russell Bierke’s Wipeout on Nov 7th 2018: https://youtu.be/3T0yayo7mAU Andrew Cotton’s 2016 Wipeout & Jetski Crash: https://youtu.be/W9mG-atemFE __________________________ The footage in this video is protected by copyright.

The beating is harder when inflated but at least you can catch some air in between the waves

At nazare it looks like the most power seems to come in the second after the wave broke., with more powerful whitewater than expected.
This video is perfect lesson material for safety classes.
These guys are absolute professionals.
Great job!

Imagine seeing his body flipping around underwater using 'RF Pose' technology!
(It's something that allows you to see a person's figure through walls like an X-ray).
Is used to face these kind of situations..and very constant training
Ok then pls keep your stupids comments for you, cook, thx ;-)
It just seems like you doesn't have ANY clue about the violence of those waters turbulences. Even a life jacket "want" to get away from your body in this hell. So guess what for a little can just "mouth grabbed"...^^
How many in Twelve months time?
Esperamos que esteja tudo bem!
OMG!!! Did you see the SHEER MAMMOTH size of those water walls our tiny Thiago had to endure over his shaking skull in order to survive? OMG!!!!! I'm so tense now! WOW! He's ALIVE! I can't believe it! How come did he manage to escape that ordeal?
Now I need to hug somebody! I love you, dear Thiago, but I love even more that teutonic & determined Jedi Master jetskier Sebastian Steudtner, because HE made a slam dunk right there! And I love all those involved, paramedics & witnesses, for their impeccable teamwork & kind support!
Did I say that I love you too, Pedro Miranda, my dear brother from nossa querida terrinha d'além mar, ora pois? Fique lá com um terno abraço do irmão brasileiro, aqui aflito com mais essa querida maluquice de nossos bravos irmãos aventureiros, que nos cativam! Todo carinho a nossos irmãos portugueses aí porque, em águas turbulentas, somos todos uma só Família Humana!
