With a win at the Nazaré Towin Challenge and many gigantic sessions under his belt, big wave rider, Nic Von Rupp, now pays tribute to Nazaré’s Praia do Norte, the most challenging surf spot on the planet, and a place with the power to make or break boards, egos, careers, and necks with equally undisputed ease. This episode of Portugal BacktoBack is a collection of the best and worst moments Nic has experienced in this fascinating, puzzling and terrifying surf spot. Dare to face your nightmares and dreams eventually will come true.
