Think Surfing Nazare is Extreme? Try Slacklining Over It

Mar 20, 2018 By: Max Ritter

Nazaré, Portugal…where big-wave surfing dreams are either made, or broken (very violently). It takes a small amount of madness to drop in on these monster waves, but it must take a certifiable lunatic to try to walk a highline over them. 

Joshua Leopolz, a 26-year old German slackliner, did just that, rigging a 100-foot highline between two rocks during a winter storm and one of the biggest swells of the season. Walking a highline is hard anywhere, but getting continuously pounded by walls over water makes it near impossible. Leopolz reports he managed to cross the line three times.

I enjoyed your Free Fire Battleground article and planning to rewrite it on my own blog.

For anyone else, running along ridges like these would be a serious athletic achievement. For Kilian Jornet, the Catalonian Madman, it's practically a down day. The certain-death-exposure notwithstanding, Jornet makes quick work of the mountains around Åndalsnes, Norway.

That being said, his Troll Wall

Combine hurricane force winds, huge waves, and windsurfing off the coast of Ireland – and you get one of the gnarliest contests we’ve ever seen.

After the massive swell that hit Nazaré, Portugal in November 2018 provided for one of the best big-wave surfing events in history, the competitors and their friends, including Kai Lenny and Grant “Twiggy” Baker took advantage of lingering conditions to ride the waves in an unforgettable paddle session.
