The One That Got Away Nazaré Drone Big Wave

A Surfer briefly hesitates and decides not to charge a wave in Nazaré, Portugal, during the infamous monster Swell of November 8, 2017, otherwise known as the Big Wednesday. The Big Wednesday, November 8, 2017 is still the Biggest day on record during the current big wave season in Portugal, it is expected that other major swells will hit the coast of Portugal before the season ends in mid March 2018 This Drone Footage was captured just minutes before British Big Wave surfer Andrew Cotton caught the famous wave that broke his back and ultimately sent him to the Hospital. The wave on this video was recorded as one of the Biggest of the Session, and the surfer probably did the right thing as it would be difficult to outrun this specific wave and ride it successfully, a rescue would ve been extremely difficult on that specific area of Praia do Norte.
