Nazaré, renowned for its monstrous waves, becomes the epicenter of big-wave surfing with the inaugural Big Wave Grand Prix in 2023. This new competition, pioneered by surfers Eric Rebiere and Joana Andrade, marks a paradigm shift in how surfing events are structured.

The Big Wave Grand Prix introduces an innovative “entertainment award system” that evaluates surfers based not only on their performance in the water but also on their relationship with nature and the local community. This surfer-owned and operated platform aims to engage the community and visitors alike, tracking the season’s performances and celebrating surfers who contribute significantly beyond their surfing prowess.

Featuring a diverse lineup including Eric Rebiere, Joana Andrade, Kalani Lattanzi, Michelle des Bouillons, Lucas Fink, Michaela Fregonese, Nic Lamb, Hermine Bonvallet, Rodrigo Koxa, Polly Ralda, and Tony Laureano, the Big Wave Grand Prix ensures equal opportunities and compensation regardless of gender. The competition spans three months, activating when waves reach or exceed an impressive 20 feet (6 meters).

This debut event promises thrilling spectacles and a fresh approach to celebrating surfing’s bravest athletes and their profound impact on Nazaré’s vibrant coastal community.
