SURFING THE SWELL OF THE DECADE IN MADEIRA ISLAND | VON FROTH

Known for its powerful, heavy, long, and perfect waves, Madeira Island is seen by many as the Hawaii of the Atlantic. Surrounded by crystal-clear blue waters and covered lush subtropical vegetation it plays the part all too well. But the absence of big crowds, the fine wine culture, the boulder-riddled beaches, the delicious food and the general look and vibe of Madeira, really sets it all apart. For this trip Nic Von Rupp scored the biggest and better aligned swell we’ve seen here in years. It was a Day of Days at Jardim do Mar, arguably the best big wave pointbreak in the world. Joined by fellow riders, Hawaiian Big Wave Charger, Torrey Meister, Grant “Twiggy” Baker, Miguel Blanco, Lourenço Katzenstein and Portuguese young gun, João Maria Mendonça and with a shooting crew on a boat, it was an unique day captured under a never seen before angle in beyond perfection sort of day. Come and join u us in the line-up.

I had crazy waves in Paul do Mar and Ponta Paul. Almost alone in the water. I had the chance to met Orlando. The people on the island are very welcoming. Cheers for everything Nic !

We chatted once before , as I surfed figuera do foz out by the lighthouse down to the river in 1979 with some guys including Graham Nile who you may have heard of. Surprised if you haven’t. He is in his seventies now and I’m 66 this year. Still surfing as is Graham from what I hear still trying o win everything
