HISTORY
Early 20th Century
Typical boat called “Candil”, with its tapered bow, helped fishermen to enter the surf and surf the waves in those times.This fight was daily and was not always on equal footing.
1968
“This is a summary of recent surfing history in the Portuguese fishing village, but what if we tell you that Garret MacNamara was only one year old when surfing started in Nazaré? It was there in 1968 that Jim Freeman, Greg MacGillivray and Michael D. Margulies filmed Follow Me, A documentary about surfing in various locations around the planet. And let's say that protagonists Bob Purvey, Claude Codgen and Mary Lou McGinnis were probably the first surfers to catch waves in Nazaré.”

70s, 80s of the 20th century
In the photo, Augusto Ribeiro, as one of the first Nazaré surfers. João Grilo and João Eustáquio, from the older generations, followed by Paulo Borges, Rui Pedro Monteiro, José Bizarro, Simão Santos, João de Almeida, João Pejapes, among others, were also among the first local surfers and bodyboarders in Nazaré, who promote the taste of surfing and bodyboarding to the new Nazaré surfing generations.
2020
In the photo, Kay Lenny, a big wave surfer from Maui, Hawaii, on a giant wave in Nazaré. There have been many surfers who have been surfing giant waves in Nazaré, in which Garret McNamara stands out with the first world record.
“1st World Record
In November 2011, after chasing storms and tracking the swells (all paid for by himself), McNamara joined Guinness World Records after surfing a 78 ft (23.8 m) wave at Praia do Norte, located in Nazaré, Portugal, this after being towed to the wave from a jet-ski, riding the 6'0 tow board made by Dick Brewer. His record broke the previous world record by more than a foot, but the premature announcement (by others, not McNamara) proved a source of controversy in world surfing. However, McNamara continues the search for an even bigger wave. ”
