Surfing the Swell of the Decade in Madeira Island | Von Froth

Famous for its strong, heavy, long and perfect waves, the island of Madeira is considered by many to be the Hawaii of the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by crystal clear blue water and covered with lush subtropical vegetation, it plays the role very well. But the absence of big crowds, the fine wine culture, the pebbly beaches, the delicious food, and the general look and vibe of Madeira, really set it apart. On this trip, Nic Von Rupp scored the biggest and more consistent score we've seen here in years. It's Day of Days in Jardim do Mar, said to be the largest wave stop in the world. Featuring 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 team on a boat, it was a special day captured under an unprecedented setting. seen before the perspective of a perfect day.
