Okay, so first wave we checked, it's going off and the winds and conditions are good
and me and Ivan are going to head out.
Me and my boy Ivan, my little buddy, no more solo sessions.
Going for a fun, crazy slab.
Far from the fjords and the ice cold currents, brave and sore of a new frontiers.
Songs and sagas of a fate determined, shields and spears.
Bows of favour of the thrill of plunder, pulled together for the clan and kin.
Flank of hammers and the crash of thunder bound within.
The echoes of eternity.
Valhalla calling me.
To pluck the strings of destiny.
Valhalla calling me.
Just me and Ivan and a heaving slab for two hours straight.
Perfect conditions offshore.
Crazy quick period on them, so they're just popping up and then just perfect wedges.
Able to back, get in behind them and shoot through these huge barrels.
Rocks, rock factor very high.
We got washed across the rocks multiple times.
Ivan got washed across the rocks, I got washed across the rocks.
But no mortal injuries, just good times.
Sketchy paddle out, shallow slab, sketchy get in on the rocks.
It's a good day.
We're heading to the big wave awards.
It's here in Nazare.
All the big wave guys are showing up.
And they're gonna, we're nominated for ride of the year and surfer of the year.

It's nice to see everybody get back together.
And let's turn up for this again soon.
Thank you everybody.
The winner of the 2019 Surfer of the Year award is
Nathan Florence.
And that's great for bringing this back.
The awards are, like everyone else before said, it's important.
It's important we celebrate big wave surfing.
It's one of the most incredible aspects of the sport of surfing.
Because we as big wave surfers are pushing ourselves against
the most powerful force of nature, the ocean.
And doing that all year round.
So to be up here and having our teams around us.
All it takes is safety teams and filmers.
The mental strength that we go through ourselves to push out there.
So all that being celebrated here again.
For the next generation to have that.
Come up and have a platform for them to be celebrated.
I appreciate them bringing it back.
It's an honor to be back here.
I have to thank my wife.
She cooked up a lot to chase all these swells.
So thanks to my wife.
Love, film, wave!
Yeah, thanks Lauren.
