The Inertia

As you’re reading this, (unless, of course, you’ve stumbled upon this sometime in the future) Portugal’s most famous surf spot is in the throes of a swell of ridiculous proportions. Touted as the biggest swell to hit the region in years, it also came with a boat load of wind. That didn’t stop some of the best in the world, though. Have a look at Francisco Porcella’s (who makes up one half of the Wipeout Brothers), truly, terrifyingly, butt-clenchingly big wave over at Surfline. Until more footage drops, though, let’s have a look back at another big day. It was December 22nd, and things were ramping up quickly. Andres Flores, a relatively unknown surfer from the Dominican Republic, showed up and went balls out. As you can see, it didn’t work out all that well.
