“Grande” is the latest production of Nuno Dias, a short film featuring some of his favorite moments during this year’s big wave season in Nazaré, Portugal. 2016/2017 was a special winter at Nazaré, with so many swells and consistent big wave action taking place. Barriers were broken on so many levels, most notably on the paddling front. With a lot of new faces and different approaches, the arena has definitively changed this year.
Nuno spent most of the Winter in Portugal (and Hawaii) capturing incredible footage that you likely saw in international media, foreign productions, and from the World Surf League itself. So it’s not by coincidence that Nuno is the most nominated filmmaker in this year’s edition of the WSL Big Wave Awards. The 22-year old has four video nominations to his name from this work, including Ride of the Year, two Wipeout nominations, and one for the Biggest Paddle.
