Vague à l'âme

The decade-long odyssey of surfing pioneer Garrett McNamara, who, after visiting Nazaré, Portugal in hopes of conquering a 100-foot wave, pushed the sport to ever-greater heights and alongside locals helped transform the small fishing village into the world’s preeminent big-wave surfing destination.

Brazil’s Pedro ‘Scooby’ Vianna risks everything the moment he hits the water at Nazaré. But what is everything? Risk vs Reward explores Scooby’s upbringing in Brazil and how surfing paved the way for a new life for himself and his family. Becoming a major figure in the world of big wave surfing, Scooby reflects on a nearly life-changing accident at Nazare and what it took to face and overcome his fears.

Chasing giant swells is every surfers dream, but that dream can sometimes swiftly turn into a nightmare. Starring Benjamin Sanchis and Shane Dorian, this film gives you an underground look into the pain and passion that goes into big wave conquest. This is the full story of what it takes to ride and capture the heaviest waves on the planet.
