NAZARÉ BIG WAVE ARENA

Nazaré, the Colosseum of the 21st century, becomes the stage for a unique spectacle where our surf gladiators risk their lives for the breathtaking entertainment of in-person and online fans. Immerse yourself in the magic of Nazaré, Portugal, and experience up close the pulsating energy and immense power of the ocean, which explodes here at the Praia do Norte, this is a spectacular spot. The energy carves through the canyon and unfolds majestically here at the Praia do Norte, affectionately known as "Big Mama". A place where the forces of nature collide with awe and admiration. Our surf gladiators step up to confront this mighty force and deliver a unique spectacle that surpasses the limits of possibility. Welcome to Nazaré, where courage meets the forces of nature, creating a spectacle that sets the hearts of the audience racing. This is a ballet of human faith and wild nature.
