It was a Monday, and it was epic.

That explains the title of this clip, filmed by Pedro Santos Ribeiro at Nazaré earlier this week and featuring Ruben Gonzalez, José Gregorio, Tom Lowe, Alex Botelho, Sebastian Steudtner and various other big wave nutjobs. Some relied on the power of the jet ski, others trusted in the strength of their forelimbs and paddled like buggery.

A questionable choice of music, it’s fair to say, but no doubts about the size of the waves or of the cojones on display: XXFL.
