In the third season of HBO's '100 Foot Wave,' big wave surfer Garrett McNamara shares how his relationship to surfing has evolved over the last decade, particularly after significant injuries and starting a family. This season features reflections from McNamara, his wife Nicole, and renowned surfers, as they explore the thrill and dangers of surfing enormous waves. The changing environment of Nazaré, Portugal, with its booming tourism and impact on the local community, sets the stage for deeper questions about the pursuit of extreme surfingâspecifically, when ambition should give way to caution.
"Over the course of five episodes, McNamara, his wife Nicole, and a gamut of world-famous surfers reflect on what it means to surf adrenaline-pumping â and deadly â swells."
"Itâs emotional to see big dreams ram up against unpredictable conditions; and eye-opening to see how many lives revolve around the raw power of the ocean."
"Most importantly, it begins to ask the question few record-setting surfers like to face: When is enough enough?"
"Nazaré has dramatically changed. The whole country of Portugal has transformed since 2010. The attention that the wave brought is unheard of, astronomical, unbelievable."
