Perhaps the most surprising thing about the rabid pack who take to the Nazaré lineup once the waves tick above the 20 foot mark, is how many over 50’s there are among the ranks.

As a result, most over-50s spend their leisure time confined to either their garden’s or the golf course. Or, for the slightly more adventurous ones, running or cycling ball-achingly long distances.
