Schon öfter mal schrieb ich hier über die Monster Wellen der Küste von Nazaré / Portugal. Diesmal dreht es sich allerdings nicht ums Surfen. Highliner Emerson Machado aus Brasilien hat über den Felsen eine Slackline gespannt und balanciert über die krasse Brandung.

Wenn die Brecher dort auf den Felsen ballern, entsteht eine ganz amtliche Böe. Machado wird gut durchgeschüttelt, bleibt aber stehen. Die meiste Zeit.

Aus der Drohnen Perspektive sieht es wirklich verdammt spektakulär aus.

According to Emerson Machado, a member of the Western Riders, the line was installed days before a big swell arrived in Nazaré, and everything was cautiously planned, checked and re-checked to provide the maximum level of security possible to the slackliners performing the walk. “It’s calculated risk, we are not crazy like it may seems at first sight, in reality everything was planned to the very minor details. Over the years, we’ve performed walks in many locations before, including Nazaré and we take this very seriously” says the member of Western Riders, “over the course of two days, we’ve performed dozens of walks between the cliff and the rock in Nazaré, and no one was ever injured during that time, it’s relatively safe when performed by an experienced crew, working together with planning and caution” he adds.
