Bodyboarder Jaime Jesus competes in the Nazaré Special Edition championship. The contest, one of the most important in Portuguese bodyboarding, does not begin until the waves are over three meters high. Jesus was tackling five-meter waves, and won the prize for the biggest wipe out (spectacular fall) during the competition.
