They call me AVALANCHE

I belive we all know what an Avalanche means and we can remember of a history or a movie in the mountains that an Avalanche happens with the snow sliding down the mountain and getting a climber or a snowboarder...

But what if I told you we have an Avalanche here in Brazil?

Yeah you heard it right, that's the name of the Biggest wave in Brazil located in Vila Velha, Espirito Santo.

And this post is all about this massive wave that breaks almost 4 km away from the shore and has been the chase of the life of the guys from @nxfbodyboard, such as @carlosbellumat, @lucasrocha94, @bernardonassar and @luizhadad.

And althought it's not as big as Nazare, Portugal or Jaws, Hawaii but has caught the attention of a lot of people worldwide for the past 3 years.

Last year the two best waves choosen in the Big Wave Contest held here in Brazil were surfed at Avalanche.

And that's why we call it Avalanche because its almost the ocean turning into the surfers head.
