Nobody was invited to save the town, it's a lie. Greetings from Portugal.
@heldersilva6672
Gareth wasn't "invited" to go there "save the town"... He just went there and surfed, and people in Nazaré still fish (and there's butchers, bakers, teachers, doctors, construction workers, etc... Just like in any other town).
@realhawaii5o
Hey I'm Portuguese. Nazaré has always been touristic. Town was doing fine. Surfers weren't invited. They're always welcome tho 🤙
@oscarsantos2608
No one was invited, but they are welcome here.
@MiguelDS5547
Where did you get those informations dude? The economy wasn't destroyed by overfishing, overfishing didn't even happen. Portugal economy just changed from agricultural to tourism. Young people stopped fishing as a job and choose to have a "higher" education. That's it.
@brunetteordie
Yet we saw 100 times more of you than we did of the waves.
@nickyf9674
This is my hometown. The surfers weren’t invited. McNamara noted a pattern that when there was a certain weather in NYC 1 week later it would translate in big waves in Nazaré and he went to surf there. Then he broke records about the waves he surfed and this attracted more surfers to the area. We had local people surfing all the time, he wasn’t the first. But it is undeniable that there was more publicity about this afterwards. Hope you enjoyed our little corner of paradise
@derekmeadowcroft2432
I went there and stayed on the upper town, if you go down on the walk to the lighthouse there are litterally signs warning you about tall waves washing over the cliff. Insane and we werent even there in peak season.
@giarc0
Thanks for showing us two short clips of the massive waves
@aixelsyd867
The technical term for the two unique waves meeting is called the superposition theorem. It's used in audio or signal engineering quite often. It is also believed to be the cause of a phenomenon known as "Rogue waves" which can sink ships in the middle of the ocean

Alternate reality: "Pissed off fishermen raise billions of dollars to fill an underwater canyon with dirt"
@brunol-p_g8800
Nazare was surfed long before him by locals and bodyboarders. What he did was shine the light on it for international surfers.
@horvathhcsongor5664
He was not invited dude stop lying. One of his friends working in the city sent him a picture of a wave to analyze and he came here searching for a 100 foot wave. By his actions he actually made Nazare a surfing town and all of Nazare respects him bringing here life.
@domvssapientiam665
Americans and their saving this and that 😂 It’s just a place with big waves, chill. People just found out and it became famous.
@craigevans8912
100ft Wave, Fantastic insight into the lives of the determined big wave surfers who put Nazare on the world map. The town welcomed surfers but didn’t invite them.

Things that ill never can do 1 - look down while on the heights 2- swim.
@nonnie8388
Inexplicably beautiful 🌊
@-.TS.-
Since no one has mentioned this, you read it here first. No one was “invited” to the town. The surfers found the waves.
