00:00As a blind person, it's easier to surf bigger waves.
00:16People would always say to me, you can't do that because you're disabled.
00:21As time went on, I realised I tried all those things and I could do them.
00:24Oh my God, is this how you see?
00:29But then every time someone said to me, you can't do it, I'd do it.
00:31So my life experience was, people will tell you you can't do something, but if you try,
00:36you can.
00:37Nazaré is one of the most dangerous waves in the world.
00:46For more than a decade, surfers have embarked on a death or glory mission.
00:50Choisi par Matt Formston.
00:51Matt Formston.
00:52For Matt Formston.
00:53Sarah and I are both fearful of the ocean.
00:55Nazaré is just the biggest waves on the planet, you know.
00:58It's a dream place, but at the same time can be the worst place ever, can be your worst
01:04nightmare.
01:05And yeah, it'd be awesome if he does it, it would be a great story to tell.
01:08I just say, don't die.
01:10It's going to be a different story if he goes out when it's really big, like giant.
01:28Regardless of whether you're blind or you can see, Nazaré is going to give you an arse
01:33whooping.
01:34There's no such thing as barriers, there's only obstacles.
01:41You either go over it or around it, but you don't let it stop you.
01:46A very, very, very good performance, for those who don't see it, it's good.
01:53He's still on the wave, Matt, he's still on the wave.
01:57Good speed, good speed.
02:03Gain more, gain more, gain more.
02:05Down, down, burn down, burn down, burn down, burn down.
