♪ ♪

As the wave
starts sucking up,

sucking up, sucking up,

there's this frozen moment
where it's drawing me up

like a rollercoaster.

Like, clink, clink,
clink, clink.



I could just see
the entire scene.

It was like I was higher
than the cliff,

and I could see
the cliff there

with all the people.

Everyone's watching this.

I feel the shadow of the lip

coming up over the back,
right?

And I put my arm out like this
to break my fall...

and then I fall.

♪ ♪

In that moment,

the violence
knocked me into submission.

Just complete chaos...

spinning, cartwheels,
front flips, back flips.



I don't know
which way is up at all.

I'm going deeper, deeper.
Seems like forever.

And then... shh.

Goes quiet.

In that present moment,

I went through my whole
life review journey

underwater.

[somber music]

It was my whole entire life
in that moment.

- Look at him.
- Gosh.

Look at him.

Like, my whole life
is there in the water.

♪ ♪

It's, like, the fear,

the love, the stress, the...
all of it.

It was all in one.

[drone whirring distantly]

I mean, it felt
like five minutes went by

before the guys on the beach
said that they could spot him

way up north
in the shore break.

I come up one time,
I see Alemao.

He's coming, I'm like,
"Oh, my God, I'm saved.

Thank God."

I'm startin' to sense

something hurts in my arm,
you know?

[Jet Ski drones]
Grabs my hand,

hurts so bad I go, "Aaah!"

[muffled yelling]

When I tried to grab him,

he starts to pale.
He say, "No, no, no."

So I planned.
I go to the beach.

And I swim back

and then run to ask for him.

[groans]

- [moaning]
- All right.

[indistinct chatter]

[groans]

Breathe, buddy.
Breathe, buddy.

It fuckin' hurts.

We need some kind
of a splint.

Does anyone know what to do?

Don't move my arm right now.

- [moans]
- [speaking native language]

- No, no.
- [groans]

It was horrific.

That sick, like,
anxious feeling that...

like, I just saw his arm,
I was like...

- Aah!
- [speaking native language]

- Dislocated or broken?
- No, no, no, it's broken.

[moans] Don't touch it.

[groans]

He was alive.

Just... that was all
that I was hoping for.

You're hurt.
You need support.

Garrett, can you give me
an update?

- [speaking native language]
- He's fine.

He broke his elbow.

We're coming down, okay?

- Let's go.
- Mm-kay.

- What, are you...
- Fuck, just...aah! Stop!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

Too heavy.
[inhales, exhales]

[speaking English]

We were all, like,
still scared of the situation.

So, yeah,
it was really intense.

When you do
big wave surfing,

it's not a science.

You have to accept

that sometimes
she's gonna fall.

And I know
one day I will miss her.

What I didn't expect
is to miss her

on the biggest day,
on the biggest wave,

on the biggest fall
of her life.

[in English]

For sure.
Worst experience in Nazaré.

Yeah.

[speaking French]

I've always seen her
like a superhero.

Like, uh...

nothing can happen to her,
you know?

Like, the worst thing
happened to her and she...

she came out safe.

a superhero.

After this experience,

yeah, the first thought was,
"Okay, let's get married.

"Let's have kids.

Let's enjoy life
on a normal way."

And...

[chuckles] Just few days.
Just few days.

And then the...

the second big wave contest
in Nazaré happened.

[scooter buzzing]

[in English]

There was a few days passed

and I get an email sayin'
the contest is on.

And I was almost over
the contest anyway.

Like, I'm over that.

The season, getting worried
about, like,

what my vision
and my goals were,

like, never really quite

Yeah.
It's part of the game, eh?

The first thing
that I was thinking about,

it was, like,
first, having a rest,

but then going
back to the water

and being able
to surf a wave again.

So we did that with Tony.

It's kind of breaking the ice,
you know?

I didn't want to go out, no.

You say, like, "Yeah, let's go
for a tow session."

And I'm like,
"Yeah, okay, we can go,

but I'm just going to drive.
Like, I don't want to surf."

You're sure, Tony, yeah?
You're sure?

- No.

Tony and I,
we were nervous for sure.

Perfect.

I'm happy because I know
that it was a tough winter,

this time

that you are questioning yourself

to know
exactly what you want to do

We are, like, same level.

Like, "Oh, Justine,

Good luck too.
Me too. Me too.

It was just
something natural.

We didn't really think
too much.

Like, uh,
he's a Portuguese kid.

He's been dreaming
of doing that contest.

Since the first year
we come here,

we've seen him
in the water evolving.

Ooh.

[chuckles]

It's so numb.

It feels so weird.

Every time I put it up here,

it just doesn't feel
like it's mine.

What do you feel in this arm?

Mm, tingle. Like, cold...cold.

When I saw my arm
flopping around,

loose at my elbow joint,

you know,
I thought it was broken.

It ended up being dislocated,

and I was really grateful
for that.

But, damn, I realized

the seriousness
of a dislocation.

Ooh.

You can move this and this.

You'll not move this.
both: Yep.

He didn't walk
out of there

He walked out of there

grateful that it was

"just a dislocated elbow."
[chuckles]

- I got you!
- Got you.

- Got you!
- Do you want it right there?

That was awesome.

- Sure, yeah.
- I wanna watch this.

The takeaway
of this whole experience

is why am I risking my life?
What's it for?

What am I seeking, you know?

What's the need?
Is that worth the risk?

You know,
it's not even the injury.

Forget the injury.
It's the fact that, you know,

he almost died
and was lost at sea.

That's the real trauma to me.

He didn't know
if anybody was gonna save him.

He didn't know if he was gonna
make it to the beach.

Most people
would probably have died.

What an experience.

I wasn't sure
if I could survive it.

And life brought me
to that point

of getting to see.

I didn't die, but I got to see
all the confidence

and the training and everything
I've done in my life

and, like, earn that.

I'm spared by Mother Ocean,

I have new life.
What do I do with that?

Do I keep surfing giant waves?

Why do I feel that I need

such an extreme circumstance

in order to feel alive?

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know what I want.

I do care about the contest,

but I don't want to make
too much of a fuss about it.

Like, I was just
so disappointed last time.

I just needed to sort of,

And then, boom,
second place.

And I was like, "Wow. Okay.

I passed the first heat."

[chuckles]

Then semifinals...

[airhorn blares]
[yells]

With that wave,
I managed to stay second.

And then I realized...
I was like,

"Wha...
I'm on my first final ever,

like, on the big wave contest,
you know?

I was in the last heat.

I had, like,
a really good drop,

a really good turn...

I finished the wave.

Someone went to pick me up.

He just told me,
"You're first."

And I was like, "What?"

And then I...
soon I start to hear,

like, in Spanish, like...

Look. Super, super small

- Oh.
- Like, the best day ever.

Barrel wanted me
to tow him in Nazaré

for a while now.

I don't know if I was pushing,

but I was definitely
encouraging him to go.

Dad, I don't have
to catch a wave.

If you don't want to,
you don't have to.

I knew it was perfect size.

I knew everything
was just right.

And I knew
it was the day to take him.

Here you go. Right here.

[surfboard thuds]

It was so cute.

He jumps in the water.

And right when he touches
the water,

he's like...
"[vocalizes] It's cold."

Cold.

It's cold out here.

Garrett's in a good place.

I'm feeling like he's
really content more than ever.

Like, he has said
he's content before,

but it wasn't real.

Now it think
he's really settling in

to being a super present dad
and husband.

'Sup?

Am I okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. Are you okay?

CJ's figuring things out.

Pretty good, pretty good.

Pretty good. Aaah.

That was the most I've worked
my bicep in weeks.

I think if I hadn't taken
this legendary pounding,

I don't know that I would have

earned the respect of the club.

I may have still been
Garrett's brother-in-law.

And I feel
like now I'm CJ Macias.

I realized that I get

the same heart pumping
and nervousness

for some other things,

such as, like,
having the conversation

with a loved one
that I need to have with them,

before gathering together
a group of kids who are...

who knows what they're gonna
be like, you know?

If I can be pushing
and expanding myself

in these ways
that isn't risking my life,

I'm receiving
this growth and development,

and then it's not as limited
to surfing.

I like my life.

And even though
I still experience

a lot of these turmoils,

and life is so sad sometimes,
and all these things happen,

it's beautiful too, right?

My kiss?
[gasps]

- Aw.
- Garrett's been sensitive

to CJ's injury
and not being pushy

or even pushing.

But he has asked him
a few times

if he was gonna go back
to Nazaré.

Garrett may be
living vicariously

- through Barrel and I.
- Everybody ready?

And we live vicariously
through him.

Two, three.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm pretty content
on the land these days.

But then when I get
back in the water,

I'm like, "How could I not
be longing for this

all day, every day?"

When we sat down to write
our goals for this next year,

at the top of the list,
his goal is to be

in the best shape
of his life by 55.

He's trying to say
it's so that he can be

helpful for me and the kids,
but I am pretty sure

it's so that he can still surf

the biggest wave in the world.
[chuckles]

I'm doin' my best to reverse
the clock right now.

My neck's perfect.

My back is perf...my...
yeah, everything...

little pain in this shoulder,
but it's not bad.

I just wanna take Barrel

to all these
good little waves,

and if big ones show up, amazing.

I got one.

Got one! Got one!

I mean, I wanna be able
to get Barrel

till I'm 105 with Barrel.

All right.
We're gonna let him go.

He's not big enough, 'kay?

- He is small.
- Give him a kiss?
