Incredible footage from the legendary surfing beach at Nazaré, Portugal shows Australian big wave surfer, Russell Bierke, charging one of the biggest waves that day before wiping out. <br /><br />Bierke, 21, managed to keep control for a moment on the wave but wiped out after a massive surf explosion behind him, forcing him underwater. Bierke was able to resurface just in time to catch a quick breath before the next wave impact forced him under again. <br /><br />Luckily he was rescued by award-winning big wave surfer Lucas "Chumbo" Chianca from Brazil, who arrived on a jet-ski. This was done during the biggest session of the season so far, on November 7, with waves exceeding 60 feet in height.
