She was the first Portuguese woman — and remains the only one — to regularly challenge Nazaré’s giant waves. Joana Andrade is 44 years old and stands just 1.54 meters tall. The 15-meter “mountains of the sea” are a constant challenge for the Portuguese surfer, in a sport where mind and body must be perfectly aligned and danger is ever-present. In the documentary “The Giant of Nazaré,” we closely follow the surfer, who divides her time between Ericeira and Nazaré.
