Do big waves make you feel queasy? If so, then look away now. The waves at Praia do Norte, Nazare, Portugal are famed for being some of the largest in the world, attracting the world’s elite surfers as a result. Filmmaker Javier Sobrado Lasheras, 27, wanted to capture the size and scale of Praia do Norte’s waves as part of a documentary he is filming on the biggest waves in the Basque country. The video shows a host of professional surfers riding the Atlantic waves, which at times look more like white water or the edge of a waterfall.

Over the past nine years the daredevil has notched up an impressive list of firsts, including taking part in the first paraplegic BASE jump, as well as developing the ‘Russian swing’ technique of lobbing himself into canyons. He may have completed more than 3,600 BASE jumps and 2,200 sky dives but he is still searching for new ways of developing the extreme sport.

A FEARLESS free climber scales the Eiffel Tower and takes selfies at the summit. But while the massive structure may look like the iconic Paris monument - it is in fact a replica situated in Romania. In the vertigo-inducing footage, adventurer Flaviu Cernescu, 34, climbs up the 177 feet tower without any safety equipment – while a drone films camera captures his every move. The adrenaline junkie then balances along the narrow beams at the top, knowing that a gust of wind would be enough to end his life. The Romanian-born athlete revealed he enjoyed the stunt and that the hardest part was climbing down.
