A Professional Jet Ski Pilot for Your Session, Event or Production

About the Team
The Big Wave Experience team operates at Praia do Norte on the biggest days of the season and has been active in the Nazaré lineup for over two decades. The jet ski pilots on the team are not just drivers. They are part of an active big wave surfing operation that understands conditions, reads the ocean, and makes fast decisions under pressure.
Every external pilot engagement is run to the same standard the team applies to their own surfing operations. Safety, precision and communication are the baseline for every session.
