Across Portugal and Spain, surfers are discovering big break after big break. First Garrett McNamara sledded a monster in Portugal at Praia do Norte that some called 90 feet (unlikely), and now the Quiksilver La Vaca Gigante has entered its waiting period for swell. This big wave contest — the Big Cow — is being held at Playa de el Bocal in Spain, which was discovered just five years ago. No word on how big El Bocal can hold, but the contest won’t get called unless waves are at least 20 feet. 24 of the world’s top riders have been invited and will have 48 hours warning.
