Taking the term 'silly season' to another level is something we've all tried and failed. Not Nuno Santos.
The professional violinist recently took on a massive wave in Portugal whilst playing Jingle Bells in the name of extreme art; a project which he calls “A violin in the most unlikely place”.
The huge wave the musician carved up stood at a gnarly 20-foot-plus at Nazare's Praia do Norte surf break. He's not done yet though. He wants to go after even bigger waves, telling media that he's been training for a 60-foot-wave by “imagining [being] on the wave playing violin over and over every night before going to sleep.”
'I'm [planning] it for February 2016, but it really depends on the conditions,” he said.
