100 FOOT WAVE featuring surfing pioneer Garrett McNamara

HBO released the official teaser trailer for 100 Foot Wave documentary series premiering on July 18. Directed and executive produced by award-winning filmmaker Chris Smith, the six-part HBO Sports Documentary series 100 Foot Wave intimately captures the decade-long odyssey of surfing pioneer Garrett McNamara, who, after visiting Nazaré, Portugal in hopes of conquering a 100-foot wave, pushed the sport to ever-greater heights and alongside locals helped transform the small fishing village into the world’s preeminent big-wave surfing destination.

The six-episode series captures the common spirit and fearless passion shared by McNamara and big-wave surfers from across the world as they push themselves through life-altering injuries and tantalizing near-misses in their collective pursuit of the inconceivable.

Spanning four continents, 100 Foot Wave is an inspirational story of a group of people on a quest to achieve new heights, and a town and a sport that were forever changed by one seemingly impossible dream.
