Directed by Mikey Corker and Alex Laurel. 2019. Portugal. 13 min.
Award-winning filmmakers Mikey Corker and Alex Laurel teamed-up with The Red Bulletin and spent the winter documenting an unknown hero of the world’s most famous big wave venue—Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal. His name is Sérgio Cosme and he’s been a professional driver his whole life, beginning with motocross and ending with rally car racing. But in the last five years, Cosme has focused on being a rescue jet ski driver on the biggest days at Nazaré. Out-running 20+ meter mountains of swell to save up the surfers attempting to ride them, Cosme has placed himself in one of the highest stakes positions in sport—and all of it for little money or accolades. Why risk so much for so little?
