World Press Photo 2007 Photo taken in Nazare conquers award


A photo taken during the Sumol Nazare BB Special Edition (a big wave bodyboarding event), that took place in last December, at Praia do Norte (big wave spot), earned a distinction at the 2007 World Press Photo Awards (WPPh).

The awards where announced by the WPPh Foundation and the photo journalist Miguel Lopes Barreira was placed third in the "Sport Action" category with an amazing black and white image where bodyboarder Jaime Jesus is caught completely suspended in the air, about to fall in the massive whitewash.

The World Press Photo Awards are considered the most important awards in terms of international recognition of the work done by photo journalists worldwide.
The awards ceremony is to be held on the 27th of April, at Amsterdam.

Nazare and Silver Coast of Portugal are, once again, in the spotlight, as the potential for radical water sports that is found here starts to gain international attention. A natural consequence, which will obviously affect the property business in the most positive way, as every year, more, and more surfers and ocean lovers in general, make way for this beautiful stretch of coastline facing the mighty Atlantic, curious to see what all the fuss about…is.
