HBO Max’s new docuseries, 100 Foot Wave, chronicles international surfing legend Garrett McNamara’s journey to the small town of Nazaré, Portugal, where he hopes to surf a 100-foot wave. Nazaré is special to the surfer for more than one reason. Not only was it where he broke two world records, but it was also where he married Nicole McNamara. Garrett McNamara’s wife Nicole Macias McNamara, as she’s also known, is an inspiration to many who feel strongly about environmental causes. She has brought awareness and taught many how to proactively help ocean conservation efforts and prevent waste pollution. Nicole and Garrett are now Emmy-winners, 100 Foot Wave is moving into season 2, and they’re filming a third season. We celebrate their amazing work in this Nicole McNamara wiki.
