Chapter II: “The Circus Is Burning” with Andrew “Cotty” Cotton

Host Nicole McNamara recaps the action of episode 2, and takes us inside the circus that is Nazaré these days, with its overcrowded cliff of spectators and waves crowded with surfers — so many that a collision happens and then a fight breaks out. Then she sits down for an intimate conversation with big wave surfer Andrew “Cotty” Cotton to talk about  his previous life as a plumber, why he’s Garrett McNamara’s “chosen one” and how he balances his unorthodox career with being a dad.
