I'd say the risk is much, much greater of a 60 foot wave compared to pistes, but its true he isn't really putting anyone else in danger

Dean Scott could pull a Nazare sized cone at 13. Copping a gobby as he inhaled and winking at the 6 sets of eyes spying from outside the shed.

The best thing about surfing when I started was that there was virtually nobody over mid-twenties involved. It was our world. We only had to compete with each other and there was no-one telling us how to do.it. A 13 year old at Nazare is just where we are up to in making surfing just like everything else. We had real choices about how things could have progressed but we opted into mainstream culture and....yawn....became just another bunch of conformist hedonists.

not sure of the difference between this and the even younger kids you see flying down the ski slopes, except the skiiers can hit other people.
