I love this. Mind, body, and spirit. The rush you get out of it, over coming doubts and fears. Knowing you can do it, you commit and execute your dive. The feeling of over coming of being aligned and so alive is intensely gratifying yet humbling. Photo: Nicola Belillo

Editor’s Note: #HeavyMissions is a brand new series featuring surfing’s big-wave elite members. These are the stories told by the watermen and women from the heaviest waves around the world. The third in the series is big-wave hellman and wingsuit flyer, Niccolo Porcella 

When it comes to extreme sports, the people you surround yourself with is so important. We trust and look out for each other. Vibes and knowledge we share can change critical situations in a heart beat. I’m so blessed to have formed such a great group of friends. They have taught me to overcome doubts and fears, and to live with gratitude, integrity, and faith.
My goal as an athlete is to inspire everyone to follow their dreams and know that we can accomplish whatever we desire. If there’s one thing I’ve learned to understand from this beautiful world, it’s that we can truly do anything if we believe in ourselves.
