Nazaré, Portugal, attracts surfers and observers from around the world for its world-class surfing waves, and last November Brazilian surfer Rodrigo Koxa set the record for surfing the biggest-wave ever, at 80 feet. The same day, a British surfer broke his back on a similar wave. The silver lining for him was that he was given the award for best wipeout—and in the second half of the show, we talk about the meaning of “silver lining.” Read the full transcript of this episode at <a href= "http://www.plainenglish.com/46">http://www.plainenglish.com/46</a>     Transcripts are always free and available now! ¿Hablas español?
