Nuno Santos: Meet the violin-playing surfer

(KNA) - Professional Portuguese musician Nuno Santos enjoys playing the violin. He also enjoys surfing, though finding the time to practice both to a high level can be a challenge.

So he's come up with a highly unusual solution -- to do both simultaneously.

"Both music and sports have always been a part of my life," Santos tells . "I've been into both since I was five-years-old."

Santos' "home break" is at Nazaré, 75 miles (122 kilometers) north of Lisbon. Except it's not just any old break.

Nazaré is a mecca for surfers and where Garrett McNamara claimed a 100-foot ride in 2013, though that feat has not been ratified by Guinness World Records, which still recognizes the American's 78-footer from Praia do Norte in 2011 as its leading mark.
