Garrett McNamara Tows Into Biggest Wave Ever Surfed – Recorded At 90ft [0:54]

How about this then? Garrett McNamara breaks the world record for the biggest wave every surfed by charging this 90ft monster at Praia do Norte off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. For most of the session the waves had been around 60ft according to Drift but a freak wave which has been linked to a peaking in the swell came in and Garret was right in the spot. He’d been based there for a month waiting for waves like this, the spot is in the firing line of the Nazaré Canyon an offshore “gap” in the continental pate that acts like a funnel for the swell. To think we’re now only 10ft away from seeing 100ft wave surfed.
