Get ready for what seems to be the biggest wave ever surfed. As high as 100 feet, and the conquering hero is a 45-year-old man in a young athlete’s game.
Yep, that tiny dot is Garrett McNamara. Dwarfed by probably the biggest wave ever surfed by man.
I just reached him in Portugal. Can you explain to the likes of us what it feels like on that moment in this wave?
“Oh, you are just going so fast and it really, really similar to snowboarding down a giant mountain and you’re just chattering and just flying down this bumpy, bumpy mountain. Your brain’s getting rattled. Your whole body is getting rattled.”
At the end of the ride, he was also nearly smashed onto the rocks.
“I can honestly say survival chances were very, very slim.”
And McNamara, 45-year old Hawaiian, lucky to be living legend, might just have shattered his own world record. A little over 77 feet, set in 2011, also right here off the rugged coast of Portugal. Surfing at nearly 60 miles per hour, the ride took less than 30 seconds. Potential record waves are measured using a surfer crouched on a board for scale.
