“If you take Jaws, Puerto Escondido and Waimea shorebreak and put them all on steroids… you get Nazaré.” – Garrett McNamara
WaveJet athlete and big wave world record breaker, Garrett McNamara (HAW), sits down with The Surf Channel Television Network to explain the monster waves that Portugal’s Nazaré creates, including his scrutinized 100ft wave caught in January of 2013. McNamara has been surfing since his family moved to Hawai’i in 1978, growing up with talented brother and athlete, Liam McNamara. During the winter of 2002-03, McNamara won the Tow Surfing World Cup at Jaws in 70ft conditions. The Hawaiian big wave charger went on to catch a record breaking 75 – 90ft wave at Nazaré in 2011, then ventured back in January 2013 and caught another massive wave with a possible height of 100ft.

I am in awe
You are amazing.
How was that not a tsunami
OK I saw what GMcN spoke of: this wave broke in 2 & might have stood higher, for longer, meaning + or – another 40 ft in height, as a guess; what's the highest ever seen at reef, shelf or shore, and is the number going to turn out equal to those of freak/rogue open ocean storm slops, likewise at well over 100 ft?

That's cool stuff, but you should see what Doug jewell in Detroit Michigan has to say about this check him out on you tube very very very very very funny
Portugal <3
more good mc namara man brave waves big nazare portugal recording guimes 100 ft the best surf man
man corage surf record big waves congratulation in nazare portugal 100 ft
If he can surf an 100 ft wave,thats traveling 60 miles an hr.if this was a tsunami almost near shore,the wave would only be traveling at 40 mpr,he can surf both ocean and tsunami waves if hes capable of this.if surfers get hit by 50 to 100 plus ft waves and get up after,there has to be a way to survive as a surfer and swimmer in the ocean when tsunamies this high comes in.nice job man!teach me!
