Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

With waves coming from different angles when surfing at Nazaré in Portugal, things here can get extremely dangerous. What creates these ginormous waves and why are they so deadly?

Some surfing spots are so intense, even the pros hesitate before paddling out. 🌊 Take Teahupo’o in Tahiti, for example—it’s home to waves so heavy and hollow they’ve been nicknamed “liquid freight trains.” Over in California, Mavericks serves up monstrous waves that can hit 60 feet, with frigid waters and rocky bottoms waiting to greet you if you wipe out. Pipeline in Hawaii might look like a dream, but its fast, barreling waves break over sharp coral reefs, making it one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world. And let’s not forget the Pororoca in the Amazon—a tidal wave that rips through rivers for miles, dragging along debris like logs and crocodiles. 🌪️ Surfing these spots isn’t just about skill—it’s about facing nature’s raw power and hoping it lets you walk away unscathed! 🏄‍♂️

Some french surfers and a bunch of dolphins are enjoying the sunset in San Diego Beach.

As usual on my channel, I don’t edit to much the footage to let the shot last as long as they can and make the video as relaxing as possible…

You can also enjoy the SOUND as a stand alone relaxing project.
