The biggest wave ever surfed

Brave or reckless? A group of thrill-seeking surfers plunged into raging waters during one of the biggest storms to hit Europe in recent times — one of them thinks he might have broken the record for riding the biggest wave, while another is recovering in hospital after taking “the hardest beating by man or woman anywhere in the ocean.”

Praia do Norte, at the Portuguese town of Nazare, is renowned for its huge swells — and Monday brought more with the weather that caused havoc across the continent, killing at least 13 people.

Carlos Burle caught one of these, estimated to be around 100 feet high, not long after helping to haul his fellow Brazilian Maya Gabeira out of the pummeling surf after she was knocked unconscious.

Gabeira, one of the world’s leading female big-wave surfers, was taken to hospital and escaped with just a broken ankle, while Burle is hoping to have his feat ratified as a Guinness World Record.

Biggest Wave ever surfed – Nazaré (Garret McNamara) – World Record

Off the coast of Nazare, 70 miles north of Lisbon, Portugal. Garrett McNamara rides what members belonging to his group claimed was the biggest wave ever successfully negotiated during a “tow-surfing” session. Nazare is a small fishing town 70 miles north of Lisbon, Portugal. The wave face measured about 90 feet, according to a news release announcing the feat.
McNamara, a known big-wave surfing guy from Hawaii, was riding large waves with Andrew Cotton and Al Mennie when 3 huge waves appeared on the outside. Cotton used a personal watercraft to tow McNamara onto the massive shoulder of one of those rogue waves.
