In November 2011, surfer Garrett McNamara, who resides in Hawai’i, surfed a record-breaking giant wave: 78 feet (23.8 m) from trough to crest, at Nazaré. On 28 January 2013, McNamara returned to the spot and successfully surfed a wave that appeared even larger, but is awaiting an official measurement. Then, on October 28, 2013, Carlos Burle surfed another wave that is currently being scrutinized as possibly the largest wave ever ridden. On that same day, female big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira experienced a near-death wipeout, but was rescued after losing consciousness. Such very high breaking waves form due to the presence of the underwater Nazaré Canyon. The canyon creates constructive interference between incoming swell waves which tends to make the waves much larger. In August 2012, a freak wave killed a 5 year old British girl and her grandfather walking along Salgado Beach.

Big wave surfing is the ultimate celebration of extreme surfing. Challenging deadly waves in harsh weather and ocean conditions takes a very serious approach.
Big wave surfers are not interested in performance. Forget perfect cutbacks, stunning floaters or breathless aerial antics. The profile of a big wave rider is the result of several unparalleled personal characteristics.

Fear is always present in a 50-foot wave. Fear is the best way of managing the risk of paddling for a huge wave face, which doesn’t tell you what is going to happen and how it is going to break.

Monster waves tend to move quickly and force surfers to get away of the powerful whitewater. Big waves are lethal even for the most experienced extreme riders. The best big wave surf spots in the world have claimed several lives in the last decades.

Malik Joyeux, Sion Milosky, Moto Watanabe, Mark Foo, Donnie Solomon, Todd Chesser, Dickie Cross and Peter Davi have passed away in extreme surfing conditions. Wipeouts, severe coral reef injuries and drowning are the most common causes of death in big wave surfing.

The pioneers of big wave surfing started to eye impossible killer rides in the 1940’s. In the 1960’s, waves like Pipeline and Waimea increased the popularity of paddling into new wave heights. Going over the falls was the daily menu.

Laird Hamilton is the first professional big wave surfer. The waterman from Maui defies fast, hollow and high waves with a full-time training and previous preparation. Hamilton, the father of tow-in surfing, takes on the entire big wave spots of the Hawaiian Islands, in helicopter style.

Laird was born with the gene of defying danger. He designs and prepares his own surfboards and wetsuits. Wherever heavy waves break, Hamilton is there to ride them: Mavericks, Cortes Bank, Dungeons.

In 2000, Laird Hamilton surfs what is considered the heaviest wave of all time. The “Millennium Wave” was ridden in the reef of Teahupoo, in Tahiti, and set a new standard for big wave surfing.

Garrett McNamara is one of the toughest big wave challengers. After riding a spectacular 78-foot wave in Nazaré, Portugal, the Hawaiian waterman entered the Guinness World Records with the biggest wave ever surfed.

If you are active on social media, no doubt you have encountered the mannequin challenge that is spreading like wildfire. The challenge started at a high school where teens froze in various scenes throughout school growns and now the challenge has spread to being taken on by everyone from Sir Paul McCartney, to Beyonce, to Blac Chyna mid labor. And for whatever reason an ongoing theme throughout many of the challenges is the use of Rae Sremmurd’s hit anthem, “Black Beatles.”
Which brings me to our first favorite on the list that features Paul McCartney posed at a piano. He posted his video on social media with the caption – “Love those Black Beatles #MannequinChallenge.”
When one of the actual Beatles gives a shout out to your song that references the Beatles, it’s a good day.
Next up is Adele who pulled off the challenge flawlessly at a saloon.
Next up is Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors who teamed up with his wife, Ayesha Curry for the challenge that involved an entire restaurant! Check it out:
It’s actually really eerie if you imagine it happening in real life. Like imagine being the only person in real time while the rest of the world is frozen. Yeah no thanks.
James Corden and the entire staff at the Late Late Show also teamed up for the challenge while giving a behind the scenes tour of the studio.
Then my girl Beyonce reunited with Destiny’s Child for a simple execution of the mannequin challenge, but when is it not awesome to see these three together.
I just want to be invited to the party. Just once. These next two may not be celebrity filled but they had to go on our list because the difficulty in this next one is off the charts.
I hold a split for two seconds and start shaking. That was some next level agility. And if you thought that was impressive check out this next one posted by Zach King where they are literally defying the laws of gravity.
How? I’m loving the levels of commitment. And speaking of commitment, I have a lot of favorites but the fact that Blac Chyna and the Kardashians did the challange during Chyna’s labor is the comedic relief I need in my life right now.
I’m assuming it was after she had the baby because if they actually paused mid birth…no. And you know I have to close it with my other favorite which features us right here at Clevver encouraging people to vote. Check it out:
