After the images of the biggest wave ever surfed in Praia do Norte, Nazaré, have run the world, the Red Bull Mito promises to make a stand on surfing giant waves. Axi Muniain was one of the participants and wasted no time feeling the force of the cannon in Nazaré.

The competition was in the waiting period at the end of last year but did not happen due to lack of ideal conditions. The water safety will be managed by Hawaiian Garrett McNamara.

Hong Kong issued a number 8 typhoon warning, the third highest, early on Friday morning (October 21) with the approach of Typhoon Haima.

Hong Kong shut all but essential services and the government also advised people to stay inside and away from the sea.

However, this was the signal some surfers were dreaming of.

Dozens of thrill-seekers ran into the sea at Sheko beach to take advantage of unusually large waves.

“I think Hong Kong is very conservative so you get a warning like quite often. So it’s quite windy but it’s not as bad as they say it’s going to be. There’s not very often there’s surf in Hong Kong so take what you can get,” said project manager, Brendan Beni.

He said that he and his friends had hailed an Uber to get to Sheko as all taxis and buses weren’t running to the remote fishing village on the southern part of Hong Kong island.

Economist Simon Quail said waves in Bali and Taiwan are bigger even without a typhoon approaching, but admitted the conditions were not for beginners.

“Yeah I know, but if people who don’t know how to swim and stuff they will get into a lot of trouble, but if you’ve surfed in places with big waves, it’s not that bad,” he said.

The Home Affairs Department issues a statement saying 59 people had sought refuge at its various temporary shelters while there were reports of 23 fallen trees.

The Hong Kong Airport Authority said that a total of 689 passenger flights had been cancelled and delayed at 6:30 a.m. local time (2230 GMT on Thursday, October 20).

Big Wave Surfing world record

Garrett McNamara: World’s Biggest Wave Off the Coast of Portugal 2013
The Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara is said to have broken his own world record for the largest wave surfed when he caught a wave reported to be around 100ft off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. If the claims are verified, it will mean that McNamara, who was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts but whose family moved to Hawaii’s North Shore when he was aged 11, has beaten his previous record, which was also set at Nazaré.

When McNamara set that record in 2011, he was accompanied by fellow big-wave surfers Andrew Cotton and Alastair Mennie and at the time Mennie said that the conditions were “perfect” for McNamara whom he described as “inspiring”.

“Everything was perfect, the weather, the waves,” Mennie said. “Cotty and I surfed two big waves of about 60ft and then, when Garrett was ready came a canyon wave of over 90ft. The jet ski was the best place to see him riding the biggest wave I’ve ever seen. It was amazing. Most people would be scared but Garrett was controlling everything in the critical part of the wave. It was an inspiring ride by an inspiring surfer.”

Speaking to the Observer in 2011 after his record-setting 90ft ride, McNamara explained: “We’d been invited by the government of Portugal to Nazaré to investigate it for a big wave competition. There is an underwater canyon 1,000ft deep that runs from the ocean right up to the cliffs. It’s like a funnel. At its ocean end it’s three miles wide but narrows as it gets closer to the shore and when there is a big swell it acts like an amplifier.

“The harbour where the jetskis are kept is about five minutes’ ride away. I can see it from my hotel window. You go out and it can be almost flat as you leave and ride along the coast. You start seeing the waves after about half a mile when you pass some rocks and turn a point. Then you are in the break. It’s unique. The waves break into cliffs 300ft in height. You can’t contemplate coming off because it would kill you.”

Living in the South West of France as a 10 year old grom can not be any better if you love surfing. Hugo has been shredding around the globe this past year in his new edit “Tien – Dix”, which means ten in both Dutch and French.
