Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Marty Paradisis, Matt Bromley, Riley Laing and Ian Walsh talk about the swell of the century at Nias.

A River begins to breach a steep sand berm and the flowing water carves a canyon on the beach. A very rare occurrence to witness! It is very easy to underestimate the power of flowing water. Many of the people riding these river waves are very experienced and know how to exit the river safely.

Big Thanks to @Jamie O’Brien for showing us the ropes of the Waimea River. Be sure to check out his channel for his river edit soon!

Tahiti (English: /təˈhiːti/; Tahitian [taˈhiti];[2] French pronunciation: ​[ta.i.ti]; previously also known as Otaheite) is the largest island of the Windward group of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. It is located in the central part of the Pacific Ocean, with the nearest major landmass being Australia.[3][4] Divided into two parts, Tahiti Nui (bigger, northwestern part) and Tahiti Iti (smaller, southeastern part), the island was formed from volcanic activity; it is high and mountainous with surrounding coral reefs. Its population is 189,517 inhabitants (2017 census),[1] making it the most populous island of French Polynesia and accounting for 68.7% of its total population.

Teahupoʻo (Tahitian pronunciation: [te.a.hu.ˈpo.ʔo])[1] is a village on the southwestern coast of the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the southern Pacific Ocean.[2]

It is known for the surf break and heavy, glassy waves offshore, often reaching 2 to 3 m (6.6 to 9.8 ft), and sometimes up to 7 meters (23 feet). It is the site of the annual Billabong Pro Tahiti surf competition, part of the World Championship Tour (WCT) of the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour surfing circuit and used to be one stop in the World Tour of the International Bodyboarding Association.[3] Bodyboarding pioneers Mike Stewart and Ben Severson were the first to surf Teahupo’o in 1986 and it soon became an underground spot for thrill-seeking bodyboarders. Few professional surfers rode Teahupo’o during the early 1990s and it was only in 1998, at the Gotcha Tahiti Pro, that Teahupo’o became widely recognized as having some of the heaviest waves in the world. On August 17, 2000 Laird Hamilton is credited with surfing the “heaviest wave” ever ridden,[2] documented in the film Riding Giants. In 2003 the late Malik Joyeux successfully rode one of the largest waves ever ridden.

Nathan Florence, younger brother of two-time World Surf League champion John John Florence, caught in May 2015 what some have considered to have been the biggest wave ever successfully paddled in Teahupo’o.[4] Keala Kennelly was the first woman to tow-surf Teahupo’o in May 2005, getting a 10-foot barrel ahead of the Billabong Tahiti Pro contest.[5] This challenging break has been conquered by many top windsurfers, including Jason Polakow, Ali Neil and Levi Siver. Yannick Salmon was the first kitesurfer to ride Teahupo’o; however, it was incorrectly written in publications that others had ridden it before him. Jeremie Eloy and Julien Sudrat kitesurfed the wave after Yannick

biggest wave ever surfed

This is the biggest wave ever surfed. It was so big, in fact, that our brave surfer almost got sucked into the abyss.

But despite the danger, he paddled out and caught this behemoth of a wave. Watch his amazing feat here!

Watch as surfer Antonio Laureano rides what is being called the biggest wave ever surfed. This massive wave was ridden at Nazaré in Portugal, and it’s a sight to behold!
