Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

THE BIGGEST, MOST CRITICAL WAVE EVER PADDLED AT NAZARÉ. Native New Yorker Will Skudin and his brother Cliff Skudin took a chance on this late December swell and Nazaré delivered. Garrett McNamara said it best: “Will Skudin on one of the biggest paddle waves I have ever seen, if not the biggest !!! ”
Not only did Will Skudin ride one of the biggest and most critical waves ever paddled into at Nazaré, but he also took one of the gnarliest wipeouts of his life. After surviving the wipeout, Will managed to swim himself to shore. He told us that he was as proud of swimming to shore as he was of catching the wave.
The Skudin brothers personify the spirit of the Red Chargers and this is the payoff.

Sebastian Steudtner broke the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest-ever surfed wave.

On October 29, 2020, the German surfer rode an 86-foot wave (26.21 meters) at Praia do Norte in Nazaré, Portugal.

According to the measurements made by the World Surf League (WSL), Steudtner improved Rodrigo Koxa’s previous world record by six feet (1.83 meters).

On November 8, 2017, the Brazilian had set a new big wave surfing mark at 80 feet (24.38 meters). His achievement remained untouched for nearly five years.

Praia do Norte gets its fifth Guinness World Record for the largest surfing waves after Garrett McNamara (2011), Rodrigo Koxa (2017), and Maya Gabeira (2018 and 2020).

An XL jaws swell came in on January 22nd, 2022. The buoy readings were much larger then thought and the waves were pumping all along the north coast’s of hawaii.
