Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

What’s the biggest wave ever surfed? Imagine a 10-story-high wall of water with a foamy-white peak smashing into the shore. That’s the mental image we all have when we think of tsunamis, but is it accurate? And if it is, why don’t daredevil surfers ride them? That’s a huge wave begging to be caught! Fear of heights? Top speeds? Because they choose life? But they’re supposed to be daredevils!

Seriously, where would anyone get the idea to surf a tsunami? Movies! All those disaster flicks depicting tsunamis as monstrous waves. Realistically, the difference between tsunamis and surfing waves is as ridiculously huge as that movie wave about to take out that skyscraper. You CAN surf on a massive wave. As long as it’s the right kind. And that surfable kind can even be bigger than tsunamis! So, what is the difference between this “right” kind of wave and tsunamis?

The largest wave in the world surfed by a woman – Maya Gabeira World Record 73.5 feet tall

Brazilian daredevil Maya Gabeira rode a 73.5 foot giant at Portugal’s Nazare and overshadowing the top male surfers in the process. Gabeira, who broke her leg and almost drowned at the same spot in 2013, was towed by jetski into her winning wave during a World Surf League (WSL) Big Wave competition in February. It not only topped her 68 foot record from 2018, also at Nazare, but was the biggest wave ridden by any surfer over the last year.
