Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

“As Seen on Time Magazine, National Geographic and the Daily Mail”

Remarkable footage of two surfers simultaneously riding a giant wave during the first big swell of the winter season in Nazaré, Portugal.

The video, captured by Portuguese videographer Pedro Miranda on October 21 off Praia do Norte, shows Brazilians Carlos Burle and Rodrigo Koxa performing a rare “double ride” on a gigantic wave.

”During the session, which was stormy and uncommonly dangerous, the Brazilian surfers had the chance to do something that doesn’t happen very often, especially in Nazaré: to share one of the biggest waves of the day,” the filmer later wrote online.

”Carlos Burle, caught the wave first, and Rodrigo Koxa a few seconds later. They were both fully committed, which means that after realising they were both on the wave, they could not exit it,” he added, describing their accidental “double ride” of the same enormous wave.

Praia do Norte beach, near the fishing village of Nazaré, has become famous for huge waves since Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara set a then record in 2011 for the largest wave ever surfed when he rode a 78-foot wave.

The surfboard is both a piece of sports equipment and a work of art. It is a marvel of engineering and for some, a path to fame and celebrity. It exudes both power and grace; it allows its rider to soar through the air or penetrate the watery depths. Centuries ago, early Polynesians considered the surfboard a religious icon, a means of worshipping the ocean. Today it is a cultural icon, a means of worshipping not simply the ocean but also those who seek to master its powerful and unpredictable forces. In 365 Surfboards, surfing expert and writer Ben Marcus brings together the most important, most interesting, and most innovative surfboards the world has ever known. From 12-foot-long koa boards of ancient Hawai’i to state-of-the-art modern boards utilizing streamlined design for maximum speed and maneuverability, the surfboard has undergone numerous revolutions and advancements through the years. Pioneering riders and shapers—from Duke Kahanamoku and Tom Blake, to Greg Noll and Hobie Alter, to Kelly Slater and Al Merrick—have brought their own personal touches and insights to continually refine and redefine the ultimate tool for riding the waves. Each of the 365 boards featured here are presented through color images and in-depth descriptions to offer a compelling and comprehensive history of the surfboard and the people, moments, and innovations that have revolutionized the sport.
