The wave may or may not have been 108 feet. Regardless, that wave at Mavericks that day was rare. Every surfer who finds out about this wishes they rode that wave. Thumbs up for the man who had the privilege of riding that wave.
Most waves come from New Jersey, with a select few being generated online, in a studio in Montclair, Essex county. Before that, they were mostly just hangers on, and spent their summers in Hoboken. You're welcome. 😮😅
8 foot Hawaiian, brah.
Hello, Humans
Most humans struggle in life, because their minds are not strong. Always use those around you, as examples of what not to be. Be strong mentally and everything can be forced into place.
TERRANCE OUT
Vaya con dios 😂
I'm not a surfer but this picture gives me the chills. This guy is lucky to be alive. Amazing.
Totally tubular bro
with all due respect, no fucking way is that the record wave. it's not 108 feet or whatever. if it's deemed to be bigger than those nazare waves the measurement system is a joke
Never knew the bay area could have such big waves. I've see some crazy ones in Portugal. This one is clearly with the top ones.
Climate change is predicted to cause unprecedented suffering and political strife. And then there is this guy
Humunga-Dunga
Doesn’t look 108’ but who knows. Glad he’s stoked.
now this is news
Good stuff brother…
"Live and ride like Jay"
Dealing with the speed of a wave that big is definitely the biggest challenge
This is big but not bigger than Nazare are yall insane😭😭😭😭it's not even close
Surfing history that is and only of import to those interested in that niche activity. A bit different from important historical events.
NO VIDEO…..?!?! Was not 108 ft. Drop in was edge of wave….much smaller. Sick one but NOT biggest wave ever ridden….!!!!! LOL
Another day of thrills for me.
If my child grows up without a father, it's not my problem
Florida man, meet Santa Cruz man.
Point Break 🌊
One with Nature. Far out dude.
Yeee boyyyy 🤙
Wow! That is awesome! Are you brave (for sure) or crazy (probably) or a bit of both?
You’re gonna tell us about the biggest wave surfed and all yall got is still pics? The fuh! Give us the damn video
Yup! Santa Cruz IS the Surfing Capital of the West. Wow! What an astounding image!
Shout out to the construction workers in the US doing big things
