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.

@ravkohn1932 says:

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

I'm not a surfer but this picture gives me the chills. This guy is lucky to be alive. Amazing.

Totally tubular bro

@spojce9 says:

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

@kennguyen1594 says:

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.

@m8trxd says:

Climate change is predicted to cause unprecedented suffering and political strife. And then there is this guy

@LV-bl6jc says:

Humunga-Dunga

@AtortAerials says:

Doesn’t look 108’ but who knows. Glad he’s stoked.

@YouB3anz says:

@cumpian76 says:

Good stuff brother…

@andrewhughes9749 says:

Dealing with the speed of a wave that big is definitely the biggest challenge

@Mylesv2 says:

This is big but not bigger than Nazare are yall insane😭😭😭😭it's not even close

@johnskibajr5691 says:

Surfing history that is and only of import to those interested in that niche activity. A bit different from important historical events.

@Hayden-sp1ol says:

NO VIDEO…..?!?! Was not 108 ft. Drop in was edge of wave….much smaller. Sick one but NOT biggest wave ever ridden….!!!!! LOL

@wagdog2 says:

Another day of thrills for me.

@lushoberg8052 says:

Wow! That is awesome! Are you brave (for sure) or crazy (probably) or a bit of both?

@NostradamusJr says:

@lindabryant4292 says:
