Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

16 year old Pro surfer Zander Venezia died on Tuesday as he attempted to surf mega-swell waves caused by Hurricane Irma in Barbados. Venezia, who won the top prize at the Rip Curl GromSearch in North Carolina 2 weeks ago, was said to have Olympic aspirations. According to Stab Magazine, the teenager from Bridgetown, Barbados was with friends and photographers hoping to surf a heavy break known as “Box by Box.” Which is when the tragedy occurred. According to witness reports, Venezia was overturned by a closeout set, and likely hit bottom. Surfers who reached him attempted to perform CPR and Zander was eventually rushed to the hospital, where he was breathing, but not responsive. Shortly before his death, Venezia reportedly told friend and fellow surfer Dylan Graves, “I just got the best wave of my life.” Following the news of his death, friends took to social media to mourn the surfer.
