Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

This category needs no explanation. This week we look back at the most colossal swells from Nazaré, Jaws, and beyond to honor the mad men and women crazy (and talented) enough to tame them. Will a wave from this season set a new Guinness World Record? The cbdMD XXL Biggest Wave Awards go to the male and female surfers who, by any means available, catch and ride the biggest wave of the year.
