The feat took place in November 2017 but the wave and surfer are just now being honored by the World Surf League’s Big Wave Awards. Previously, Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara held the record of 78 feet in 2011. The beach, named Praia do Norte, lies close to a fishing village of Nazaré and has become known for some of the largest surfing waves in the world.

Riding a record-breaking wave is an amazing feat! What are your thoughts on the surfers who are up for this challenge?
That bird's eye view must have been something
THE WAVE BEHIND HIM IS THE 100 FOOTER HE WANTED. WHAT A BARNEY.
beat Gmacs 78 footer. WoW.
Scary wave or scary wife ^0^
It's like a tsunami.!!😫😫
Was in 2017
Posted on 2018
Big wave surfers are a small, intense group of elite athletes. Amazing! (Although I prefer the purity of paddle-in vs tow-in surfing.)
Koxa's wave 24.38 meters, Garrett's wave 23.77 meters. (Because is hard to put it in the video)
How daring men are they,, is there any woman who can do this??
Surfers are crazy people. They live for waves like this & would be more than happy to die trying to surf them. This was awesome but stupid.
I say if it's a tow in that's not official. It should be largest towed in surfer
What a wave.
How do they measure it?
Point Break Bodhi
That's a sit ton of water.
Awsome Footage
Anyone else remember that pokemon episode?
Next time put the text on the other side so It doesn’t cover up the wave you goofs.
Portuguese wave yes
😍👍🏽🌿🏊🏽🇺🇸🇨🇺
Don’t fool around with these powerful waves 🌊 if you are not a professional surfer 🏄.It would knock you down and drown you in no time at all…
yo, fo' real.
That's crazy!
Any big sharks around
What do you mean? Those waves are clearly tiny? Don't you see those normal sized humans in the foreground? That's just a bunch of mini-humans riding normal size waves! C'mon NatGeo, you can't fool us! :p
This is so crazy! Hats off to the guy for having the guts to give it a go!
Isn't this technically a tsunami?
I spent all the time looking at the seagull thinking he was the surfer
Portugal 😎😏
Not sure how this got credit as the largest wave surfed. There's video of a 100 foot wave being surfed from Nazare too. Still awesome and impressive, but this is not the largest wave surfed at Nazare.
