“If you take Jaws, Puerto Escondido and Waimea shorebreak and put them all on steroids… you get Nazaré.” – Garrett McNamara
WaveJet athlete and big wave world record breaker, Garrett McNamara (HAW), sits down with The Surf Channel Television Network to explain the monster waves that Portugal’s Nazaré creates, including his scrutinized 100ft wave caught in January of 2013. McNamara has been surfing since his family moved to Hawai’i in 1978, growing up with talented brother and athlete, Liam McNamara. During the winter of 2002-03, McNamara won the Tow Surfing World Cup at Jaws in 70ft conditions. The Hawaiian big wave charger went on to catch a record breaking 75 – 90ft wave at Nazaré in 2011, then ventured back in January 2013 and caught another massive wave with a possible height of 100ft.

On a longliner I was working on we got stuck in a storm 600nm off southern Australia. The swells were way over 100ft. We were in the same area just steaming into it for 4 days.
Windows all boarded up, in dry suits the whole time. The hull cracked in 3 sections. All bilge pumps plus backups were on permanently. We didn’t call in a mayday but coastguard was checking in with us hourly round the clock. I think if it had been an older boat I wouldn’t be here today. I’ve been in some hairy situations but that time I didn’t think we were coming home.
Doesn’t look 100ft, maybe 70
Here from Shawn Ryan show tryna see what surfing a 100ft wave looks like
This will my first Wave. Go Big or Go home!
what's the song name?
One dream of mine is to surf a big wave. I don't know how big, the size doesn't deter me. Problem is I've NEVER surfed 🙁
what’s the riff in the background ?
brave hearts one can learn a lot with the Ocean
So who rode the biggest wave? Garret or sabatian?
Encore une grosse glaire qui se prend pour un surfeur,qui est obligé d'être tiré par un jet-ski pour prendre les vagues, comme ça ma grand mère aussi peut surfer n'importe où et même des vagues encore plus grosses.le pire c'est qu'ils n'ont pas honte d'être filmé
Wasnt even 80 but crazy wave nonetheless

Garett Mac Namara, Nazaré , Portugal, 2013.
Amazing 🤩! The men and women who have the skills to master these waves are a small select group of people. ❤
This wave was actually only 78 feet. Not 100’.
That's a tsunami 😅
What time if the year is the best for those waves pls?
Cool but I’m tryna figure out the largest recorded ever not the largest surfed
Just amazing to ride a wave like this.
Who here after German dude broke it
He is the Best! 😍👍💚
Crikey mates the waves are bigger at Bells Beach and the Aussie gals are hotter!!!
Is not a tsunami?
I don’t understand how they can surf with bowling balls between their legs
