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.

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??
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?
That's a sit ton of water.
Awsome Footage
Nope.

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!
