I think the thing that scares me the most is the commitment needed to surf a wave this big, that split second when it's like, 'Theres no backing out now'
Rawdie Chadwick might help you get air, if there isn’t 1-2 ft of foam on top of the water when you go to take a breath. Then once you’ve pulled it there’s also the danger that you can’t swim under, which means you’re going to be taking 50+ ft waves straight on the head.
Unbelievable when I was a kid I used to watch magazines and I couldn't belived and after many years I am surprise every time that I watch videos like yours.

I was surfing Naz in the winter of 07, finally the really big stuff started blowin in, monsters so big that even the big boys didn't go out. I talked my mate Brian into working the jet ski that day, he said I was crazy. We hooked up on what turned out to be the f ing Godzilla of waves, most likely over 100' of crushing death. I was scared but I committed, the speed was like nothing I've ever experienced, I was carving the water almost as fast as my heart was beating, but then I saw the shadow of it coming down from behind me, I was going to hammered. Suddenly all went white and blue, I felt the flood of warm water on my waist...wait, warm water? It was then that I woke up from my dream, oh no, that warm water I'm wet with didn't come from no damn ocean water.
I wonder if he truly understood the gravity of the situation and truly realized thesignificance of what he had just accomplished in that moment, as far as planet Earth goes.
The largest waves ever surfed are the ones not captured on film. Trust me, once upon a time, there was a samoan on a long board. Shredding a 150 footer... this skill has been passed down generations from the golden days..
Literally a drop in the ocean. I can tell you the height of the wave, it's basic maths you just measure the length of the great white chasing him and multiply it. What's the difference between a surfer and a bale of hay?
I still quite remember that when i was a kid, i remember seeing in a TV idk if its a movie where there are high waves and there are lot of people floating ang surfing

If that amount of water drops over you, you would easily break several bones
It's amazing that he can float with those balls of steel
This is my favorite online comment of all time!
This comment deserves so much recognition
@@niya4981 yes I agree
Buoys
😂😂😂
Shoutout to the guy on the jetski that went with him 👏🔥
Andrew Cotton took him out to that wave

Why you do it
May God forbid that Amen
@@bradocoleman We can pray too :)

@@JJLemon17 Ikr lol

How exactly do you measure that?
Edvin Alcantara with a buoy or a depth camera
With a big ruler
Jon W yes
Edvin Alcantara the lady swims out and puts a tape measure against the wave
Idk
title: Largest wave surfed
Me: yo that's a tsunami
Haahah
That legit looked like a mountain crumbling and falling onto him in that view from the board. Crazy
Dude...the balls on this cat. I don't understand how one can even stay balanced after that wave breaks on you
You gotta look closer n figure it out
The ocean is so beautiful but terrifying at the same time

omg ngl u had me in the first half😂😂
The amount of anxiety watching this gave me.. yeah I’ll leave surfing to the professionals
This is like every wave in spongebob
"Those aren't mountains,They are waves."
-INTERSTELLAR
Big ups for the cameraman who shots the surfer from the board
He was no longer surfer for fun he was surfing to survive.
This mans grand son is one of my best friends. His grandson is a great skater
RAY MAN ya I know him too he’s my uncle
wave after wave slowly drifting
drifting away
Pulling against the stream
Pulling against the wave
Boop boop, boop boop, boop boop, boop boop feels like I'm drowning pulling against the stream slowly driftin'
Point Break?
Diablo Larva Johnny Utah!
Lol watching johnny utah rt now actually
He is performing the ozaki 8
Portugal 😍
Please say no homo
Him: rides A. FREAKIN TSUNAMI
Me: MOMMY IF I PUT MY LEG IN THE POOL SHARKS WILL EAT ME!
Legit not funny
😂lol my brother would be like that 😂☠️
I did the wave once when I went to a baseball game. 🤣😂
Josue Martinez no you didn’t
That’s funny
That’s got to be the best pirate if ever seen
Just imagine getting ran over by that wave
It's like getting run over a 10 wheeler 5 3 times
This GUY HAS BALLS OF STEEL full respect sir!
No one:
Genius World Record: Garret surfed 78-feet wave
Me: can’t even boogie a 1 meter wave
this is a suicidal record but damn give this guy an oscar for pulling this off
This surfer is so fearless
That is massive
One small question, when are you going to put the Benjamin Sanchis's record for the largest wave surfed at 108 feet (33meters)?
this is absolutely incredible, im Portuguese as well , so nice to see talent like this. :)))
That’s so insane that people do this . I’m terrified of the ocean . Especially waves like this
Bro surfed a mini tsunamis
That looks absolutely awesome
Benjamin Sanchis: 108 Ft. - 33M. (2014) | and Hugo Vau: 114 Ft. - 35 M. (2017)
Benjamin Sanchis -> biggest whipeout; Hugo Vau (2018)
I really don’t care about the surfing but am amazed by the size of the wave 🌊
Yeah Portugal got really big waves.
THAT IS AN 80 FOOT WAVE
*Presses NOPE button*
Wow this is unbelievable jeff
Congrats! That was great courage to risk your life.
If he falls, GG
I'm just glad that guy's alive
That was me. I was the surfer in this video. Hold your applause.
It says 78 feet but McNamara surfed 113...
I felt the excitement of riding that wave, when in reality I’m wave hopping at the local beach.
Am the record for a person surfing a wave was like 100-108FT
Portugal
I wonder if he truly understood the gravity of the situation and truly realized thesignificance of what he had just accomplished in that moment, as far as planet Earth goes.
Okay- but once as a child I stood up on my super cool blue foam board 😎
ngl this is terrifying props to him
I surfed a 2 foot wave so I know that great feeling!
this guy is master
y’all forget about the Florida man
I love how guiness add drum sound effect 😂
How do you measure a wave with such accuracy?
Looked like a water avalanche
Wow amazing
Anyone else come from the tsunami video when they read that one comment
Actually yes
they must have used a big ruler to measure that one
He looks all robot...Im glad to see the ones I see now put their entire spirit into it and are completely fluid. ..
thats a mighty fine surfer
The largest waves ever surfed are the ones not captured on film. Trust me, once upon a time, there was a samoan on a long board. Shredding a 150 footer... this skill has been passed down generations from the golden days..
In order for something to be a "record", it needs to..uhh...be recorded.
@lmoral222 he never said anything about "records" or being "recorded". Also , logically he is almost certainly correct in his statement.
how fast the guy on the jetski left is hilarious
wow. some people are so brave and amazing.
the speed of the guy on the jet ski tho is on another level
Bro surfed a frickin tsunami
If that was me all Sharks in the Ocean would be heading for that spot because of the fear they would smell.
Sharks can smell blood, but a vet once told me that they can't smell fear, so you're good.
how about a thumbs up for the jet ski driver. could you imagine hitting one of those swells going about 50mph? you'd need a parachute.
Me who can barely stand when a two foot tall wave hits me: 👁👄👁
I must say that you are beautiful, I am captivated by your rare beauty, leave me a message.
lol i was listening to interstellar song waves while watching this XD
Don’t do that without lifeguards watching, with rescue supplies.
What!? That must be over 100 Courics!
Lol
he is shredding the gnar
This is soo satifyng

Probably "Endless Summer" by Bruce Brown?
All I can say is wow
That’s cool and terrifying
"He wasn't afraid to live.... He wasn't afraid to die" If you know you know
Going with the flow, bro.
What a legend
POV:you saw a tiktok about the biggest waves and search up the biggest wave ever surfed to see how big it really was
I was impressed with the dude on the jet ski, let alone the surfer!
Guinness disqualified my attempt at surfing the largest wave because I licked my lips dropping in.
now thats a guinnes world record.
Shut your filthy mouth or I'll smack you
Wow.
Surging I'd basically skateboarding on water then 😂
Pick a number between 1 and 10 add 50 take away ur number its 50
The Giant waves of Nazaré Beach, Nazaré, P❤️rtugal 🇵🇹 👌
As maiores do mundo
Bodie called it
How big was it
00:42
Oh my goodness😮
And I can't go in the ocean if the waves are higher than my knee...
*Aussie accent* "Thawts noot a waive, thaht's a waive"
That aint a wave thats a ✨ tsunami✨

Tsunami
Woman: “Ehaaa!” “Eehaaaaa!!”
