Garrett McNamara is being credited with what is reportedly “the biggest wave ever ridden” at allegedly 90 feet, according to a story on Drift Surfing.
The three were surfing in Praia do Norte off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. McNamara has been spending quite some time here once he discovered the magic of the spot. The coast of Nazaré is home to one of the only deep water canyons that runs all the way to shore. He has been working with the Portuguese Hydrographic Institute to understand how the waves reach such an abnormal height.
While this is obviously a huge wave and McNamara is a charger of amazing prowess we do have one question: how much smaller are the rulers used to measure big wave surfing going to get?

Isn’t that the guy Joel Tudor choked out for burning Jesse Billauer at Malibu? BIggest kook in surfing would be a more accurate claim.
