The waves in portugal are massive. Even the small ones are like 2 meters. Im from there and those waves can mess you up.

Glitch - 6 years ago

The first time he broke the record, it was an estimated 78ft wave (2011). Then in 2013 he broke it again with an estimated 100 ft ride (peak of the wave was roughly 16 times the height of McNamara) which is still the current world record. That's how they estimate the wave height. There's no other tool out there that does it despite the b.s measuring tool in the vid. I love how douche bags like the poster of this vid add more height (aka...lies) to it every year. Lol@111 ft wave. What a fuck nut. Not only is that a complete fabrication, but it's not even a coherent one. What the fuck measuring stick determines that extra 12" between a 110ft wave and a 111 ft wave? Jack ass. Next year it'll be a 133ft wave.

Hawaii is for pussys ,THIS is the real shit .......XDXDXD

Novusod - 6 years ago

Hawaiians weren't the only surfers. Tahiti and other Polynesian island cultures all developed some form of surfing. The early British and French explorers were uninterested in learning how to surf like the natives. The Europeans looked down on surfing as some kind of primitive monkey behavior akin to climbing trees. Hawaii on the other hand became an America possession and unlike the stuffy Europeans the Americans embraced suffering and brought the surfing culture back to to California. Only after Americans made surfing "cool" through music and Hollywood movies did surfing go mainstream on a global scale.

dunnamang - 6 years ago

All solid points. I've seen Pipeline in person (lived in Hawaii for a year) and it's vicious. Reef breaks with deep caverns and a pretty heavy wave. Waimea Bay is pretty gnarly, too.

Jules canidoit - 6 years ago

dunnamang chances are pretty high. There are so many people who surf pipe. Yr bound to have fatalities. Every big wave has its risks. This statement is stupid and prob made by someone who dosnt surf or never surfed big waves. Nazare compliments the surfing world and its the tallest wave in the world. I think its great.

I wonder how much of the waves are the more recent riders surfing...im not a surfer and no way could I ever do big wave surfing, but I see them riding like half of the waves when they are towed in...but I think Greg Noll and others like him had a real hard time having to paddle into the waves they were riding...maybe that wave no one filmed or photographed of greg noll was the best ride ever.

djay doom - 10 years ago

While watching I thought about how while snowboarding you are propelling down snow covered upward upheavals; the mountain ranges. These "BIG" waves are caused most of the time by having these same mountains, ridges, reefs, and underwater geography, etc. underneath the water causing 100 foot walls of waves traveling 45-55 mph that we propel down . A few off the top of my head Mavericks, Teahupoo, Dungeons, Pipeline, Shark Island, . I'm a Native NYC surfer/ bodyboarder, and Montauk Point Long Island NY has very interesting underwater geography, and the continental shelf at certain spots, and times of the year makes it perfect for bodyboarding; it's a point break-mostly lefts.,extremely shallow,seen the sandy, rock filled bottom riding on a 15 ft shore break once-rash is an understatement!! Largest ever in Montauk was 20-25 foot during a nor'easter. The fear factor keeps it relatively light on the crowds when its double overhead or more (mostly during the winter months except for the occasional perfect storm-Hurricanes and Tropical Storms during the late summer months..
Rockaway is now filled with hipsters/ surfers , and allot of novices from Williamsburg Brooklyn and the City which kinda sucks for surfing in peace.!! However it gentrified a hood which was formerly crack and poverty filled slums into a mixture of local old school Irish Italians, Latino and Black, Jewish also-a melting pot for sure; and the 30 somethings like me-Gen X. Sandy however, damn it's damage on epic proportions-and i'm not easily impressed. Sad, and close to home. However, Far Rockaway 90th Street, 83rd, Lincoln is a tight community, and are rebuilding. Spike Lee is an opponent to the economic effects of gentrification. I understand that many people rent, and rent goes up-but don't tell me that Spike from somewhere in Westchester or Connecticut, or a loft, and a duplex in Manhattan. He doesn't like lower crime, an explosion of new businesses and stores that yes sell bubble tea, and korean BBQ=), House value increases, and at the core, a safer and aesthetically pleasing environment. This makes the local schools better, bc the key to getting people to listen is SES and the access to knowledge. The alternative is people take the train; surfing for the day with an A-k, and leave.

Mario Silva - 10 years ago

Rodney Haltom - 10 years ago

...the angle of the photo is causing it to look bigger than it is. that wave is only about 60 feet! Half of what is shown to be the wave is actually only the trough or flat ocean, that appears to be the wave, but isn't. ...take the same photo from ground or sea level, and you will see what I am talking about. It will have a totally different size than what is portrayed here. it is a big wave for sure but no where near 100 feet…sorry.

Misha Bejar - 7 years ago

Rodney Haltom word! totally agree

abeirabaixa - 8 years ago

+Rodney Haltom The "angle theory" at Nazaré is itself overestimated... Unfortunately, there are a lack of photos from sea level. But there's a good exemple... Google "steudtner 2015 xxl" and watch the 2015 winner ride, both on vídeo and sea level photo. And tell me which one looks bigger.

Billy frye - 9 years ago

+Alex Harrison regardless, this can still kill you faster than you can blink .

Alex Harrison - 9 years ago

I think we need to stop obsessing about the precise height of a wave in feet. Waves are notoriously hard to measure because, as you said, they're not a vertical face but an upslope. Size is a poor predictor of the power of a wave, as evidenced by the freak of hydrodynamics that is Teahupoo. Tahiti might be half the size of these, but they're twice as powerful, five times more destructive and twenty times scarier. Massive props to McNamara though for taming this monster, regardless of exactly how big it is.

abeirabaixa - 9 years ago

Most of the times, the Nazare waves are extremelly thick, hill-like, and that makes the wave look smaller than it really is. If we could cut the wave vertically from top to bottom it would look much higher.
There are some measurements made by the portuguese navy using GPS tech (only for the last decade) and the record is for now assumed to be about 44m (132ft)... This record wave was not surfed... :/

Georgiy Potulov - 9 years ago

Yea I totally agree.. its about 9 times his height.. At most this wave is 70 feet, but nothing above that.

Chika - 10 years ago

Rodney Haltom - 10 years ago

it's actually 78ft as the official record.i just came from nazare and toured the area myself including the lighthouse rooftop seen in the picture.i also took a pic by the surfboard which is on display.beautiful place!

What would you do if you crash in the middle of that wave? would you swim downwards, or just try to hold your breath? How would you get out, swim towards the shore? Would the weight of the water be so heavy that you would get beaten to death?

Brian Hackert - 7 years ago

"What would you do if you crash in the middle of that wave?" here is the answer: best case, break your L2 vertebrae. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5065249/British-surf-champion-breaks-wipeout-Portugal.html

Keith Patrick - 10 years ago

If you fell in the middle there would be no swimming downwards, I can almost guarantee it. You would just be crushed with the most powerful thing one has ever felt, and all you can do is hold your breath (for a long time, mind you) and wait it out in hopes that you make it to the surface, and that there is a jet ski waiting for you when you get there. This is truly terrifying to watch.

123TauruZ321 - 10 years ago

+panda44r Why can't everyone be as thorough and calculating in their writing as you are ^_^ Thanks for the perfect answer, i appreciate it.

panda44r - 10 years ago

+123TauruZ321 Water weighs 64 pounds per cubic foot.
How many cubic feet of water is in a 111 foot wave?
Now multiply that by 64, and you have the weight.
Even if it was "only" 1000 cubic feet of water (and it is MUCH more than that), multiplied by 64 pounds for each square foot of water (64,000 pounds), it would be like having 32 tons fall on you.
Now, i'd say, just from rough calculations, that there are about 400,000 cubic feet of water in the part of the wave that is breaking over the top, multiplied by 64 pounds per cubic foot, and you have about 26,000,000 pounds of water crashing over the top.
Yup,..you're toast if you wipeout in the curl, or have the curl's weight break on top of you. But at least you'd know how it feels to be a sock in a washing machine.
:o)

123TauruZ321 - 10 years ago

Thanks for clarifying that, i thought that it could be a way out but i guess not.

Scott Ryan - 10 years ago

You wouldnt survive that, you would be crushed instatntly. No breath. No swimming. Dead. This is why its so dangerous

mmojorissen - 10 years ago

This man is obviously on a first-name-basis with Mother Nature!!! There can be no criticism of a man who owns a pair of Jupiter-Sized Balls!!!!! A man who surfs waves of such magnitude can have all the skill and talent in the world… but without GALAXY-SIZED BALLS AND COMPLETE FEARLESSNESS, he's doomed!!!!

+MrCWillar Não será bem assim... Segundo o "Instituto Hidrográfico" da Marinha portuguesa, após mais de 10 anos de recolha de dados no mar da Nazaré, as ondas da Praia do Norte podem ultrapassar os 30 metros. Aliás, já registaram uma ondulação de 22 metros num local ao largo da Nazaré onde as ondas têm apenas metade da altura das da Praia da Norte.

Hey "visionCaribe." 60 feet? Wrong. Go to :40. See that little dot in the middle of the wave? That guy is 6 feet tall. If you stacked ten of him on top of each other, it might reach the top of the wave. Right? THAT is 60 feet, and that's only half of that wave. That wave is easily over 100 feet high.
