In November 2011 at Nazaré, Portugal, extreme waterman and ocean explorer Garrett McNamara managed to surf a mammoth 78-foot wave - the largest ever recorded ride in history. Since taking the official Guinness World Records title for Largest wave surfed (unlimited), Garrett has had to battle back from a near-fatal 50-foot wipeout which left him seriously injured.

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'
No reply’s ?
He should _also_ win the records for the biggest balls and luckiest man alive!
Luckiest man alive? Why? If you fall he isn't dead my G
swag xbl exactly they wear gas life vests that shoot up to the surface when pulled
@@rawdiechadwick5780 true
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.
If that amount of water drops over you, you would easily break several bones
I'll have you know I surfed larger waves in Club Penguin.
I surfed a larger wave in my dreams!
D. Cortens I
D. Cortens rip
SavagePurpleGirl :3 haha

You cant watch magazines
@@JJLemon17 Ikr lol

@@JJLemon17 try flicking the pages really fast
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
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
That legit looked like a mountain crumbling and falling onto him in that view from the board. Crazy
The ocean is so beautiful but terrifying at the same time

@@mathewdavis2427 Your Life Must Suck Right Now. Try praying to the Lord Jesus Christ or don't. Just stop going around making the world worse. If we all focused on the problem imagine having 7 billion people telling you how wrong your decision was.
@@johnsmith_treeler9031 Now 752! When is he gonna come back and edit another thank you..
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.
hahahaha
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
I surfed a 2 foot wave so I know that great feeling!
Sorry about the loss if your beautiful mother, I lost my mother in 2005 and I can totally sympathize with your pain!!!
This is like every wave in spongebob
He was no longer surfer for fun he was surfing to survive.
this is a suicidal record but damn give this guy an oscar for pulling this off
This GUY HAS BALLS OF STEEL full respect sir!
Big ups for the cameraman who shots the surfer from the board
No one:
Genius World Record: Garret surfed 78-feet wave
Me: can’t even boogie a 1 meter wave
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
He looks all robot...Im glad to see the ones I see now put their entire spirit into it and are completely fluid. ..
This surfer is so fearless
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'
That’s got to be the best pirate if ever seen
lol i was listening to interstellar song waves while watching this XD
the speed of the guy on the jet ski tho is on another level
That looks absolutely awesome
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 😂☠️
how fast the guy on the jetski left is hilarious
I felt the excitement of riding that wave, when in reality I’m wave hopping at the local beach.
I love how guiness add drum sound effect 😂
I was impressed with the dude on the jet ski, let alone the surfer!
ngl this is terrifying props to him
That’s so insane that people do this . I’m terrified of the ocean . Especially waves like this
I did the wave once when I went to a baseball game. 🤣😂
Josue Martinez no you didn’t
That’s funny
Portugal 😍
Please say no homo
One small question, when are you going to put the Benjamin Sanchis's record for the largest wave surfed at 108 feet (33meters)?
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
Probably "Endless Summer" by Bruce Brown?
Congrats! That was great courage to risk your life.
Point Break?
Diablo Larva Johnny Utah!
Lol watching johnny utah rt now actually
He is performing the ozaki 8
this guy is master
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.
Just imagine getting ran over by that wave
It's like getting run over a 10 wheeler 5 3 times
wow. some people are so brave and amazing.
Imagine that wave right at the seashore .. lol
this is absolutely incredible, im Portuguese as well , so nice to see talent like this. :)))
"Those aren't mountains,They are waves."
-INTERSTELLAR
Okay- but once as a child I stood up on my super cool blue foam board 😎
Benjamin Sanchis: 108 Ft. - 33M. (2014) | and Hugo Vau: 114 Ft. - 35 M. (2017)
Benjamin Sanchis -> biggest whipeout; Hugo Vau (2018)
This was in my recommendations
THAT IS AN 80 FOOT WAVE
*Presses NOPE button*
Don’t do that without lifeguards watching, with rescue supplies.
I'm just glad that guy's alive
I really don’t care about the surfing but am amazed by the size of the wave 🌊
Yeah Portugal got really big waves.
Looked like a water avalanche
How do you measure a wave with such accuracy?
thats a mighty fine surfer
He finally experience high tide!!
Bro surfed a frickin tsunami
Am the record for a person surfing a wave was like 100-108FT
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.
That is massive
What a legend
They r truly legends
I mean this is just insane
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.
Surging I'd basically skateboarding on water then 😂
It’s a wonder how this dude stays afloat with stones that big.
Anyone else come from the tsunami video when they read that one comment
Actually yes
That’s cool and terrifying
If he falls, GG
they must have used a big ruler to measure that one
y’all forget about the Florida man
Wow this is unbelievable jeff
Bro surfed a mini tsunamis
All I can say is wow
I caught a wave half this size and thought i was going to drown and almost did.
I wish you had
imagine how much its shaking
now thats a guinnes world record.
Shut your filthy mouth or I'll smack you
Man,he is surfing on millers planet waves.
Wow amazing
It says 78 feet but McNamara surfed 113...
That was me. I was the surfer in this video. Hold your applause.
What!? That must be over 100 Courics!
Lol
He didn't sink even with those huge balls of steel.
Champion!
*Aussie accent* "Thawts noot a waive, thaht's a waive"
so is the new record now hugo vau 115 ft nazare or rodrigo koxa 80 nazare hard to figure out what Guinness counts as a record
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.
he is shredding the gnar
Wow.
Amazing.
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.
What happens if the jet ski stalls and ya can’t get it restarted....them guys deserve some credit also
This is soo satifyng
“There not mountains.... there waves”
All man can do is smile back.....
.Maximus.
