Surfer rides record 100-foot wave off Portuguese coast

Yahoo!7 January 30, 2013, 10:42 am

Big wave surfer Garrett McNamara is believed to have broken a new record after riding a 100-foot high wave in Nazare, Portugal.

Hawaii native McNamara, is a legend in the sport, known for his death defying surfing adventures in notorious breaks around the world.

The size of the wave is yet to be verified, but if it is as large as reported, the ride would had shattered the world record previously set by McNamara.

In 2011 the 45-year-old entered the history books by surfing a 78-foot wave, also in Nazare.

McNamara took to social media to express his excitement over the colossal surf.

"Thank you for all your support. It means the world to me. Today was an awesome day and so fun to be out there," he said on Twitter.

"I love Nazare. Cant wait for next year!!!"

Awesome. Just wish they had posted a few more pics of this. Chris J must be trolling saying that his beautiful and courageous PM Julia will be winning anything...

Well done to Garrett for succeeding with this fantastic & exciting achievement. The other people that have left these pathetic comments on here are only jealous of Garrett's achievement and they will never achieve any goals in life because they are small minded and immature.
