"If you take Jaws, Puerto Escondido and Waimea shorebreak and put them all on steroids... you get Nazaré." - Garrett McNamara
WaveJet athlete and big wave world record breaker, Garrett McNamara (HAW), sits down with The Surf Channel Television Network to explain the monster waves that Portugal's Nazaré creates, including his scrutinized 100ft wave caught in January of 2013. McNamara has been surfing since his family moved to Hawai'i in 1978, growing up with talented brother and athlete, Liam McNamara. During the winter of 2002-03, McNamara won the Tow Surfing World Cup at Jaws in 70ft conditions. The Hawaiian big wave charger went on to catch a record breaking 75 - 90ft wave at Nazaré in 2011, then ventured back in January 2013 and caught another massive wave with a possible height of 100ft.

I nearly got killed going out in 20 foot surf. I can only imagine what sort of intestinal fortitude is required to surf Nazare. This guy is truly, The Man.
Just deal with it.
Intestinal fortitude😅
Wow Spectacular
@@mkskrrhp McNamara saying "you just deal with it" is the prime example of "the best advice you could possibly get sounds dumber than a box of rocks".
I love the way many people are so hot and bothered saying it was the biggest wave, others saying it wasnt, and Garrett just doesn't really care. He just wants to surf big waves and have fun.
keep up the true spirit, its refreshing to see.
How are waves measured? Can they really be measured? Probably not, unless there is a 100 story building in the ocean or on the beach.
@martina5296 only someone who has absolutely no clue of how things are measured would say this. You can measure waves mathematically based on the speed they go, various buoys out in the ocean and what size and speed it was when it passed them and also you can measure based on footage. Extremely small minded to think it needs a 100 ft building beside it to measure against.
Bullshit, the speed they go is nothing to do with getting an accurate measurement..Buoys can’t measure a wave 😂
I almost died from a 24ft wave in mexico when I turned my back on the ocean. There are obviously no real life guards in mexico, and the beach was not off limits. 2 Hawaiians happened to be close by and rescued me from what would of possibly been the death of me as I ran out of energy on my own. I couldn't imagine seeking out a 95 foot wave for fun, that is absolutely incredible.
Yuotube
bruh Mexico has life guards. Maybe not at the beach you were at, but like the country isn't devoid of them. 8.5% of Mexico's GDP is from tourism -- the tourists wouldn't come to lounge on the gorgeous Mexican beaches if there were just... no lifeguards. Beyond basic safety, it's an economic investment.
@@artbysarf relax, you missing the point
@@artbysarf I don't think was an insult to Mexico. Last time I checked there were no lifeguards at Trestles or most other surf spots in the US. Chill, dude. If surfers come to Mexico and drown, I'm sure they aren't going to haunt you.
Amy Kline “there are obviously no real lifeguards in Mexico” literally how else are you supposed to take that lmaoooo
I remember seeing this on the news and I still can't believe waves like this exist. Seriously crazy what Garret is capable of doing.
Believe they exist I've seen them myself and it's the most amazing scary thing. I live in half an hour(by car) from that place so i have plenty of opportunity to see those mountains
***** don't believe then
not a coastal surf wave but theres a slightly documented legendary 60m (around 200 feet) wave that hit a lighthouse in trinidad head. There's also been recorded rogue waves well over 30 meters high. The oceans are immensely powerful.
Astonishing! 🌊
good
"be in the moment, stay connected to the situation, and just deal with it" - the only mindset to approach these scenarios
Hundreds of years ago Portuguese sailors battled the grip of these waves to discover the world, today these same waves carry in the world to discover Portugal.
Yeah but they waited for the swell to go down!
Beautiful ❤️
And they discovered Brazil and made here a trash
@@josefilho4686 you made it!
They help to make all America ( the whole continent's name is America), a giant force labor camp with the church blessing.
Scares the hell out of me. Seriously this scares me..... that is insane.
With you on that mate keep safe ✌🕊🙏

*100ft wave! Holy mackerel have to also thank the guy who went out there with the tape measure*
welcome to the XXI century we have precision tools for mesure now... not like in the XIX century

@@jorgesaopedrogomes you didn't get the joke lmao

@@aye_shinazo Problem is, considering the average intelligence of an average person there's a good chance the original poster legitimately thinks waves can't accurately be measured.
I love the fact that he doesnt look anything like your stereotypical surfer.
Cory Dunn nah they are all the same
Cory Dunn I wasn’t serious, I was taking the piss of you for not taking a joke 😁
Cory Dunn good thing I wasn’t the one making the joke. BTW stereotypes exist for everything so I don’t understand why you denied them, I know it’s wrong to use them in real life situations (jokes have no limits however) but they exist non the less if you like it or not👍
@Cory Dunn stop being so sensitive. There is absolutely a stereotype for surfers.
Les Claypool douche
I didn’t even know there are waves like this anywhere. Wow.
McNamara ...don't matter if anyone beats his record wave...he was invited by a local that regretted his own decision and finally was so uncomfortable when MCNamara showed that he was going trough with this craziness!!
It was insane calling him up...but the local called the one and only that, besides balls of steel and knowing this would be serious...He did it ,made it happen by working day and night to keep the impossible,possible un fact!! But with all the care and wisdom of dealing with a monster that will never be predictable!!!
I am in North America right now...always loved surfing. Watched movies like POINT BREAK 1991 talking about 100 ft waves coming around every 100 years!!
In 83 my father brought me to the site cause I loved waves...and he said!!
If you love waves these are the biggest you will see around here!!!
Therefore....I as a kid and adult going back there...! Whatever you see on TV, TH-cam!! Is nothing compared to reality!!
Therefore McManara s and team from the very beginning....all the seconds they spent looking at them Waves to actually have Surfers come out of it alive!!??
We got to say ....The surfer past attitude doesn't work at Nazare!!
Beat record or not ...wipe out or not...everyone wants to see you make it out alive!!!
McManara is the one that will always feel responsible for this gift to the world 🌎 and for all that gets hurt in future!!! The Man is an Icon for getting others to surf the Monster and for making it possible with the safety and care in such a huge bet !!
Always be my KING OF BIG WAVE!!
McManara...take care of your family and keep an eye out for the next Kamikaze s!!!
Cheers 💯❤️
On a longliner I was working on we got stuck in a storm 600nm off southern Australia. The swells were way over 100ft. We were in the same area just steaming into it for 4 days.
Windows all boarded up, in dry suits the whole time. The hull cracked in 3 sections. All bilge pumps plus backups were on permanently. We didn’t call in a mayday but coastguard was checking in with us hourly round the clock. I think if it had been an older boat I wouldn’t be here today. I’ve been in some hairy situations but that time I didn’t think we were coming home.
Imagine what it was like to be a navigator with these waves at the time of the discoveries 😱 The waves of Nazaré are spectacular and frightening. Portugal is beautiful 🇵🇹❤️ We don't just have the Cristiano Ronaldo 😋
Imagine rounding😮 the Horn without a chart. Magellan, et al had serious guts
Something that makes me wonder why they 've made that fort at Nazare. Who in his right mind would attempt to navigate and/or approach that beach with a caravel or whatever ships they had back then?
that photo is ridiculous, you gotta have zero fear to want to accomplish that
Fear is ok, it’s ok to be afraid, it’s what you let it do. That’s what matters. You can’t let it control you. Or.......you can be all around fearless like you said.
@@isabellebrockett8016 Nicely said.
Would have never guessed that an old timer with grey hairs was the baddest surfer on the planet.
Never judge ...
Eddie Thiery
With age comes wisdom... experience... and perspective. With all that the mind and body become closer to one
You're not gonna escape either kiddo.
Eddie Thiery age b4 beauty 😏
Well, it may surprise you to know that best of the big wave tow in surfers have gray hair and have been around doing this stuff for a long time.
you would have never guessed that experience meant increased skill level?
My new video of the waves and surfing in Nazaré: th-cam.com/video/FvUTUfyGXSY/w-d-xo.html
This man has a total disconnection with fear that defies explanation. I can't even......😨😲😱
TheyWillKillYou brought me here , this guy is hard core. Live in the moment! If you're in the moment you are really connected to what is going on.
Never gets old watching this guy!
Mick mack mock meck muck

how can he surf with 2 anchors weighing him down
his balls?
Fred Souza no. IRON balls
Well you need ultra stability for ultra waves
Congrats, You found a comment in June 2020, Happy Panademic :)
Wonder if your past self thought the pandemic would be over by now
@@KarlismiSN I did lol
@@alexmortel356 Lol I love yoy
There’s no words to explain how I feel when I saw this. WOW 😲
you have no idea what you're talking about, until you have seen those live you just dont know man.they are not the prettiest waves no they arent, but there is a reason why they call it the killer waves of the canyon , its pure raw ocean power
He's 50 years old and He has ridden a wave of 25 metres!!!...AWESOME!
Portugal 🇵🇹❤️❤️
knowing there's 75-100 feet waves scares me so much, let alone surf on it.
He said in the water the wave looks much bigger..!! Now I grew up surfing LBI, NJ and his statement blows my mind bc when I started surfing 3-5 feet waves were really big to me when I was in the water they looked huge .. the biggest I'd surfed was maybe 7-8 footers before a hurricane and again in the water they looked huge!!! I tell people that when asking me about my surfing days and I always said they are much bigger when ur out there!! I can't imagine surfing 100 footers it's amazing and insane!!!!
I went looking for a large print of this photo for my son’s new house, and ended up down a curious rabbit hole to here...where you find psycho thrill seekers like my son!
He’s gonna love it!
A thousand thanks Gerrett for going to my beautiful country. You sir are the man.
Epic picture! What a memory to have.
Some people say Carlos Burle! He didn't finish it
but Garett did, u r the best
Those waves are just mind blowing
I love Garrett. His surfing is great but his wife seems like a great person too. I enjoy watching his surfing. By the way he has a book out. Check it out.
Portugal
Garrett has more balls than a bowling alley!
It's on my bucket list to see these waves!
Worth the trip!
"Enjoys being swept over by a 50 foot wave". I nearly piss myself in overhead surf.
I wonder what the first big wave surfer was thinking, like did he look at a ten story swell and be like “ yah dude that’s rad, let’s go surf it, hahah, cowabunga🤙🏻🤙🏻”
“Oh woah dude, tha wave is beautiful im goin to ride it home or see Jesus early. Shakas bro 🤙🏾”
I get palpitations just looking at the size of this. this guy is our equivalent of Hercules. Bravo Bru !!!
My friends own a beach house in Portugal. The waves are awesome!
i have visited that place there were no big waves at that time of the year but i must say the town was so nice also there was a Volleyball tournament which was cool
Just to visit and watch the waves breaking sounds like a thrill!
You can see why he is in the top 5 Big wave charger league! He like David and goliath runs toward the fear not away from it, and has the mindset to face his fears and as he says deal with it not let it deal with him lol ! A legend of Big wave surfing he is.
We know where Poseidon has been chillin' all this time...
Потрясающий фильм!.. Просто смотреться на одном дыхание!Браво.....
I luv watching him and his family! This guy isn’t human❤ I’ve learned how to meditate by watching 100 ft Wave!
I swam in a 3-5' waves in Maui Hawaii and that shit was crazy. This shit scare me, I wouldn't be near that ocean.
I almost died by getting pounded on like 5ft wave..
He's comfortable when he rides that Kraken wave, fuck! Totally badass dude
Men like him should be way way way more famous for risking his life trying to achieve something really really really difficult
I can't even imagine having the guts to do this; but, I don't think thrill seekers should be celebrated for taking risks that ultimately accomplish nothing. I think people should become famous for doing things that impact someone beside themselves. And before anyone says he's teaching people to overcome fear; fear, in some situations, is a very good thing to have and to heed.
but its pointless..
@@tonijohnson3558 he could be teaching people to go after their passions in life. What a lame buzz kill comment 🙄🙄🙄
best opening words "i just like to surf big waves " hahah fucking champ
One dream of mine is to surf a big wave. I don't know how big, the size doesn't deter me. Problem is I've NEVER surfed :(
Nazaré = formula one (FI) of big waves
Amazing 🤩! The men and women who have the skills to master these waves are a small select group of people. ❤
The village was called Pederneira but changed it's name to Nazaré a long time ago because of the cult of the image of Our Lady of Nazaré. It become so popular that even Vasco da Gama and many other famous sailors would go to Nazaré to pray for good fortune. The cult also spread throught the world, within the Portuguese Empire and can be observed in places, like Brazil or India. Anyway, Garrett McNamara elevated Nazaré to a holy place for surfing.
As an ocean lover, I see "regular" surfing as something people do for fun, and big wave surfing as a religious experience.
Now surfing has progressed to FOILS. It looks like an airplanes body with wings & a small tail under water with a long strut allowing the surfer to ride above the water. The foil taps into the greatest energy of a wave below the waves surface & moving faster. Totally amazing to see. Boots hold the surfer in place on the small platform they stand on.
That's fucking rad! Just saw this clip on the Van Halen page on Facebook. Looked it up had no idea that was you ! Cool man!
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Proverbs 8:29
OK I saw what GMcN spoke of: this wave broke in 2 & might have stood higher, for longer, meaning + or - another 40 ft in height, as a guess; what's the highest ever seen at reef, shelf or shore, and is the number going to turn out equal to those of freak/rogue open ocean storm slops, likewise at well over 100 ft?
Wow these waves!
Back in the '60s the waves at Makaha were thought to be pretty major. This? WOW! So amazing.
I LOVE BIG WAVE SURFING. YOU GUYS ARE BRAVE. IT GIVES YOU AN ADRENALINE RUSH. GOD BLESS AND BE CAREFUL
Its called living life to the fullest.
When the great mountain climber Hillary was asked by a journalist why he wanted to climb Mount Everest being that its so dangerous his answer was:
Because its there.
You truly are fearless, sir!
People: run there’s a tsunami
People at nazare: no no it’s just another 100ft swell
Oh let me try that then...no bloody way! The beach seems nice. There could be nice restaurants.
Jaws, Puerto Escondido, Yarra Bay Shorebreak together on steroids... (0:28)
I believe in you, cause I know Nazaré
I think he said waimea shore break
This reminds me of myself when I used to surf on the Okaloosa Jr College surf team
you aint no fuckin surfer you has ben
Rodrigo Koxa surfed the biggest wave in the world in Nazaré and beat the record of McNamara...
Brazilian surfer beat McNamara record by 61 centimeters, with wave of 24.38 meters.
I WOULDNT EVEN GO IN THAT WATER WITH A BOOGIE BOARD!
THIS GUY IS CRAZY!!
You could get enough speed on a body board, wave would overtake you so quickly
The Wave that started it all....amazing footage.
It is nutz how these guys do this!
See the way they know this is 100 ft, is they measure the weight of the surfers balls and convert pounds to feet in a 1 to 1 ratio
You are amazing.
amazing ... Nazaré is fantástic place ...
as someone who has never surfed, i'd say this looks like an easy wave
Two reasons you would say that:
1) You’ve never surfed.
2) You’re a complete and total idiot.
@@machinegunjackmcgurn7453 well said
“Just deal with it” dude is an absolute beast
Here from Shawn Ryan show tryna see what surfing a 100ft wave looks like
I agree garret wiping out can be fun sometimes but it’s different for me because I’m more comfortable with Shore breaks not those 100 foot monsters you ridebkudos
Just amazing to ride a wave like this.
Just to even witness a wave that big would make my knees buckle
I love being part Portugal
He had to strap his feet on with boots....wonder what the speed he attained doing that was.
He must have heard other surfers talking about how they could have rode a wave but the board vibrated out from under their feet from the speed.
That's a whole other story
Balls of platinum!
Of titanium and as large as coconuts...
Mon respect pour le cameraman : 📈📈📈
Il coraggio di quest'uomo non ha limiti!
Absolutely amazing!
Nice images. Better with Chilly Gonzales's Manifesto than with agressive heavy metal. Chillax.
Mindblowingly crazy!
He is the Best! 😍👍💚
Oh my god i got scared from watching the wave on the video , now i imagine if i was doing this O.O
It is reckoned Tom Butler Uk has now surfed the biggest wave , it terrified me at times in 12-15ft when there was little shape and area to paddle out in , these waves are different in shape so there is somewhere to go but having that breaking behind you must take a lot of guts .
Can you or anyone share the day, time, month & water temperatures?
Been underwater at one of the coldest place, just wonder about this.
The water temperature is the same for Peniche (good quality waves but small and any good surfer can do it). Right now (November) is 15ºC.
Looks like a fucking tsiunami the amount of balls this guy has. I would be scared shitless to just see the waves let alone fucking riding em.
Very good vid of the event well put together!
this is my fuking contry
gz, almost like you did something
Rodrigo Silva yeah I can tell by the spelling
What a epic scene
That is insanse. The wave. The surfer.
That's insane!
