    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. To read about Garrett’s brave battle back to ride the waves again, head to bit.ly/GWR-Garr...

    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'

      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.

    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.
