"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 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.

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.

@martina5296 2 года назад

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.

@badkitty0in0a0corset 11 месяцев назад

@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.

@Rosco-P.Coldchain 6 месяцев назад

Bullshit, the speed they go is nothing to do with getting an accurate measurement..Buoys can’t measure a wave 😂

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.

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, RU-vid!! 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 💯❤️

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.
