They say the waves were 100-feet tall yesterday at Nazare, Portugal.

They say surfing legend Garrett McNamara caught and rode one.

Possibly the biggest wave ever ridden...? :shock:
Crazy stuff! Well done that man!

...And to inspire all the old guys on here, McNamara is a relatively ancient 45 years old :clap:
No pipe and slippers for this man :lol:
