Surfer Rides 90 Foot Wave (World Record)

YouTube Description:

Surfer Garrett McNamara just rode a 90 foot wave to set a new world record. [The previous record—77 feet—was set by
Mike Parsons in 2008.]

Despite the fact that one wrong move could put Garrett into an early watery grave, crushed by mega tons of water, he appeared to calm and in control, even as he traversed down the most dangerous part of the wave.So let the record books show that this huge accomplishment took place in Praia do Norte off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal where Garrett and some friends were hanging out, waiting for the big one. Also for the record, this enclave in Portugal is the only known deep water canyon in the world that leads all the way to shore. That unique configuration significantly expands the Atlantic Ocean water swells.

And just how did Garrett McNamara feel after memorializing the feat of surfing a 90 foot wave? "I feel so blessed and honored to have been invited to explore this canyon and its special town. The waves here are such a mystery."Quite a humble answer from a man who just rode such a humungous wave. http://WWW.CleanTV.com
