100ft World Record Wave, Garrett McNamara Surfing Nazare, Portugal

WaveJet athlete and big wave world record breaker, Garrett McNamara (HAW), sits down with Surf Channel Television Network to explain the monster waves that Portuguese Nazaré creates, including his much-scrutinized 100ft wave caught in January 2013. McNamara has been surfing since his family moved to Hawaii in 1978, growing up with his older brother and talent agent, Liam McNamara. During the winter of 2002–03, McNamara won the World Surfing Championship tow at Jaws in 70ft conditions. Hawaii's big wave chargers went on to catch a record wave of 75 - 90 ft at Nazaré in 2011, then returned in January 2013 and caught another big wave that could reach up to 100 ft.
