Title: Garrett McNamara surfs 'highest ever' wave off Portugal
Post by: eye30 on January 31, 2013, 15:28:16

Garrett McNamara surfed the wave on Monday off the coast of Portugal, in the same spot where he surfed the current world-record wave of 78ft (24m) in November 2011.

Experts will now have to certify the new record.

I wouldn't like to do that on a boogie board.
