"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.
