Video: New World Record Likely Set For Surfing Biggest Wave
Hawaiian pro big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara may have just broken his own world record for surfing the world's largest wave. Via Skype with Anderson Cooper on CNN, McNamara described the "endless drop" of the estimated 100-foot wave he surfed on January 28 off the fishing village of Nazaré, Portugal.
Nazaré is also where McNamara set the world's record in 2011, for conquering an estimated 78-foot wave. When asked by Cooper if he got an adrenaline rush from his latest feat, McNamara responded, "No rush, so it's probably not at 100 feet! I'm not kidding you, Anderson. I don't know what's wrong with me. There's definitely something wrong."
Whatever the problem is, shredding monster waves isn't it.
