Garrett McNamara.

Would love to seen a headcam pointing back and up of that – amazing.

Sorry but paddling Jaws beats that.

Without Laird none of that probably would have taken place. Never will he be overtaken.

It’s interesting how the envelope keeps getting pushed wider. They’re now paddling into waves that previously would have been considered impossible without a tow. 😯

I think Mavericks was where the goalposts moved.

Nazare is bonkers.It looks like a beach break gone mental.Giant shifting peaks,no channel.An apparently random collection of mutant A frame monsters that appear from seemingly nowhere (last swell was <20ft but gets magnified 2-3 times as large by the bathometry) and no hope of rescue on the inside if the worst happens. Something BAD will happen there :0(

EPO ?

Nobody will ever equal that wave on Teahupoo.

(well apart from my epic 4-6ft day at Skateparks 😉 back along)

Nah. The thing about Mavericks is the cold water and sharp pointy rocks lying just below the surface. I think Jaws and Teahupoo (pronounced cho-poo, I believe) are meant to be bigger and heavier waves. I stand to be corrected, though.

Mikey, true what you say, they are bigger and heavier… but Mav’s was where paddle power was born again. Massive ledges like that had never been paddled into before.

Ghost Tree is also pretty big and scary

Eddie Would Go

Pah. Longsands.
