"This is a perfect example of how close you get to the action in Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal." Garrett McNamara

"The Nazaré Canyon is an undersea canyon just off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. The Nazare Canyon causes very high breaking waves. This makes Nazare a hotspot for big wave surfing. In November 2011, Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a record breaking giant wave: 78 feet (24 m) from trough to crest, at Nazaré. In January 2013 it was reported that he successfully rode a wave measuring a maximum estimate of 100 feet (30 m) at the same location and possibly exceeding the size of his previous record-breaking wave."
