I’ve seen a lot of big surf and I know some were exaggerated, but this was the real deal. Unbelievable.

Wow, this beats by a ton my record of surfing an 90 inch wave.

I was wondering how a person on a surfboard could paddle hard enough/fast enough to catch such a monster, then I found the following link which shows the trick they use:

I will have to challenge his claim. Duke Williams who rode the tsunami onto the Gilligans island easily smashes this record.

Just sent that link out to my friends. A pleasure to watch. And remarkable that a deep water canyon goes all the way to shore in that one spot in the world.

Back in 1974, we spent three weeks at Ericeira, a fishing village on the Portuguese Atlantic coast, with some of our children. Great beaches. Although the water was even colder there than we were used to off the coast of Maine.
