Garrett McNamara, 45, claims he broke his previous world record by surfing a nearly 100-foot wave in Portugal earlier this week. A photo released Tuesday, Jan. 29 by the Nazare Qualifica organization shows McNamara riding a giant wave atop the Nazare Canyon, a 1,000-foot deep underwater canyon off the coast of Portugal

It was on TCM a few months ago. I hadn’t seen it since the 60’s either. It was fun watching it again.

"But look at it, Johnny. Look at it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, man. Just let me go out there, let me get one wave before you take me. One wave. Where am l gonna go, man? Cliffs on both side. l'm not gonna paddle to New Zealand! My whole life has been about this moment, Johnny. Come on, compadre. Come on. COME ON!"

This video, he just barely makes contact going over a ledge, survives with a few broken bones:

Good way to get yourself killed. But, impressive just the same.

If you gotta go, might as well do it with style and glory...
