The thing that gets me is reportedly there have been tsunamis over the past several hundreds of years ago that based upon how far inland they found debris some of these were over a thousand feet high I can't even fathom that this one looks like it's probably holding hands with 70 80 ft imagine something 10 times that high
I can't remember where I read it so I'll make up a name and say National Geographic but supposedly there was an earthquake off of the coast of South America that took off towards Japan by the time it hit Tokyo bay they calculated the wave and almost 3,000 ft High how they do that I don't know or how accurate this is just crazy to try and even fathom that
That HUGE wave was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I'm so relieved that the surfer came away intact and alive!!!!! The wave is more than huge or any other word that could be used to describe it!!!!!
Not sure if you know this or not, but the surfers for these massive waves are actually towed into position with a jetski! In the very beginning of the video clip you can see the jetski zooming off to safety off the right of the frame
@martin gonzalez I believe you replied to the wrong person. I already knew how they get up there, but the comment I was replying to mentioned "seriously impressive the fact that he got ahead of that wave" which made it sound like they thought the surfers just paddled up and caught it like they would with any other wave. I'm no surfer, but I watched a documentary on these giant waves one time because the entire concept is fascinating to me. I've never seen waves like this before in person so it surprised me that there are some places that commonly get waves 35+ feet tall, and if you track the waves and weather patterns you can go out on a nice day and see waves like this approaching 100 feet! It doesn't need to be the middle of a hurricane for them to appear in some parts of the world!
The waves move to quick to catch by paddling they get towed by jet skis to catch them. The jet ski pilot deserves some recognition as well. Both need to be on their A game.
@@Alejandro47- Im not sure if it would be instant. That wave looks to be 40+ ft high. IF you fell from the top it would knock you out and probably drown. If that amount of water were to hit him it would probably knock him out and drown. Itll probably take seconds. Instant just sounded cooler.

I used to be but I was in Atlantic City one time in the summer of 2012, and went boogie boarding at like 6am (small waves) but I swam WAY out, literally hundreds of yards from the beach, I was looking at the city get smaller and smaller, and even the Steel Pier seemed WAY further inland from where I was, until a guy in a red kayak came paddling out and I knew it was a lifeguard. He didn't realize I was a former lifeguard and was also on a boogie board, but still commented on how freaked out they were seeing someone swim out that far. Ever since then I'm at peace with the ocean and the idea of a tsunami no longer frightens me.
It's not just prep work it's the size of his balls to want to do that. That man there has big ole set on him!! My hats off to him and for him being so confident that he new he was going to own that wave! I couldn't and wouldn't do it. Someone should pay him a million dollars just for being brave and actually doing it.
Hmm nope. Where were you March 11, 2011? A tsunami isn't tall like that. That is a title wave. A tsunami is a very large body of water moving en masse in one direction caused by tectonic shifting, displacing gravity. You are ill prepared for such an event if you think this "looks" like a tsunami.
I’ve known about Nazare for a little while but I still can’t believe waves can get this huge. I would love to see it in person and feel the power… from land.
For real, I can't even imagine. Im pretty sure seeing a wave like that for only a moment would make the Grand Canyon or other similar sited seem Bush league.
It's really windy!!! Can't hear myself think!!! But the waves are due to a trench in the sea floor at just the right distance from the shore . I lived in Lisbon and Nazare is a short drive.
I've watched a lot of surfing videos of those big waves and never seen a wave like that. Freakin terrifying! How he kept ahead of it is just mind blowing.
Every night I used to draw surfers riding huge waves when I was 5, 6, 7 and 8 years old. I was obsessed. This is a 30 year dream come true, when a surfer rode a wave eclipsing even my childhood imagination.
idk, some of the soldiers who jumped out of planes on d-day and charged nazi mini guns getting shot in the leg and guts and keep moving just to take out 3-5 gunners have the biggest balls, he is a close second.
@@retna1x363 I would jump the night before D-Day started and charge machine gun nests. Or come in from the sea and run through a steel wall of bullets. *Both of these* I'd do BEFORE I would be a tunnel-rat and go crawling into a tunnel in Vietnam. Nope. No way. I ain't doing it. Go on and shoot me now. I ain't going
Truly awesome! How he managed to stay ahead of the giant wave is truly amazing because most of the video clips I have seen of surfers riding the Nazare waves inevitably get swamped by the waves!
I'm not into surfing but watching that was probably the most amazing thing I have ever watched in my life!! And it was done brilliantly and perfectly!!!
One time flying to Vegas over Colorado the river was frozen and winding around. As I flew over the the ice broke and water rushed. Once in a lifetime, was gorgeous and mighty like God is.

@@ARSENICKMUSIC ah cool. Thanks for letting me know this. English is not my mother tongue. And I love to learn new things every day. Thank you for correcting me 😉
Holy crap!!!!! I feel like I just witnessed the 8th Wonder of the World. 😮 I'm not a surfer at ALL, so please forgive my roundabout verbiage trying to describe what I saw. 😉 At first, the video looked to me like a massive storm cloud, swirling dark grey/black at the bottom about to drop tornadoes. Then I saw the teensy, tiny strip of a line at the top, where the surfer had come over the top & started to descend. THEN.....GULP!!!!! I saw the top of the gigantic wave.....correction.....THE ENTIRE OCEAN begins to fold over on itself straight down towards the surfer like an apocolyptic avalanche. WOW!!!!! I'm SO glad he pulled this off successfully & wasn't hurt. Otherwise I kept thinking "geez one wrong move & this guy's gonna be on an episode of "1000 Ways to Die." 🤔 But he made it!! Bravo Bravo! 👏 🏆 I read some comments below made by some very experienced surfers, so I would have a better understanding of what this guy pulled off. I mean the ENTIRE F-ING OCEAN just folded over at a super crazy apocolyptic height like a Tsunami. My heart was beating like crazy just watching it! 🤪
Tsunamis don't fold over like this, their power is in the surge and speed with which they pummel a shoreline. A tsunami's height isn't built as a steep wall like the one in this video, rather its height is more due to its increased depth and is spread out across an ocean's expanse.
You know that feeling as an athlete when you realize you’re “actually pulling this off” It’s that point where you just are out of body. I wonder at what point he felt this? Honestly would love to know
That’s how I felt in my state finals wrestling match. I was just happy to get top 2 cause the guy I was wrestling was a beast but I looked up with 20 seconds left and I was up by 2 points and was like “holy shit, I may actually beat this guy”. Awesome feeling but this is way more dope!
He's all focused in, nothing else matters at that time, and his time may feel like an hour or possibly 2 minutes, but however in its time element, a rock star on stage, may compaire, to relax, block out and yet totally aware!
@@Curtisgoesplaces I somewhat know that feeling. My ole man and I volunteered to coach my daughter’s soccer team and we lost pretty much every regular game and then somehow in the tournament at the end of the short season we won every game and only had 1 goal scored on us out of all of the games. We all looked at each other as the final minute of the last game ran out and were like “did we seriously just pull that off?” Lol. Congrats on your win though, you definitely deserve all the credit for your match whereas we have to give it to the kiddos that played their hearts out.

The amount of preparation for that moment is unreal. And to actually ride that phenomenon is incredible. Only a few in the world can do it.
Noch everyone cant do it
Correction.... Only one person in the world can do it. This guy Rodrigo
Yeah!
You've gotta be able to atleast hold your breath for like 3 or 4 minutes In case you take a fall and that big ass wave hits ya.
It's not just prep work it's the size of his balls to want to do that. That man there has big ole set on him!! My hats off to him and for him being so confident that he new he was going to own that wave! I couldn't and wouldn't do it. Someone should pay him a million dollars just for being brave and actually doing it.
God makes the ocean so powerful and intimidating.
He could have at least left the salt out…. Reduce a bit of thirst and all that
@@LuTheGent we need salt, and if there was no salt in the sea there would be way more bacteria
@@LuTheGent and no surfer bra hair
Bodhi: challenge accepted
Hail Poseidon!
Wave sets world record for propelling the biggest set of balls ever
Yes! I’m surprised his board shorts aren’t longer & somehow able to conceal such a pair
Absolutely!
Everyone says big balls! Balls are weak and sensitive. A vagina can take a real beating! He’s got one hell of a vagina sounds a lot better👍
@@MrBusy777 well, i don’t know who could disagree with that.
Haha 😆
This is one of those instances where the over used word epic is appropriate.
this 💯 qualifies by the [well we ain’t got no body]...epico
while he was surfing, those people who watched and filmed were witnessing a tsunami approaching
Is it the angle of the camera? It does look like everyone there should have been swept away. It's an enormous wave.
@@Ilovemymermaid could be the angle of the camera, yeah
Hmm nope. Where were you March 11, 2011? A tsunami isn't tall like that.
That is a title wave.
A tsunami is a very large body of water moving en masse in one direction caused by tectonic shifting, displacing gravity.
You are ill prepared for such an event if you think this "looks" like a tsunami.
@@Steph6n I wasn't being realistic
@@Lantern_Matt_2814 realistic? Was that supposed to be a joke lol? If so that's the worst attempt at comedy i've ever seen
For those who don’t know and want to know the wave is 100ft tall and like 30 ft long
As close as any modern man will ever know what it feels like to single handedly slay a dragon.
Or ride a dragon.
More do anything he wants to the Dragon. I'd like to have had a heart monitor to see how he didn't have a heart attack. RESPECT
and then there is Alex Honold
Spot on and poetic m8
I feel like I just watched a dragon be slain. Dudes a straight up beast.
I’ve known about Nazare for a little while but I still can’t believe waves can get this huge. I would love to see it in person and feel the power… from land.
Yup. I’ll stand right next to you bro.
Portugal is best for them
For real, I can't even imagine. Im pretty sure seeing a wave like that for only a moment would make the Grand Canyon or other similar sited seem Bush league.
It's really windy!!! Can't hear myself think!!! But the waves are due to a trench in the sea floor at just the right distance from the shore . I lived in Lisbon and Nazare is a short drive.
Looks like a edit to me , 2 video clips in one clip
Grew up in Hawaii, I've seen a lot of surfing, that was the best.
That says a lot!
Ya I think they also have big waves on east shore of Moloka’i.
Steep slope coming down and timed his turnout perfectly.👏Like descending Mt Everest.
@@MeEncantaKiley nothing anywhere close to that.
The biggest wave in the world are at Nazaré in Portugal guys 😉👍💪
I think he is surfing at Nazare, in Portugal where the waves can get up to 100 foot. Surfer is amazing, in riding that size wave.
Yes it is in Nazaré, i live in Portugal and once a year i go there to watch these massive waves, in january mostly
That fella knows what he's doing!! He deserves that record!!!!
OMG...that was incredible. I don't think I have EVER seen a wave that big in my life.
Oh...I was holding my breath.
Congratulations on an epic ride. 😊
I've watched a lot of surfing videos of those big waves and never seen a wave like that. Freakin terrifying! How he kept ahead of it is just mind blowing.
Every night I used to draw surfers riding huge waves when I was 5, 6, 7 and 8 years old.
I was obsessed.
This is a 30 year dream come true, when a surfer rode a wave eclipsing even my childhood imagination.
That's rad
Interstellar: "Those aren't mountains... they're waves..."
Rodrigo Koxa: _grabs his surf board_
He should also get the record for the biggest balls ever
Totally agree without that statement .
A true Testicle Testimony 👍🏽 lol.
idk, some of the soldiers who jumped out of planes on d-day and charged nazi mini guns getting shot in the leg and guts and keep moving just to take out 3-5 gunners have the biggest balls, he is a close second.
@@retna1x363
I would jump the night before D-Day started and charge machine gun nests.
Or come in from the sea and run through a steel wall of bullets. *Both of these* I'd do BEFORE I would be a tunnel-rat and go crawling into a tunnel in Vietnam. Nope. No way. I ain't doing it. Go on and shoot me now. I ain't going
He's disputing that title with Alex Honold for his Free Solo of El Capitan
If anyone is curious this is in Portugal, Nazaré
Jeez are the waves normally like that?
@@brianpitts922 I went there once on holidays, there were mist, big waves and an invasion of crabs lol Even for them was too much.
@@DiogoF. I bet. Looks beautiful though.
@Kasra Torabi Lol it is now corrected.
Now i know where not to swim
This man is beyond crazy, he's on a different planet.
Truly awesome! How he managed to stay ahead of the giant wave is truly amazing because most of the video clips I have seen of surfers riding the Nazare waves inevitably get swamped by the waves!
Flawless, beautiful ride on that magnificent wave.
Best surfer ever . timed it all so perfect XLNT drop brother 🤙😎 THE WAVE KEPT REACHING FOR DA SKY AWESOME RIDE DUDE!!!
I can't imagine how scary that is. The noise alone would terrify me.
Learn step by step. Don't expect quick improvement
Dear Lord in Heaven!! I almost had an anxiety attack just from looking at the footage!! Truly incredible!!!
that wave was close to heaven
Jesus bless you sister ❤
Downhill Racer!!! Quite breathtaking! Balls of steel! Bravo!! 🙌 🌟🏄❤
I'm not into surfing but watching that was probably the most amazing thing I have ever watched in my life!! And it was done brilliantly and perfectly!!!
One time flying to Vegas over Colorado the river was frozen and winding around. As I flew over the the ice broke and water rushed. Once in a lifetime, was gorgeous and mighty like God is.
I was literally going to say about the exact same thing. That was awe-inspiringly brilliant. 😎👍
I don't know much about surfing but that looks really super impressive. That's definitely the biggest wave I've ever seen
The balls on this guy are next level, and so is his talent and love for the sport apparently. This is epic!
His balls are the only thing larger than the wave he’s on. I’m talking a little higher just watching that. lol
He couldn't bail this wave was a ride or die
Then: "He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all."
Now: "BALLS"
@@pricklypear300 LOL Courage is doing something you don’t want to do or are afraid to do but must.... balls is something you don’t have to do at all but still choose to do it.
Whoooooraaaah boys 🤙🏼
If I were there, my heart will stop beating just by watching that gigantic wave from 100m away.
Respect this man's incredible timing and exact precision!!! Absolutely incredible.
That is not a wave, that's a nightmare.
I see what you did there. Here's a like.
I hate that nightmare. Ughhh
@@ghosthound17 What's is she referencing?
@@ObiWanAdobe69 interstellar
@@ghosthound17 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks! Damn I never clocked that
Wow. And such a clean ride. His hair probably dried out while he was ridin' it. Amazing.
The vertical on that ride is incredible! The scariest part is going under, and how long that wave would keep you there.
It must have been amazing to be in it. Beautiful.
It's humongous.
The force of the wave would prolly break your neck!!! So don’t gotta worry about drowning
Im not even a surfer nor can i even surf...but that wave just made me realise how small i really am in this world 👀
Yet Christ loves 💘you enough to die for you. God Bless.
@@barbaralavoie2642 lol
@@barbaralavoie2642 👼🏻😇🙏
Reminds me of the waves my mother in law makes when she jumps in the pool!!
😂😂
That is so wrong 🤣😂😃
Oh wow not very nice
Stop it. I might laugh.
Me and you sir, would certainly get along
At the start bro is surfing down the wave but actually getting taken higher and higher 😳 that thing is a fucking monster
Never ceases to amaze me how much courage it takes to do something like this 🙇🏼♀️
Edit: I was told I made a mistake in my original post so I corrected it.
it takes way more courage to have a boring office job 5 days a week.
@@Adriaan1987 nah. Did that. Never did that kind of a wave though haha
@goingtoheavenissimple6385 no one asked or cares
You just said the opposite of what you meant. The phrases known as ceases to amaze me not seems to amaze me because that's literally what it did
@@ARSENICKMUSIC ah cool. Thanks for letting me know this. English is not my mother tongue. And I love to learn new things every day.
Thank you for correcting me 😉
Holy crap!!!!! I feel like I just witnessed the 8th Wonder of the World. 😮 I'm not a surfer at ALL, so please forgive my roundabout verbiage trying to describe what I saw. 😉
At first, the video looked to me like a massive storm cloud, swirling dark grey/black at the bottom about to drop tornadoes.
Then I saw the teensy, tiny strip of a line at the top, where the surfer had come over the top & started to descend.
THEN.....GULP!!!!! I saw the top of the gigantic wave.....correction.....THE ENTIRE OCEAN begins to fold over on itself straight down towards the surfer like an apocolyptic avalanche. WOW!!!!!
I'm SO glad he pulled this off successfully & wasn't hurt.
Otherwise I kept thinking "geez one wrong move & this guy's gonna be on an episode of "1000 Ways to Die." 🤔
But he made it!! Bravo Bravo! 👏 🏆
I read some comments below made by some very experienced surfers, so I would have a better understanding of what this guy pulled off.
I mean the ENTIRE F-ING OCEAN just folded over at a super crazy apocolyptic height like a Tsunami.
My heart was beating like crazy just watching it! 🤪
well written my friend!!
You're like a poet or some shit
Tsunamis don't fold over like this, their power is in the surge and speed with which they pummel a shoreline. A tsunami's height isn't built as a steep wall like the one in this video, rather its height is more due to its increased depth and is spread out across an ocean's expanse.
Best comment "ever". 😁
@@YourMajesty143 it's the "gravity", literally throwing the water around.
The incredible power of water- beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
More terrorfying . That thing breaking on you.
Yep
I can't believe there are waves this big
And my ass is just sitting here in bed, while people like him exist? Damn...
Dont worry, a lot of people like him dont exist anymore.
@@pluto8404 that’s for sure, anyone that’s famous these days don’t even have talent, they just dance in front of a cell phone
@@CalebHolst true. But what I originally meant was, people like him are dead.
@@pluto8404 that too, I guess that’s a better argument lol
Lmfaoooo
I didn't even realize waves got that huge! That's terrifying, he's definitely talented amazing. 😕
You know that feeling as an athlete when you realize you’re “actually pulling this off” It’s that point where you just are out of body. I wonder at what point he felt this? Honestly would love to know
Man, I know that feeling, I can't imagine the intense moment he was feeling right there 🙌💯⚡
That’s how I felt in my state finals wrestling match. I was just happy to get top 2 cause the guy I was wrestling was a beast but I looked up with 20 seconds left and I was up by 2 points and was like “holy shit, I may actually beat this guy”. Awesome feeling but this is way more dope!
"The zone"
He's all focused in, nothing else matters at that time, and his time may feel like an hour or possibly 2 minutes, but however in its time element, a rock star on stage, may compaire, to relax, block out and yet totally aware!
@@Curtisgoesplaces I somewhat know that feeling. My ole man and I volunteered to coach my daughter’s soccer team and we lost pretty much every regular game and then somehow in the tournament at the end of the short season we won every game and only had 1 goal scored on us out of all of the games. We all looked at each other as the final minute of the last game ran out and were like “did we seriously just pull that off?” Lol. Congrats on your win though, you definitely deserve all the credit for your match whereas we have to give it to the kiddos that played their hearts out.
dam shame go pro wasnt a thing yet that would have been the most incredible POV footage evershot

🤣
He is?

I would love to just see a wave like that in my lifetime. It looks huge!
That’s what I’m thinking, too! It’s probably so much more impressive in person than on video which is crazy impressive.
Just go there and see for yourself. Nazaré, Portugal. All winter long.
@@Egitaniense2 Would love to it's just that I am, well, uh poor.
Winter months are what month to what month?
@@TheNativeWaterDame winter is from 21 december to 21 march. However they say the best months are from november to february.
The most fearsome thing I can ever imagine anyone ever wanting to do, let.alone performing the feat so perfectly. I cannot imagine he undertook to ride this wave counting on any measure of luck.
I rode some 12 footers in Southern California after a storm. but this is Legendary. I bow to this man in complete honor and respect.
BIG set of BALLS.
Garrett McNamara is the legend who put this spot on the surfing map at Nazare. Check out the documentary about it on HBO Max.
Yep. He deserves all the credit. His wave was only a few feet less than Koxa’s too.
What's the doc called?
@@METALGRAMMYS Cool, thanks!
@@METALGRAMMYS brother, thank you. I will watch
Actually a fan of his put it on the map. Told him about it for 5 years
