Video: Surfer rides what could be a record breaking 100ft wave Surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a wave on Tuesday off the coast of Portugal that reportedly was 100ft high. The possible new record was surfed on the same stretch of coast where he set the current world record wave of 78ft in November 2011. Experts are set to certify the new record. After riding the wave McNamara told Portuguese television that he felt "privileged." "We achieved everything we wanted to," he said. It was a big personal challenge for me.
