Garrett McNamara is one of those legendary surfing badasses, like Laird Hamilton, Jeff Rowley, and just a few select others, who can say he's looked a 50-foot-plus wave in the face and not only succeeded in NOT dying, but actually riding the bad motherfucker. According to his Wikipedia page, McNamara was one of the first to hop on the tow-surfing trend—a method of riding in which the surfer is towed by jet ski and dropped into massive waves that would have previously killed guys who tried to paddle out to them—and back in 2011 he rode, in Nazaré, Portugal, a 90-foot-high canyon wave that's the largest ever conquered. (Although this exact height was disputed by some kill-joys.)
