Garret McNamara surfed a 100-foot wave back in January 2013; at Praia do Norte, Nazare. That went down in history as the biggest wave ever surfed ever – making Portugal overnight the number one place in Europe to catch the waves not to mention one of the world’s leading destinations for those looking for surfing adventure.
