You don’t really equate Portugal with massive waves, but big wave rider Garrett McNamara knew a sick wave when he saw one. So, he pulled a Bodhi and rode it. Now the video’s making the rounds, the general consensus is that the wave is 90 feet high and…if that’s true, you’re lookin’ at the biggest wave ever surfed. And I thought surfing Tofino was hard! McNamara, you might recall, surfed a wave caused by a falling glacier in Alaska a while back. Suffice to say, he’s got balls big enough to fit in a dump truck.

More proof that Tofino is making a name for itself in the surfing community.  This weekend, the O’Neill Coldwater Classic tournament returns to Tofino for the second consecutive year.  Tofino surfing guru Peter DeVries won last year’s tournament, which certainly didn’t hurt O’Neill’s decision to come back to the surfing capital of Canada.  You’ll be seeing lots more of this up in Tofino this weekend.  With Thanksgiving coming up, I just realized that I’m thankful for living on Vancouver Island.  The best freakin’ place on Earth.  I think most Canadian surfers would agree.
