In the last few classes we have been talking about different kinds if waves but for now we are only focusing at 'water' waves. My previous blog post was about buoys allover the world and the highest wave ever. This blog post is again related to waves but not the ones that pass the buoys... the ones that are surfed....! This is the highest wave ever surfed and the size of the wave on this video compared to the man on the board is pretty huge!
One day at November 2011 the 44 years old Hawaiian man named Garret was not in the mood for surfing and decided to break the Guinness World Records. This happened in Nazare, Portugal
when the professional surfer’s friends convinced him to ‘catch’ a few waves. When he saw THAT wave he supposed it was 90 feet tall but when experts looked at it “closer” they found out that it was only 78 feet but it is still tall.
This is an amazing video and short article. It is amazing how someones mood can change for minutes and do something impressing like that… He better must have thanked his friends because I guess there was something coming up after breaking the record!
