You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
The biggest wave ever surfed.
The video is spell binding. A man on a board racing down a 10 story building of turbulent water. It’s thunderously delicious.
This incomprehensible stunt took place off the coast of Portugal.
The waves were indignant, angry, churning like a mountain with a belly ache.
100 foot waves were battering the coastline, beating the rocks like a crazy baby daddy smoking the rock.
The surf was crazier than a Stone Temple Pilots concert full of cocaine and hookers.
People on land were scared.
Who can blame them. The waves were ominous, foreboding, unbelievably powerful.
By phone the flying Hawaiian laughed and snorted through an interview. He talked about risking his life like it was some back yard stunt where a kid jumps off the roof onto a trampoline.
Extreme Surfer, Garrett McNamara had a bounce in his voice as he spoke about surfing the biggest wave a human has ever surfed.
“You’re just going so fast,” he said. “And it’s really similar to snow boarding down a giant mountain and you are chattering and flying down this bumpy mountain and your whole body is getting rattled.”
McNamara is using up lives faster than a bike courier riding through the DMZ.
This past November, he set the world record.
In 2011, the Crazy Hawaiian blasted down a 77 foot wave. That’s a small tenement building in Djibouti.
The surfing safari blasted down hill at 60 mph.
Is he crazy? he was asked.
Other surfers interviewed for this story called him out of his mind, borderline psycho
“I have to be a little crazy right?,” he said like the circus performer of death he is.
Yes you are, Garrett. yes you are.
He says he won’t do it again, but something tells me that a 125 foot wave forming in the Atlantic right now begs to differ.
And that is crazy.™
