Surfing a Wave of Mystery

By Trent Gilliss | Monday, November 14, 2011 - 7:12am

When asked about surfing a world record 90-foot high wave (27 meters) above Nazare Canyon off the Atlantic coast of Portugal, Garrett McNamara comments in this Guardian video:

“This wave is very mysterious and very magical. It’s just such a mystery; you never know what you’re going to get out there.”

Magical? Check. Daunting? Check. A mysterious place to meet one’s maker? Check.
