   It was a calm November morning in Nazare located in Portugal. A man named Garrett McNamara, who is a surfer was thinking shall he go to surf that day or not. His decision made a mark in the whole world. He decided to go, and together with that, he set a new world record. He surfed the highest wave. The wave was approximately 90 feet tall. Amazing. Well, for it to be more amazing, the whole thing was caught on tape. The video is now on YouTube. The video is only 25 seconds long, but it has the whole thing down.
      When I read this article for the first time, I taught this cannot be true, but then I saw the video and started to believe. But, when I didn't believe, it is not that I taught the media was exaggeration, but that the whole thing is made up. I cannot picture myself standing in front of a 90 feet tall wave. Surfing on one, I will never imagine, even now when I read this article. Congratulations to this man.
Here is the video:
