"Did Garrett McNamara Ride A 100-foot Wave?"
I'm going to have to defer to Betteridge's law of headlines on this one. |

It's not forced perspective.
Look at the wave, then look at the dude, then look at the wave again.
100 feet. |

Done a lot of surfing on the west coast of Ireland, we get the same swells hit us as Portugal but nothing that size. Dayum! |

@Gerry: Swells bring consistent sized waves. Im pretty sure they were all better than 90 feet. Regardless, its an impressive run. I went to North Shore and swells were coming at about 20 feet and I chickened out. |

That's not surfing. That's the ocean running away from him in fear.
Was he using a board or did he kill Chuck Norris and wax him up as soon as he rigor'd? |

I don't think he did it on purpose. He just caught a bit of wave and it grew and grew and grew. Once you are on it there's not much choice but to keep going as long as you can.
Did he live? |

I can't really tell. His balls are so big it is hard to judge the size of the wave. |
