A Portuguese Love

Garrett McNamara, the legendary surfer who holds the world record for the tallest wave ever surfed, describes what it's like to ride such a huge wall of water. He takes  Anderson Cooper into the waters off Portugal  where he rode that 78-foot wave -- and may have recently caught one even larger -- to experience the power and the danger in waves many believe are the biggest on the planet.

Video You gotta love Garrett McNamara! Just read what he wrote about Nazaré beach: “There is nowhere in the world even remotely like it for enjoying the power and size of waves so close,” Garrett said. “It is mesmerizing to sit on the cliff and watch the waves and there is nowhere like it. But all I feel is that we will be able to share this place with a few more people.” Read more at The Daily Beast.
