It is hard to believe, and we are not quite sure whether to believe it either, but Garrett McNamara has just surfed the biggest wave ever (90ft +) just off the coast of Portugal. We thought that we had something special lined up for this year and have dedicated a lot of time to covering this story, but we never thought it could get this big!

Garrett McNamara and Floridian CJ Macias were in the right spot to take full advantage of what Nazaré had to offer. 3 days of pumping swell and some monster waves have led us to post about what we have seen off the coast of Portugal. Do not be surprised, this is one of many posts to come this season as we highlight one of the biggest, most dangerous spots Europe has to offer.

UPDATE: ASP suspends Bobby from competing in the rest of the Quik Pro NYC

Well, it’s no news that Bobby Martinez isn’t the ASP’s biggest friend but it is news when he loosens his tongue on Quiksilver’s live webcast. Listen to Bobby’s outburst, then watch the live webcast from Round 2 in New York City.

So this is not so much of a news story as just showing you that you don’t need monster waves to be shredding the surf. It surely can’t be long before he is breaking into the top 30, one session is enough for him to get a full video of footage!

Yea, I know we’ve been completely filling up this blog with Chopes stuff, but how can you blame us? Up to now, the world tour has been such a laughable collection of shit waves and no shows that we pretty much have to focus on the madness at Chopes over the past few days. The Hobgoods, Fanning, & Taj are out, Jordy’s hurt, Jeremy Flores gets a perfect 20, and this was only day 9. Check out the highlights after the jump.
