The behemoth  came ashore near the city of Nazare on the central cost of Portugal and one man came with it.

Brazilian big wave surfer Carlos Burle grabbed a ride on what may be the biggest wave ever surfed.

After conquering the wave Burle told Surfer Today magazine "it was luck. We never know when we will be catching the wave."

Just minutes earlier Burle had rescued one of his friends, big wave surfer Maya Gaberia who failed to get his wave and nearly drowned trying.

The previous record came in the same spot when Hawaii’s Garrett McNamara worked his way down a 100 foot wall of water in January of this year.

Talking about it is fine but seeing it is much better. Take a look at the video below and just imagine the rush!
