Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara has claimed to have beaten his own record with the largest wave which had been reported to be around 100ft off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal. He beat the previous record by 10ft and was also set in Nazaré.

McNamara, who was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts but whose family moved to Hawaii’s North Shore when he was aged 11, was accompanied by fellow big-wave surfers Andrew Cotton and Alastair Mennie and Mennie revealed that the conditions were “perfect” for McNamara whom he described as “inspiring”.
