Here is your wave of the day (well, of the year 2018)…
It is so large that you can hear the wave from shore.
Tom Butler may have just surfed his way into the history books with this estimated 100-foot wave in Portugal. He was not only hoping to not only break a record for wave size ridden, but he wanted to prove to himself that he could best the waves that had almost ended his career a few years before.
In 2015 Butler made headlines, it wasn’t because it ended well. After a wave got the best of him, he suffered major injuries including bleeding from the ears and a collapsed lung.
