A Hawaiian surfer may have beaten his own world record for riding the largest wave ever surfed - a monster 30-metre wall of water off the coast of Portugal. It means the world to me. Today was an awesome day and so fun to be out there

If the claims are verified, big wave surfer Garrett McNamara will go into the Guinness World Records with his incredible ride on a wave estimated to be more than six metres higher than his previous record, set at the same spot at Nazare in Portugal last year.

In 2007, McNamara became the first man to ride a glacier wave on a surf board. He spent three weeks camped out by the 120-metre Child's Glacier in Alaska waiting for the perfect wave. He was towed onto a large wave that was generated when a huge block of ice broke off the glacier and fell into the water.
