Carlos Burle May Have Set the World Record for Surfing the Largest Tow-in Wave. October 28, 2013. via The Inertia. Last year, we saw Garrett McNamara surf what was believed to be the biggest wave ever surfed when a photo emerged of him conquering what many say is a 100-foot wave.
1. Mark Parsons, Cortes Bank. In reality, the official record for the highest wave ever surfed goes to Mike Parsons for the 70-plus-footer he surfed off California's Cortes Bank on January 5, 2008. (Ken Bradshaw reportedly surfed an 80- to 85-foot wave off Oahu in 1998, but the photos taken from the beach were too far away to determine the exact size.) Parsons's ride netted him a Guinness World Record, $15,000, and a Honda jet ski from the Billabong XXL Biggest Wave Award, which has been handing out prizes to surfers who have conquered the world's largest waves since 2001.
