Yeah lituya was the ultimate ride wasn't it. You would need more than a body board for that though. Gotta have a boat. Brush up on your tree evasion too.
Two spots, Egypt in Hawaii And nazarre in Portugal have had 100 footers that I am aware of. I don't think Mavericks has ever broken that big.
What recent times do you speak of? I've never heard of these 200 foot waves. If you find them again lose the sponge bro

Ahh, right on I see.
Well shoot, if ya find your wave be careful! If ya make it you should contact Billabong.
I think solar waves will be the next frontier of big wave surfing. After BC and Alaska are fully explored.
The lighthouse stands on a steep cliff 175 feet above the sea so as the water fell over the top of the bluff and struck the tower on level with the balcony the wave may have been 200 feet high. Clearly, it was higher than the 93 foot Pilot Rock offshore which it washed completely over several times.
