This is my 30 x 40 inch analysis of the biggest wave at Nazare, Portugal, on 11-1-11. The Billabong XXL judged this as officially the biggest wave ever surfed, at 78 feet.

Hank's famous photo featured on Ken Bradshaw's web site was a smaller 65-footer Ken rode later the same day. Greg Noll's wave is mythical, with the scale based on Larry...
