World Record Biggest Wave Ever Surfed 90ft

We had no idea Portugal's coast got such big waves, but would you believe it, it does. 90-foot ones, waves bigger than your house, your neighbor's bigger house, and things that are 89 feet -- that big. It's all thanks to the massive underwater gorge called "Nazaré Canyon" that creates unusual giant waves.

Hawaii-born Garrett McNamara describes himself as a "Extreme Waterman Explorer & Big Wave Champion" on his website, but by us, he's the luckiest surfer alive, happening upon the record-breaking wave while out tow-in surfing with Andrew Cotton and Al Mennie during the surfing gathering known as the "ON North Canyon Project 2011".

"I feel so blessed and honored to have been invited to explore this canyon and its special town. The waves here are such a mystery", Garrett said afterwards. Um, okay Garrett, right you are. Still, nice job!

Base jumpers scare us half to death

With most of the action-spectacular x-treme sports videos we show you here, it's merely a case of clicking play and watching the magic happen.

But this time around, there's something about this clip that makes you really scared. As in, hands-shaking-forehead-sweating scared, and it's all thanks to Chris 'Douggs' McDougall and his base jumping buddies Carlos and Dario.

Jumping onto the outside of an exterior elevator, they slowly but surely make their way to the top of Benidorm's Gran Hotel Bali before leaping off and pulling their parachutes open. As professional daredevils, they all land safely -- but still, we promise you you'll get the jitters. You know, in a good way.
