Brazilian surfer Carlos Burle's ride on what may be a 100-foot wave off the coast of Nazare, Portugal, could be a world record, which would break American surfer Garrett McNamara's big wave record set at the same location.

I Watched As They Spent Hours Digging In The Sand. What Happens When The Tide Comes In? INCREDIBLE!

In this video we get to see how conservationists and surfers on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii team up to help mother nature, protect their community and in the process, create some of the most spectacular waves on Earth. Watch them at work here.

Every spring, the Waimea river overflows at Waimea Valley, near the mouth of the bay, threatening to flood the nearby town. This is caused by the unique topography of the bay itself, coupled with the diluvial seasonal rains.

To counter this, people have been hand digging trenches on the banks of the river to alleviate pressure. A happy side effect of this human intervention is that it creates a consistent wave generator that allows surfers to practice their craft.
