00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Dumb Mission with join Z and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 2: Our next guest is the record breaking big wave surfer,

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: known for discovering and pioneering the biggest wave in the

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: world at Nasaree, Portugal. Well, this new documentary series he

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: has capturing the ten year odyssey to find and conquer

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: the hundred foot wave. Just watching the trailer, it made

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: me sweat, made my armpits hurt. I don't know how

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: it does it. Garrett McNamara joins us.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: Now, Hello, thank you, yeah, thank you for having me.

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: Wow, why one hundred foot wave? Did you suddenly think

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: of a quarter fifty foot wave? You know, one hundred

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: foot waved one and I just double that.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: Well, it was always the way that I put food

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: on the table, And you know, one hundred foot wave

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: was like this uncharted territory that was elusive and maybe

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: not around, not not able to be found. And then

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: there's a few other spots we're actually looking at right now,

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: a well besides Nazaree.

19
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Wow, can you put one hundred foot wave in context

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: for me? Is that as tall as an office block?

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: Is it a.

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: Telegraph tower?

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: What is it? Two or three big Hawaiian coconut trees?

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: Pretty much is it and just.

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: Looking at it, as I said, makes me feel squeamish.

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: How do you feel when you're on it? Is it

27
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: fear all the way?

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: No? Actually, no fear, just enjoying it, just being very

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: in the moment, focusing on where you're going, focusing on

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: right in front of you, but also where you need

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: to get to at the same time. It's like stand

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: the moment, but focus on getting over there.

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Nazaree was considered unsurfable, and then the rise

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: of towing surfing, where you've got a jet ski that

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: towes you into Nazaree. Can you actually paddle in? Can

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: you paddle into nazare Can you just sit there at

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the back and say, well, he's a big waving had

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: like a demon, get on it. Yeah.

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: What happened was that there, you know Ross Clark, he's

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: a really good friend of mine. He had been there previously,

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: I think two thousand and five, and Kelly Slater and

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: a bunch of other surfers had gone there, and it's

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: a big close out, so there's it was thought that

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: it was deemed impossible to ride a wave and then

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: have the jet ski come in and get you because

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: then it's a big close out, so there's no way

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: back out. What people didn't realize is that the sideways

48
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: wedges cause the wave to cancel out, so when the

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: wedge is coming, the wave cancels out on the other side,

50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: so you can actually get over it. And it's eighty

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: feet tall, and then over here is four feet tall,

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: maybe six feet and the jet skis can handle a

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: four to six foot her, but they can't handle a

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: sixty eighty for it.

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: You've described what it feels like to be on the wave.

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: What does it feel like to be on the receiving

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: end of the wave crashing on you when it doesn't

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: go your way? What's that feel like?

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: You're totally out of control. You're at the mercy of

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 3: whatever Mother nature, of whatever she wants to do to you,

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: and you have to stay calm, and it's it's really

62
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: like being in a washing machine on spin cycle and

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: then having like King Kong shake it while you're spinning,

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: and so you're you get so dizzy when you finally

65
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: come to the surface and you boo, take that breath,

66
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: and then you're trying to gather your senses.

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: You're so dizzy.

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: You always see it's white and then it comes to

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: and then you see the white water coming at you

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: and you dive und her again. Yeah, it's uh, but

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: you have to enjoy it.

72
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: To enjoy it, Garrett, you go, you actively go looking

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: for this stuff. Excuse me, you actively go looking for

74
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: these wives.

75
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: You know, from my whole life pretty much, that's all

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 3: I've done since I was about seventeen.

77
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: Does it ever get to it? Does it get to

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: does it get to you found?

79
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Once we found Nazare, we didn't really have to surch

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: anymore because it gets so big so often.

81
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I can imagine that. So you found Nasure and

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: then someone says, hey, there's another wave. It's a two

83
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: hundred foot one, and you go, I know, I haven't

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: seen that one. I really want. My phone's dropping out.

85
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where that one is. I don't know

86
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: if I can make.

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: It to that one.

88
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: Well, your bravery, Garrett, is incredible, and it's the thrill

89
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: of it's amazing.

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: And you know, for someone that does a little bit

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: of surfing, the biggest wave I've ever caught is twelve

92
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: foot and that felt like wow, but that's massive. But

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: the twelve ft I know, like twelve foot compared to

94
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: one hundred foot? Is I kind of I kin'd even

95
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: fathom in my mind how big that surf is? So

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: good on you?

97
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: For it's different when you write a twelve foot where

98
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: when you fall you try to get up really fast. Yes, yes,

99
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: and so you actually expel a lot of energy and

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: you're like, oh, I don't think I can handle any bigger.

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: When you go bigger, you change the mind to change

102
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: the game, change the mindset, and totally relax.

103
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden you're like, well, I

104
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: can hang out here for a lot longer than I thought.

105
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 4: A lot of winners when I was younger, because in

106
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: Hawaii's flat all summer, and then the winner comes and

107
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: we hadn't surfed, and then you're going out for your

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: first big day, and it was always.

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: Nerve wracking, and those smaller days right before the winter started.

110
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: You're out there and you're getting pounded by an eight

111
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: to twelve foot wave and you're like panicking trying to

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: get up, and you're climbed for the surfers. You're going,

113
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: how the hell am I going to handle the big

114
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: ones this year? And then it's a total different mindset.

115
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: Big ones.

116
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: Okay, well I'll take that on board.

117
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: When you go for a thirteen footway.

118
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: I'll see that. The one hundred footway premier is on

119
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Fox still on Thursday seven point thirty. Garrett McNamara, thank
