🌊 The Temple of Surf Podcast: Riding Giants with Garrett McNamara – The Man Who Chased 100-Foot Waves 🌊

This week on The Temple of Surf Podcast, we are honored to welcome one of the most fearless and legendary big wave surfers of all time Garrett McNamara.

Known for his incredible achievements at Nazaré and his relentless pursuit of the world's biggest waves, Garrett has not only pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in surfing but has inspired a new generation to redefine their own limits.

From the early days of charging Waimea Bay to becoming the face of Portugal’s monster swells, Garrett’s story is one of pure courage, vision, and unwavering dedication. In this episode, he takes us deep into his journey from the spiritual side of wave riding to the intense physical preparation required to survive and thrive in conditions most would never dare face.

We talk about the new season of “100 Foot Wave,” the critically acclaimed HBO series that documents his groundbreaking efforts in Nazaré. Garrett opens up about what it was like to live under that pressure, build a team, and work with the local community in Nazaré to put the small fishing village on the map of surf history. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes moments that didn’t make the show, and Garrett’s personal reflections on how the project changed not only his career, but his life.

In this conversation, Garrett also touches on the mental game of surfing giant waves. What keeps him calm in moments of chaos? How does he deal with fear? And what lessons from the ocean does he carry into everyday life? It’s a powerful reflection on the connection between nature, mindset, and purpose.

We also dive into the legacy of 100 foot wave, Garrett shares how his mission is evolving as he continues to inspire the world with his story. Whether you’re a surfer, a thrill-seeker, or simply someone seeking motivation to follow your own big dreams, this episode will leave you moved.
