I know Greg Noll had his pic taken on a wave 40+ feet high at Wiamea Bay. Since that famous shot was taken I have heard about places off Baja, possibly Todos Santos, which is accessible only by boat and jet skiis. Some of the surf there gets up to 65 feet. Could that be the place?? I don't know. If you have any pictures or can provide a website where I can find this info it would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It depends on what you define as "riding a wave". There are "tow-in" sufers who rely on "jetskis" to tow them into waves. These waves are so large and travel so fast that it is impossible for a human-propelled board to match its speed. The traditionalist of the sport do not consider that truly "surfing the wave". There is a contest that awards, both the surfer and photographer a monetary award if they can produce a picture proving they rode the biggest wave. I do know in the past that a prize was awarded to a team capturing a picture at Todos Santos.
Peahi aka Jaws, off of Maui is arguably the largest waves ridden. Check out the site below to get an idea of what monsters these guys are riding. Traditional surfing or tow-in, these waves are huge!!
