Garrett McNamara has nearly survived a heavy wipeout at Mavericks, Half Moon Bay, in Northern California. The Hawaiian big wave surfer paddled into one of the biggest Mavericks waves of all time, air-dropped it, rode it for a couple of seconds and then and fell into the abyss about halfway down the face of the giant. McNamara, 48, bodysurfed the remaining part of the wave until getting caught by the massive whitewater avalanche. The Guinness World Record holder was immediately rescued and pulled out of the water by a jet ski.
