My co-worker wanted to know about the largest natural wave ridden without the aid of a tow-in. We know there have been waves ridden close to 70 feet with the aid of a jet ski tow-in, but we want to know about the biggest wave caught without any outside aid. I figure the biggest would be about 40 foot, because anything larger would be too fast-moving to be caught unaided.

I meant how high the wave was, not how high you are when you try to answer it!

That is such a good question! It does seem like all the really big waves at spots like Jaws or Mavericks are caught by tow in. My guess is its something in the 30 ft. range at Waimea maybe as far back as the 1950's, Greg Noll. Its a super good question, I will be watching for the answer!
