Breaking: HBO inks deal for six-part Garrett McNamara documentary as he searches for “Surfing’s Everest!”

Anderson sad.

And it seems like just days ago that we were all reminded of surfing’s “Holy Grail,” its “Mt. Everest,” is the mythical 100-foot wave because it was. On January, 21st TMZ declared Oahu’s Makua Rothman bagged one and ooooee the 100-foot wave back in the spotlight.

Where it belongs.

HBO, always finger on pulse, just announced a six-part documentary following Garrett McNamara on his quest for his own.

Per Deadline:

Directed and executive produced by Chris Smith and executive produced by Emmy winner Joe Lewis, the six-part HBO Sports Documentary series 100 Foot Wave plumbs the depths of those questions through the quest of one man. The series intimately follows the decade-long odyssey of big-wave pioneer Garrett McNamara who, after visiting a small fishing village in Portugal, helped push the sport beyond the realm of imagination.

Do you think Anderson Cooper will feature?

Here’s to hoping but also Cooper appeared on HBO’s number one competitor Showtime.

Fingers crossed, in any case.

Funny..Im just about Toms age.
As good as the waves were, and I realize he was stuck there or whatever.
I’m not so sure at this age with kids, that I would be so content.
I reckon it would show I was anxious to get back to what I had to do with my kids.

Do you guys ever read what you write or do you just slap it on the webpage and assume readers are too dumb to recognize grade school level writing errors. I’ll just leave this here …..hopefully you can recognize the problem.

You know, I get the feeling he’s not really all that sorry for leading the US into the war in Vietnam.
He seems awfully smug.

This TC vid that just came out not long ago is really something … he now looks EXACTLY like Pat, I mean I know it happens but wow, and, he surfs like the best guy out bc he still is … Derrick at Pipe in his fifties (RIP) is the only dude I can think of even close to top dog at that tender age … Gebauer did used to surf Pier One with us when he was in his sixties and he was easily still by far the best at diving under sets, an f ing actual turtle lung, and Peter Cole took off, with one eye like the other Derrick, outside at Sunset in his seventies, but they both looked in slow mo when they actually stood up, Curren is my favorite champ and his father and the Islands are in his surfing like totally.

Lets face it, TC being baked and commenting on his shore side finds would be a win in any situation.

I’ll plead ignorance on this one but would this be like taking DHD taking Waleed Ali out at Kirra?

And surely they’ll use the same clip of one wave about 20 times?

I hope so.

I’m sure “Anderson” insisted on a gag.

Have Turpel narrate it for the ultimate molestation of the senses!

They could use it to torture prisoners of war.

I think Steven Wright (comedian) would outperform Joe in this role.

I’ll review it, and let you know. We have more proven methods.

We should do some animal testing first and see if it’s safe for humans. A goat on a SUP perhaps.

Banksy said the holy grail was to take less time to make the art than people would spend looking at it.
