What If You Tried to Surf a Tsunami?

The biggest wave that someone has surfed on was 24.4 meters tall (80 feet). It happened in November of 2018. Tsunamis can be around this height but for our purposes let's go a little bigger and say ours is 30 meters tall (100 feet). But if you want to surf on a tsunami — and we don’t recommend you do it — you’ll most likely have to travel to Japan or the Philippines.
