November the 5th was another day for the books! Huge waves arrived to Praia do Norte in Nazare, Portugal. It was a special day, but not only because of it waves! Today was the first HUGE day of the season and many of the surfers were out for a mission in diferent places around the globe to receive this XXL Swell.
So the lineup wasn’t as crowded as usual, were it was really crowded today was at the cliff, were more than 5.000 people were standing under the intermittent rain watching the few surfers trying to get some bombs in stormy conditions.
Waves were over 60ft coming from every direction, the inside was as hard as it gets to navegate and the cliff was like being in a Rolling Stones concert!
As always, I let you here a Raw edit, with no music so you can enjoy a real ambient experience!

The Australian surfer, Laura Enever, has broken the world record for the largest wave ever paddled into by a woman, after the World Surf League and the Guinness World Records verified a 13.3m wave she tamed in January.

Waves are measured using video footage, the location of videographers, and objects such as jetskis and the other surfers. That day Enever was second alternate in the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational held on a break closer to the beach, meaning she would only take part if two women were injured.

Instead, she and friend Felicity Palmateer went to the Outer Reef, approximately 1km offshore, where the deep ocean meets the shallower island sea floor.

Laura Enever’s Record-Setting Ride Measured at 43.6 Feet (13.3 Meters).

Laura Enever, who is 31 years old and from North Narrabeen, Australia, successfully surfed a wave measuring 43.6 feet (13.3 meters) from trough to crest at Outer Reef, the big-wave break on the North Shore of Oahu, on January 22, 2023.

“I knew it was big when I paddled into it and then when I took off I looked down and I knew it was definitely the biggest wave I’ve ever caught,” said Enever. “I knew it was the wave of my life, the whole way it all came together and the way I committed, backed myself, told myself to go, and trusted I could do it. The ride was such a breakthrough for me and a moment that will be really special and monumental in my surf career. To get awarded this months later is really cool, I can’t believe it.

“I would never be in this position if it wasn’t for all the big wave surfers who have come before me and paved the way, especially the really brave, courageous females who have always inspired me and made me feel like I could get out there and give it a crack. So thank you to all the amazing women and I’m just constantly in awe. Andrea Moller held this record before me and it’s an honor to hold that record and keep pushing big wave surfing. And I know that the next girls, the next generation of female big wave surfers are going to do the same.”

Enever’s World Record adds to an already stellar surfing career. She was the ISA Junior World Champion and Triple Crown Rookie of the Year in 2008, and World Junior Champion in 2009. In 2011, Enever qualified for the WSL Championship Tour, where she competed for seven years, consistently finishing in the Top 10. She has gone on to compete in WSL Big Wave events and push the limits of big wave surfing.

“Huge congratulations to Laura for this incredible achievement,” said Jessi Miley-Dyer, WSL Chief of Sport. “Laura is fearless, committed, and a real inspiration, and I’m so proud to celebrate her. These World Records really allow us to shine the spotlight on athletes like Laura who are pushing the boundaries of Big Wave surfing.”

Enever was awarded the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ certificate in her hometown of Narrabeen in New South Wales, Australia, where she celebrated the accomplishment with her family and friends.

“I’ve worked my whole life to be a professional surfer and to be on the World Tour,” continued Enever. “I was there and I gave that up for this pull and urge to surf big waves. I was just thinking I just wanted to go do this for me, and to be here today and to have a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the biggest paddle, I can’t believe it.”

Enever’s record bettered Andrea Moller’s previous record by just one foot, which was caught on January 16, 2016, at Pe’ahi, Maui. Moller, an internationally recognized waterwoman, pioneer of big wave surfing, and respected paramedic, held the record for seven years. She was the first woman to paddle into a wave at Pe’ahi, the first woman to catch a wave in the prestigious Eddie Aikau big wave contest, and an advocate for equality and progression in big wave surfing.
