The video is from October 2020, but it took experts 18 months to measure the wave and announce the record.

Reblogged 2 years ago from www.youtube.comAfter so much uncertainty, today a new Guinness World Record was released for the largest wave ever surfed in the world!!!
At 12 noon today, May 24, 2022, Sebastian Steudtner has surfed a gigantic wave of 26.21 meters (86 foot) is officially the one who obtains the new Guinness record for the largest wave ever surfed, a day that will be marked forever in the history of surfing.
Sebastian Steudtner becomes the third surfer to obtain this record in Praia do Norte, Nazaré Portugal.
Garret McNamarra obtained the record in 2011 with a wave of 23.77 meters, later surpassed by the Brazilian Rodrigo Koxa with a wave of 24.38 meters in 2017 who held the Guinness record for 5 years, until today.
The wave with which Sebastian takes the record is a wave surfed in the swell of 29 October 2020, without a doubt what was the biggest swell of that winter on the Portuguese coast. Deposited in the wave by nothing more and nothing less than “Alemao de Maresias” who is considered by many the best pilot in the world in a perfect maneuver that left Sebastian in the perfect point to start what was the surfing of the wave more great never surfed.
Other surfers tried to beat Rodrigo Koxa’s record: Vinicious DosSantos campaigned with a surfed right this winter. So did Lucas Chumbo, who surfed a wave that competed with Sebastian in that same swell and another wave surfed this last January 7 2022, a wave that is still in the process of being measured and leaves open the question of how long Sebastian will be able to maintain this new record.

Reblogged 2 years ago from www.youtube.comThere was plenty of hype for the biggest swell of the year and it definitely lived up to expectations. Things were a little slow in the morning, but by lunchtime it was fully nuking over at Uluwatu.
There were a few guys towing into huge waves at the Bombie, and quite a big crowd paddling at Outside Corner. We decided to film the Bombie exclusively for this session, and got as close as we could to the action. We hope you enjoy our short recap of the afternoon.
This video features land & drone footage.
