A British surfer ‘breaks the world record for riding the biggest wave’, in a yet-to-be-confirmed surfing accomplishment filmed in Nazare, Portugal.
Tom Butler took on a huge swell at Nazaré in Portugal on Friday (December 14) estimated to be more than 100ft tall (30m).
Onlookers and surfing experts have said he had beaten the previous record of 80ft – set in November 2017 by Brazilian Rodrigo Koxa.
The record is unlikely to be confirmed until WSL Big Wave Awards, which take place in April 2019.
Video seen here shows Butler riding the monster wave in real-time, followed by a slow-motion replay at half-speed.
Butler was towed into his wave by German big wave surfer Sebastian Steudtner. Also on his team was Maya Gabeira, the woman who holds the record for riding the biggest wave.

HOLIDAY DEAL! GET THE LIFESTYLE! Bring a little piece of the California to your door. From our beach to you! This Coco Coir doormat 18 x 30 inch is deeply inked with dark navy colored “GONE SURFING” and makes any entryway look insanely cool. Vinyl backing covers the enter surface to ensure no slide or slipping. At nearly 7 pounds, it sticks in place where it’s laid. The one-inch coir is gentle enough for bare feet and rugged enough for dirty boots. We place our doormats at our entrance way, inside and outside to catch sand or dirt. Drop your flip flops, that wet towel and surfboard on it! Wipe those sandy toes & stop tracking it into your home. Practical, fun and long lasting. Best practice for coir mats is under cover to maintain its shape and beauty. This mat can take a good amount of rain & dry out (yes, we tried it) – this does shorten its lifespan if done consistently so we recommend putting it where it has some reasonable protection- porch cover, etc. We pride ourselves on this thick, heavy duty mat that will bring you years of joy! This is not just a mat, it’s a calling card! So, head out for some good surf & Aloha- from Gone Surfing!
