When it comes to breaking records, some choose the safer route: opting to put straws in their mouths. Some, on the other hand, enjoy being towed into 30-metre waves by a jetski. This was the gambit of one Carlos Burle, in an attempt to break the world record for biggest wave ever surfed, held by Garret McNamara, who successfully carved a 23-metre behemoth just two years ago.
On a stormy day in Praia do Norte, Portugal, Carlos was pulled into a bulbous grey swell of water that quickly turned into a monster – world record-breaking 30-metre (100ft) monster. Somehow, the Brazilian managed to stay on his feet and see the wave out – how he was not pinned down by hundreds of tonnes of water we’ll never know.
