Australian pro-surfer Laura Enever has set a new world record for surfing the largest wave ever paddled into by a woman.
The 31-year-old, from North Narrabeen on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, paddled into a 13.3-metre (43.6-foot) wave at the famous Outer Reef break on the north shore of Oahu, Hawai’i in January this year.
- Laura Enever previously competed on the WSL Championship tour
- Enever’s record-breaking wave was just one foot (30cm) bigger than the previous record
- Brazilian Andrea Moller’s record had stood for seven years
That must have been at the Eddie right? I was there for that. Absolutely epic day. I only have videos from that day, but those waves were shockingly big. It was like watching an apartment building size wave.
Also, like I don’t know how anyone could judge half foot of difference in a wave that size. The waves intensity depends on so much more than just it’s size, like who cares. Buggaz was massive and were snapping people’s boards.
