Laura Enever, 31-years-old, beat the previous record by just a foot when she tackled a 43.6 feet wave in Hawaii.
An Australian surfer has broken the record for the biggest-ever paddle-in wave surfed by a woman. Laura Enever set a Guinness World Record on 22 January when she surfed a 43.6ft wave at Outer Reef on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The Australian called the wave 'a gift' as she described the 'perfect spot' she was in moments before she set a new record.
And that's why I say it was such a gift, I was just right in the perfect spot and I turned and I had to take a few paddles. 'And I felt it pick me up and I looked down the face and I knew it was big when I was paddling into it but it wasn't until I looked down the face and was like, it's a long way down!' Enever's accomplishment was certified by Guinness World Records on Thursday at a ceremony in Sydney. Paddle-in waves mean a surfer entered the currents unassisted.
