After so much uncertainty, today a new Guinness World Records was released for the largest wave ever surfed in the world!!!
At 12 noon today, May 24, 2022 in Nazaré Portugal, Sebastian is officially the one who obtains the Guinness World Record and made official by the World Surf League. 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, a gigantic wave of 26.21 meters (86 foot), 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.

Just absolutely phenomenonal!! WOW!!
if a surfer surfs a 200ft wave and no one sees it .did he surf it? hell yeah.
Insane
Wow…this was incredible. I would be absolutely, beyond terrified!!!😳
Fun facts: These giant waves were generated by your mom diving into the water at the other side of the world 🙂
What’s the margin of error in these mostly subjective measuring methods?
I'd say it's overhead..lol it's a gargantuous
RIGHTEOUS!!
like Squirt the turtle say..
swoop.. it roll it punch it.
Goosebumps!!
Doesn't even look safe on the building for me!
🏄♂️😳😅♥️

I like how the waves are measured and rounded to the nearest foot, and then translated into meters with 4 significant figures, as if they are precise to the centimeter.
I work in a desert park where we get 8 inches of rain annually, but in the metric system the park says we get an average of 20.32cm of rain… good to know the average is known to the tenth of a milimeter…
It must be realised that these waves are not as big as you are being told. Long lens shots from high up do not tell the truth.
Congratulations 🔥🔥
Ride the barrel and get pitted.
Incredible the velocity that the surfer got in the wave.
If this is the new record for the biggest wave ever surfed, the 100 foot wave still a legend?🤔
Esta si es la ola mas grande del mundo, pero la ola de la película Interestelar era mas grande 😉
All I have to say is WOW…
Namara ur record. It was. lol Whos nest to TRY?
He’s not coming back …….
lindo, espetacular, os tomates nestes homens e mulheres devem ser gigantes.
The on that landed on him was way higher, but he didn`t make it out so I feel it`s right to not count those. Also he is one of the handful that doesn`t shoulder hop the waves in Nazare, taking a deep line every time and surfing the highest part of the wave. I`ve always felt that his 2018 monster was way over 30m though.
No, he didn't surf it today, he surfed it on October 2020. It's just today that Guinnness has certified the record, that's all.
