Original Note:
The claimed 115-foot wave length is disputed. This video shows Sebastian Steudtner's 2018 WSL Big Wave Awards entry, with unverified wave length. His verified world record is riding an 86-foot wave in October 2020 which still stands today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTgAqH9MEeg&t=15s&pp=ygUfc2ViYXN0aWFuIHN0ZXVkdG5lciBuYXphcmUgMjAxOA%3D%3D https://www.forbes.com/sites/duncanmadden/2022/06/23/german-surfer-breaks-world-record-for-biggest-wave-ever-surfed/?sh=517b6a2440a1
