A Brazilian surfer has reportedly broken a Guinness World Record by riding what may have been the biggest wave of all time at 100ft off the coast of Portugal.
Carlos Burle is believed to have beaten the world record set by Garrett McNamara from Hawaii, which was 78 feet in 2011, the Mirror reported.
After conquering the ride, Burle told Surfer Today that it was pure luck and he never know when he will be able to catch the wave.
Burle added that before his stunt, he was nervous as he hadn't surfed any wave and everyone had already had their rides, including Maya Gabeira, who almost drowned when she was knocked unconscious by a powerful wave.
