World's Largest Surf Board

World's Largest Surf Board

Brazilian surfer Rico de Souza evidently broke the record for surfing the world's longest surfboard. He surfed for 11 seconds on the extra-long 8.5-meter (28-foot) board at Macumba beach in Rio de Janeiro, as part of thePetrobras Longboard Classic. To set the new record, the surfer has to stay atop the board for at least 10 seconds, organizers said.

De Souza had already entered the Guinness record book previously, when he had 50 surfers catch the same wave, with 42 succeeding in staying upright for five seconds. (Link)
