A 44-year-old Hawaiian surfer has entered the Guinness Book of Records for riding the biggest wave ever thought to have been ridden.

Last November Garrett McNamara caught a 78ft wave off the coast of Portugal, beating the previous 2008 record by more than a foot.

Right on both counts Dazz.
But practising? Not for that stuff. Don't want to become a statistic.

Those guys who do that are crazy  :) but good on 'em.
Just rather them than me.
I get a bit nervous if the bath water's too deep.
