Surfers are pretty daring people. Brazilian Carlos Burle decided to prove it and set a world record.
To do this, he went to Portugal, where he conquered the highest wave that his fellow surfers had ever managed to climb.
Of course, since then his name has been captured in the pages of the Guinness Book of Records.
A man surfed in a storm dubbed 'St. Jude'.
It is known that the bad weather caused a lot of trouble in Great Britain and European countries before it reached Portugal.
According to experts, the waves of "Saint Jude" that the Brazilian was riding were just echoes of a fierce storm.
Nevertheless, surfers and onlookers from all over the world came to ride and just gawk at this spectacle.
The aforementioned Carlos Burle, in front of the astonished public, rode his board to the crest of a 30-meter wave.
For reference, 30 meters is the height of a ten-story building, only in the abyss of a raging ocean.
Previously, the world record holder was Garrett McNamara, who rode a wave 24 meters high.
