Australian recognised for taming 13.3m monster wave in Hawaii‘I knew it was the wave of my life,’ says veteran of WSL tour
Australian surfer Laura Enever has officially broken the world record for the largest wave ever paddled into by a woman, after the World Surf League and the Guinness World Records verified a 13.3-metre wave she tamed in January.
The 31-year-old spent seven seasons on the WSL championship tour before pursuing opportunities in big wave surfing. She caught the record-breaking wave at Outer Reef on the North Shore of Oahu earlier this year but the feat was only confirmed by record-keepers on Thursday.
