Australian Surfer Laura Enever Sets Women's Record for Largest Paddle-in Wave at 43.6ft in Hawaii

Record-breaking feat officially certified by Guinness World Records and World Surf League, surpassing previous seven-year record held by Brazilian surfer Andrea Moller by just one foot.

Australian surfer Laura Enever set a new women's record for the largest paddle-in wave ever surfed, measuring 43.6 feet.
The record was up from the previous best set seven years ago by Brazilian surfer Andrea Moller, which was 42 feet.
Enever achieved the record on the Outer Reef in Oahu, Hawaii, in January 2023, in a surf break known as the Himalayas.
Enever began her surfing career at age 11 and competed on the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour for seven years, before pursuing big wave surfing.
The surf was captured on video, which was used by the Guinness World Records along with other detailed information about the site, location and wave to verify its height.
Enever's achievement was celebrated by the surfing community, including the WSL chief of sport Jessi Miley-Dyer, and seven times world surfing champion Layne Beachley.
