Brazilian Surfer Sets New World Record For Riding The Largest Wave
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A surfer from Brazil set a new world record for riding the largest wave ever at more than 80-feet!
For his incredible ride, surfer Rodrigo Koxa also scooped up the big prize at Saturday's "Big Wave" awards in Santa Monica, California.
He rode that record-breaking wave in November 2017 in Portugal, beating the previous record of 78-feet set by Garrett McNamara in 2011.
Roxa was "totally stoked" as surfers say to receive his award.
