A California surfer may have broken a world record when he shredded a wave estimated to be 108 feet tall.

Alessandro `Alo` Slebir, was surfing with friends at Mavericks, near Half Moon Bay, California, USA, when he caught the enormous wave.

`That wave was so tall that it was sucking so much water coming back at you that it was a weird feeling, feeling the friction of the water underneath the surfboard. I`ve never felt that on really any other wave that I`ve ever caught,`Slebir said.

If the wave`s height is confirmed by Guinness World Records and the World Surf League, Slebir will hold the record for the largest wave surfed -a title currently held by Sebastian Steudtner, who rode an 86-foot wave off the coast of Portugal in 2020.•
