108-Foot Wave Surfed at Mavericks

California Surfer Alessandro “Alo” Slebir Potentially Sets New World Record with Monumental Wave Ride

Alessandro “Alo” Slebir, a 23-year-old surfer from California, is making waves in the surfing community after potentially setting a new world record for surfing the largest wave ever recorded. Known for its formidable and challenging waves, the Mavericks surf spot near Half Moon Bay provided a thrilling backdrop for Slebir's remarkable feat.

Braving the turbulent storm waters just south of San Francisco, Slebir managed to ride a wave reportedly measuring an astonishing 108 feet in height. This ride could eclipse the current Guinness World Record held by Sebastian Steudtner from Germany, who surfed an 86-foot wave off the coast of Norte, Portugal in 2020.

The surfing world eagerly awaits official measurements and verification of Slebir’s achievement. His daring endeavor not only illustrates his exceptional skill and bravery but also highlights the allure and peril of tackling nature's most formidable waves. If confirmed, Slebir's accomplishment will mark a historic moment in the sport, setting a new benchmark for surfers worldwide.
