A 23-year-old Santa Cruz surfer may have broken the world record to become the first person to ride a 100-foot wave.

The Ucluelet wave’s significance lies not just in its height, but in its proportion to surrounding waves. Johannes Gemmrich, a physicist from the University of Victoria, noted that it was ...

In the next few weeks, we will confirm the height using the same method used to measure at Nazare.” Slebir’s wave was recorded by several camera angles, including from photographers positioned ...

It’s too early to know if Slebir truly did break the world record. Judging surf wave heights is inherently difficult and contentious, and Frank Quirarte, a member of Mavericks Rescue ...

"The wave was ridden almost perfectly and was extremely well documented so the judges should have a relatively easy path to coming up with a face height. Moments like this only happen every few ...

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 ...

In remembrance of the 325th anniversary of the last time the Cascadia Subduction Zone lost its grip, on Jan. 26, 1700, ...

Most publicized buoy observations provide only the combined wave height, the dominant period and the dominant swell direction -- despite the fact that most of the buoys provide much more detailed ...

Thus, the P wave height becomes larger. The ECG criteria for diagnosing right atrial enlargement (RAE) are as follows: The P wave amplitude in lead II > 2.5 mm, or The upward deflection of the P ...
