On January 10, 2023, Lenny rode a towering wave off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal, measuring an astonishing 100 feet (30.5 meters). The colossal wave dwarfed Lenny and his surfboard, creating a breathtaking and terrifying spectacle. Witnesses gasped in awe as the surfer soared down the face of the wave, skillfully navigating its massive curls and whitewater. Lenny’s record-breaking ride has sent shockwaves through the surfing community and beyond. It is the culmination of years of training, determination, and risk-taking. He previously held the record with a 90-foot wave surfed in 2018. In an interview after the historic event, Lenny said, “It was a dream come true. I’ve been chasing this wave for so long, and to finally get it is an incredible feeling.” The massive wave was the result of a rare confluence of conditions, including a powerful winter swell, strong winds, and favorable bathymetry. Lenny said he knew it was a special opportunity and “couldn’t pass it up.” Experts praised Lenny’s skill and courage for conquering such a massive wave. Former Big Wave World Champion Mike Parsons called the feat “unbelievable” and said it was a testament to Lenny’s “fearlessness and ability to ride the most challenging waves in the world.” Lenny’s world record will likely stand for years to come. It serves as a reminder of the human potential to achieve incredible feats when passion, determination, and skill intersect.
