Surf World Record Attempt
As a surfer, short of a Great White sighting,  this is pretty much my worst nightmare... i get irritated if there are more than 10 dudes in the water let alone 120. A new Guiness World Record was achieved at Quebra Mar Beach in Santos, Brazil on Sunday when a still to be verified 90 (some sources say 100, some say 83) surfers stood on the same wave for at least 5 seconds. The previous world record was achieved at the same event last year in the shark infested waters of Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa where the unoffical tally of 73 surfers rode the same wave smashing the previous record of 44 in Ireland.

Event sponsor Earthwave, founded by the Kahuna Surfing Academy in Cape Town, sought to have surfers take tries at the record Sunday in nine different countries, from Australia to Reunion, South Africa, Portugal, Britain, the United States, Brazil, Argentina and then Tahiti, to highlight the problem of climate change.

"Most important was we were able to call attention to the very serious problem of global warming," said Rico de Souza, Earthwave organizer in Brazil.
