I hate this tragic event but ..
1. this is why “good” photographers are so needed
2. these are the perfect scenes for wide angles and why everyone should have a 16-24mm focal length
23-year-old Californian Alessandro Slebir may have broke the world record for largest wave ever surfed.
The wave was part of the storm that demolished the Santa Cruz Wharf last month.
The wave is believed to be 108 ft tall, according to Mavericks Rescue Team, which would beat the current record of 86-feet in Portugal held by Sebastian Steudtner.
Judging official wave heights is pretty difficult. For Steudtner’s 86-foot wave, it took 18 months for Guinness World Records to give him the title.
“Regardless of the number, it really doesn’t matter how big the wave was to me. It was really the biggest wave of my life and that’s all I really care about at the moment,” Slebir said, according to SFGate.
The wave was caught at Mavericks near Half Moon Bay.

Fernando Carmona should be suspended (if not charged with assault) for this disgraceful behavior.
If you agree, RT this for maximum exposure so all NFL scouts see it, too
