D8 EZ M2 THE WASHINGTON POST.WEDNESDAY, MAY 25 , 2022
SCOREBOARDBY NOAH SMITHPro surfer Sebastian Steudtner
was on his board, bobbing in the
waters off Nazaré, Portugal, when
he saw a lone monster approach-
ing, steadily growing as it rum-
bled closer. He nodded toward his
Jet Ski driver and held the tow
rope tightly.
“I knew it,” Steudtner, 37, re-
members thinking. “Get me this
wave now.”
As the driver, Alemão Mare-
sias, took a looping route into the
wave, Steudtner could see the
lighthouse, town and beach. He
was about 60 yards behind the
peak when he released the rope.
He could hear his surfboard chat-
tering and the wind roaring
across his ears.
“I’ll never forget what I saw
when I started to drop behind the
peak and saw the entire wave,” he
said. “I started to accelerate like
crazy. I had tears from the wind
speed and was just holding on
with everything I had — not doing
anything funny, just hanging on.
“You don’t feel the size,” he
added. “You feel the power. I felt
the most power of any wave I’ve
surfed at Nazaré.”
That memorable ride was in
October 2020, and it took a full 18
months for the German surfer to
learn just how big the wave actu-
ally was that day. The World Surf
League and a team of scientists,
along with Guinness World Rec-
ords, revealed Tuesday that
Steudtner’s wave measured 86
feet tall, making it the largest ever
surfed.
The record eclipses Brazilian
Rodrigo Koxa’s previous mark,
set in 2017 at Nazaré, a wave that
measured 80 feet.
For Steudtner, going from the
pounding waves off Portugal’s Sil-
ver Coast to the record books
involved a complicated, exhaus-
tive measurement process. Tradi-
tionally, measuring wave heights
in the surfing community has
been fraught, a kind of guesswork
bolstered by a surfer’s experience,
with the unit of measurement
often being the human body
(“head-high”). The surfing com-
munity also has a notable, funda-
mental schism in determining
wave heights. The Hawaiian scale
involves an estimate from behind
the wave, which produces a much
smaller number than a crest-to-
trough measurement from the
front.
Despite technological advanc-
es, the process for accurately
measuring big waves still in-
volves scientific rigor and creativ-
ity. Experts pore over photo-
graphs, trying to determine the
most reliable measurement refer-
ence point.
“You want the largest ruler
possible in the image and to
validate its size,” said Adam Fin-
cham, a University of Southern
California associate professor of
engineering who specializes in
geophysical fluid dynamics and
led the analysis of Steudtner’s
wave.
While Jet Skis — which are
used to tow surfers into the
world’s biggest waves — are the
gold standard because their size
is known and does not change,
they are usually not present dur-
ing key moments of a surfer’s
ride. An entire body is also less
useful, according to Fincham, be-
cause surfers will bend their
knees or otherwise change their
height during a ride.
The standard Fincham and his
colleagues from Scripps Institu-
tion of Oceanography at the Uni-
versity of California San Diego
and the Kelly Slater Wave Compa-
ny settled on this year was Steudt-
ner’s lower leg, from his heel to
his kneecap.
“That distance does not change
since you can’t bend your lower
leg,” Fincham said.
The team asked Steudtner to
measure that length, which effec-
tively gave them a ruler for the
image of the surfer’s ride.
The experts must study the
image closely, accounting for dis-
tortions that might misrepresent
the wave’s size. Different angles
and camera lenses could muddle
the process.
To account for how to correct
the images, Fincham traveled to
Nazaré and stood at the locations
where photos and videos of
Steudtner’s ride were captured,
calculating the camera angles
and the distance of the camera to
the wave face. He also inter-
viewed the two photographers
whose imagery was used to ana-
lyze the wave, learning more
about the equipment they used
and how they leveled their camer-
as.
With this information in hand,
the analysis team used 3D model-
ing software to geometrically cor-
rect the photos and convert pixels
to inches. Using the lower leg
standard, they could begin to
measure the wave from trough to
crest.
Since he began analyzing
waves a few years ago, Fincham
said, the science has evolved with
a better understanding of camera
parameters. He also said using
the lower leg as a reference point
is a step forward, though he noted
that not all surfers keep their
front leg as perpendicular as
Steudtner.
Asked about his assessment of
the accuracy of their work, Fin-
cham said, “That’s a difficult
question,” and noted his team
arrived at a number for which
there was consensus.
“When you look for a record...
you need a number. You can’t say,
‘It was just about that,’ ” he said.
“We’re comfortable with it.”
While some might still think of
surfing as a carefree activity, Fin-
cham said he and his team kept
the stakes of big wave riding in
mind during their work.
“These guys are risking their
lives, and you have to respect that
and take it very seriously,” he said.
“We really want to do the best job
we can so they have some confi-
dence in it, and we owe it to them
to do our best job.”
While Steudtner’s ride is now
authenticated by Guinness World
Records, there are others who’ve
claimed to have surfed even big-
ger waves. Even Steudtner has
ridden waves that some have esti-
mated to have topped 100 feet.
But sometimes the photos and
videos don’t support the claims,
and other times surf officials and
their teams of scientists study the
evidence and find something
lacking.
Given the difficulty of accu-
rately measuring a wave’s size, the
World Surf League l imits the
time-intensive process to rides
that are honored at the annual
Red Bull Big Wave Awards.
Steudtner’s big wave was eligible
for review because he won the
Biggest Tow Award in 2021.
“No one’s saying this is the
biggest wave ever surfed in the
world,” Fincham said. “It certain-
ly might be, but this is the biggest
certified wave. There may have
been a bigger wave surfed; there’s
just no photo of it.”
While Steudtner is proud to
have the record, he does not see it
as the most important part of his
story.
“Being from Germany and Aus-
tria, I wasn’t meant to be a surfer.
Anything that you can dream up
and set your sight on, if you never
give up and pursue it, you can
reach it,” he said.
When next season approaches,
he said, he will be ready for an
even bigger bomb, though record-
chasing is not what drives him.
“It sets me free,” he said of life
on the water. “It’s like freedom.”Surfing a record w ave
was just t he start of ride
OCTAVIO PASSOS/GETTY IMAGESSebastian Steudtner, a 37-year-old surfer from Germany, rode a
record 86-foot wave in 2020 off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal.
Taking on 8 6-foot giant
took guts. Determining
its size took 1 8 months.HOCKEYStanley Cup playoffs
