Guinness World Record for the highest number of riders on a single wave at Muizenberg

South African surfers take to the water in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the highest number of riders on a single wave at Muizenberg in Cape Town, September 2, 2007. The surfers posted an unoficial tally of 71 riders standing on a single wave for more than five seconds, easily surpassing the official record of 44. This total, however, still has to be ratified by the body, as does the 73 recorded at the same venue last year.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, South African surfers gather at Muizenberg in Cape Town to make history by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the highest number of riders on a single wave. The date is September 2,2007, and anticipation fills the air as these fearless individuals prepare to conquer the mighty ocean. With determination etched on their faces, they take to the water with unwavering courage. As waves crash around them, they unite in a remarkable display of skill and teamwork. Against all odds, an unofficial tally reveals an astonishing count of 71 riders standing tall on a single wave for over five seconds. This extraordinary feat effortlessly surpasses the previous official record of 44 riders. However, before claiming victory, their achievement must be ratified by the esteemed governing body responsible for maintaining such records. Similarly impressive was last year's recorded count of 73 at this very venue. Photographer Mike Hutchings expertly captures this momentous occasion through his lens. His image encapsulates not only the physical prowess displayed but also showcases the indomitable spirit that drives these surfers to push boundaries and challenge what is deemed possible. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Reuters Images, we are reminded that human potential knows no bounds when passion and dedication converge harmoniously with nature's raw power.
