The Buzz | 66 surfers set record for most people riding a board at once
Sixty-six surfers have set a world record for most people riding a board at once.
Surf champions and local heroes were among those who hung loose on a custom built, 42-foot board off Huntington Beach on Saturday. The Orange County Register reports the 66 surfers rode a wave for 12 seconds. They broke the previous record set in Queensland, Australia about a decade ago when 47 surfers rode a wave for 10 seconds. About 5,000 spectators crowded the sand and the Huntington Beach pier to watch the attempt. Guinness World Record adjudicator Michael Empric said a separate record for whether the 1,300-pound board is the world’s largest will take a few days to determine.
