Potential new world record...

with 28,57 m . The current world record, also held by Steudtner, is 26.21m (86.4ft), which was achieved at Nazaré in 2020. During the XXL swell, the drone prototype was used for quick and precise wave measurement for the first time. Helping to surf the biggest waves possible, Steudtner developed a new surfboard technology with his partners to significantly optimize his surfboard over the past three years. Using the latest simulation methods and wind tunnel validations, the water and air resistances were successfully reduced. As a result, with the new board, Steudtner can now reach speeds of up to 100 km/h, compared to the previous 80 km/h, which now enabled Steudtner to ride the potential next record wave.
