Check back in a few hours for video of the 100-foot wave.
Details are still a bit blurry, but according to eye-witness accounts, two unknown South American big-wave hellions have broken the 100-foot barrier, catching and surfing a sky-scraper-size wave off the coast of Chile’s Isla Alejandra Selkirk, several hundred miles off the coast of mainland Chile.
SURFER received the breaking news via satellite phone from a local Arica photographer, who accompanied the big-wave duo deep into the Pacific in hopes of scoring waves on what he called “Chile’s Cortes Bank.” The photographer was shell-shocked but managed to upload the accompanying photo of the two dropping in on the monster cold-water right-hander before stormy conditions terminated his sat-phone connection.
