  • Santa Cruz surfer Alo Slebir rode a gigantic wave on Christmas Eve, sparking speculation about a new world record.
  • The wave is estimated to be over 100 feet tall, but precise measurements are challenging due to the nature of big waves.
  • Experts use a process called photogrammetry to determine wave height, which involves measuring the surfer and comparing it to the wave.
  • The current world record stands at 86 feet, set in Nazaré, Portugal, raising the stakes for potential new records.
  • The next official decision on records will take place in September, creating a buzz in the surfing community.
