Cape Town surfers break Guinness World Record at Earthwave 2009

More than 100 surfers rode a wave at the Earthwave beach festival in Muizenberg, Cape Town on Sunday to break the Guinness World Record for the most surfers riding the same wave.
Paul Botha of Kahuna Promotions, the founders of the event, told local media "We estimated that there were more than 120 surfers on the fifth of the seven waves surfed at Muizenberg during Earthwave". The old record was set in Santos, Brazil last year when exactly 100 surfers took the same wave.



The Earthwave Global Surf Challenge, which the record attempt forms part of, is involving surfers from around the world to break the Guinness World Record for the most surfers riding one wave while raising awareness of Global Warming and what can be done to reduce climate change.
