23-year-old Californian Alessandro Slebir may have broken the world record

23-year-old Californian Alessandro Slebir may have  broken the world record for  the largest wave  ever.
The wave was part of  a storm that  destroyed the Santa Cruz  pier last  month.
The wave  was estimated to be  33 meters high, according to  the Mavericks  rescue team, which would  break the current record of  26 meters held by Sebastian  Steudtner in Portugal.
Estimating the official  height of a wave is  quite difficult. For  Steudtner's 26-meter wave, it took 18 months for Guinness World Records to  award the  title. "Instead of the number,  the size of the wave  doesn't really matter to me. It was  honestly the biggest wave of my life and  that's all I really care about  right now," Slebir said, according to  SFGate.
The wave was caught at Mavericks near Half Moon  Bay.
