It is supposed to be 66'--that video is a clip from a film documentary about a Billabong World Pro competition (it was a pre-comp stunt). Much like anything else, the rider claims a world record, but I know a 70' ride was documented last year and Laird Hamilton claims to be releasing a movie soon in which he rides an 80' tube.
Whatever--anything over 20' and this dude is doing a cut back--not going to guess on holding my breath under that curl once it falls!
