Swell.com surf gear reviewer Bill Laity apparently spent the better part of his weekend trying to set the Guinness World Record for the longest surf session at the Huntington Beach Pier in California, according to a story in the OC Register.
At 12:25 a.m. Sunday, after nearly 14 hours in heavy rain, biting wind and all-around miserable conditions, he was “going strong,” according to Michael Figueroa of Swell, a surf-gear maker and Laity’s employer. . . “He’s a waterlogged prune of a man at this point, surfed out and sunburned,” Figueroa said.
Laity reportedly gets to take a five minute break every hour. Our question: how many waves did he have to catch between breaks? For all the answers check out the OC Register’s updated story from November 24, 2010.
