"Big waves aren't measured in feet, but in increments of fear."

So said Buzzy Trent, and to that we can add big waves are also measured in how many X's precede the L.

We're up to three now so if XXL describes anything up to the current world record of 86 feet (Sebastian Steudtner, 2020), then another X means what..?

It's a question being asked since February 26th when both Chumbo and Sebastian Steudtner pressed the uppermost limit of wave size, with people querying the old record and wondering if a new one has been set.

While we ponder that - and while the good folk at Guiness measure it, results back in twelve months! - here's Tim's footage from the big day, plus the warm up day preceding it.
