寻找魔鬼巨浪的人
45岁的巴西人卡洛斯-伯勒（Carlos Burle）在9月28日可能创下了世界冲浪新纪录，他在葡萄牙一个叫那扎尔（ Nazar ）渔村的海滨冲过了高达百尺（30米）的巨浪，这个巨浪名为狂野致命的圣裘德巨浪（wild and deadly St. Jude storm ，named after the patron saint of lost causes)。现在就等吉尼斯世界纪录根据现场录像核实巨浪的高度。
在做此壮举之前，他还救了另外一名几乎溺水的巴西冲浪者 Maya Gabeira的性命。“I don’t think I’ve been so scared in my whole life,” Burle told surfing magazine, Stab, after the rescue. “When she hit the third bump she didn’t manage to jump it and just slammed into it.“I couldn’t find her,” Burle said. “Then I saw her again but this time she was floating face down. She was heading for the rocks. It was terrible. The worst situation I have ever faced. I raced up to her, jumped off the ski and grabbed her. I couldn’t let her go.”
如果最后的录像证明卡洛斯冲过的浪高过百尺，他就打破了46岁的夏威夷人Garrett McNamara 在2011年11月1日同样在葡萄牙渔村 Nazaré创下的78尺的世界纪录，Garrett McNamara 今年1月又在葡萄牙冲了近百尺的巨浪，这个纪录还在等待吉尼斯的确认。
Carlos Burle may have ridden the biggest wave of all time, at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal, during the Big Monday swell.
The Brazilian crew traveled to Portugal with a goal in mind. To beat the Guinness World Record for the largest wave ever surfed, which belongs to the Hawaiian hellman, Garrett McNamara.
Carlos Burle, Pedro Scooby, Felipe Cesarano, and Maya Gabeira had big hopes for the European super swell.
On the 28th October, 2013, Burle claimed one of the biggest wave ever ridden at Praia do Norte. The first pictures show that he may be above the world record set by Garrett McNamara, at 23.77 m (78 feet), measured from trough to crest, on the 1st November 2011.
"It was luck. We never know when we will be catching the wave. I still hadn't surfed any wave and everyone had already had their rides. Maya almost died. For me, it was a big adrenaline moment to get back there after what happened", reveals Carlos Burle.
Carlos Burle, 45, from Pernambuco, has been living the adrenaline life of the big wave riders. In 2001, he rode a 22-meter (72 foot) wave, in Mavericks, Northern California. His wave at Praia do Norte will be analyzed by the Guinness World Records.
