Guinness record set for most surfers riding wave
Orange County Register ^ | June 20, 2015 | Laylan Connelly

Long-time Huntington Beach surfer Gary Sahagen had a prediction about how the world record attempt to get the most people riding one wave would go down.

"It's either going to be spectacular, or a spectacle," Sahagen said, before joining 66 other surfers crammed onto a 42-foot board on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier.

Turns out, it was a lot of both.

I’m a Landlubber, and even *I* think that’s pretty cool! :)

During the 1950’s and 1960’s, we frequently went to Huntington Beach State Park, which is south of the pier. If you took Beach Blvd. to get there, you drove through bean fields, and if you took Golden West, it was all dairy farms.

Now, if they did that on Oahu’s north shore in winter, it would really be something, not just a stunt...........

Long time used-to-be resident of Fountain Valley here. Used to love surfing, or pretending to surf, next to the pier.

Next stunt could be pulling it along the east coast shore with a giant shark bite out of the side. to go qlong with the jaws thread.

You mean 660 don’t you. I think it would be another record to have 2 people with six toes on the same surf board.

Next stunt might be to actually ride a wave, not just pile that many people on a board.

Check out the slideshow at the link, no waves at all. They rode nothing.

We could probably find 3 surfers with 6 toes.
