Details are still a bit blurry, but according to eye-witness accounts, big-wave hellions Rusty Long and Grant “Twiggy” Baker have broken the 100-foot barrier, catching and surfing a sky-scraper-size wave off the coast of Chile's Isla Alejandra Selkirk, several hundred miles off the coast of mainland Chile.

Classic! I had a feeling that these waters would produce the 100ft wave they have been searching for all of these years. Twiggy was at Cloudbreak on that big day last week so am wondering if he kept going across the Pacific to hook into this. Any more details Rob?
