Counting Waves: A Crazy Surf Story

Author
Adam Anderson is a pseudonym for a former Swedish journalist (Per-Åke Sjögren), who stayed six years above the beach Praía do Norte in the small village of Sítio da Nazaré, Portugal, watching the largest waves of the world. The (still unofficial) record of the largest wave ever surfed so far was set at this beach on the 24th of February 2024. Surfer: Sebastian Steudtner, Germany. Wave height: 28,57 m (93,73 feet). The same surfer as on the cover.
