A 48-year-old British surfer has surfed a wave for 12.8 miles (20.5 kilometers) for 64 minutes, in Kampar River, Sumatra, Indonesia. Steve King challenged the croc-infested waters of the Indonesian tidal bore and rode a wave for more than one hour to smash this previous Guinness World Record. The railway engineer also decided to perform a headstand, during the endless wave ride. King had already set a record, in 2006, when he surfed 7.6 miles (12.2 kilometers), on the River Severn, the longest British river.
