“I would never be in this position if it wasn’t for all the big wave surfers who have come before me and paved the way,” Enever said. “Especially the really brave, courageous females who have always inspired me.”

The previous record holder, Brazilian surfer Andrea Moller, also set her record on a Hawaiian beach.
