Maya Gabeira at Nazaré - 2014 Ride of the Year Entry
Brazilian surfer may have set new World Record after riding 100-foot storm wave off the coast of Portugal
Mr Burle's feat is even more amazing considering he had just saved a fellow Brazilian surfing friend from nearly drowning just before that.
Maya Gabeira nearly drowned and had to be resuscitated on the beach when she fell on a wave and her jet-ski partner could not get to her in time.
She was rescued unconscious and taken to hospital, where she was reportedly doing well despite suffering a broken ankle.
'Maya [Gabeira] almost died. For me, it was a big adrenaline moment to get back there after what happened,' he said.
