Surfer's record-breaking ride

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

It looks like it took him a few attempts, but a Brazilian surfer has broken his own record for catching a wave on the longest surfboard EVER.

Rico de Souza managed to ride the board, which is more than nine metres long, for longer than 10 seconds.

Afterwards, the 55-year-old said: "It was an exceptional wave, the wave was shaky, the board was jumping, but I managed to stand firm."
