Australian pro-surfer Laura Enever has set a new world record for surfing the largest wave ever paddled into by a woman.

The 31-year-old, from North Narrabeen on Sydney's Northern Beaches, paddled into a 13.3-metre (43.6-foot) wave at the famous Outer Reef break on the north shore of Oahu, Hawai'i in January this year.

Laura Enever previously competed on the WSL Championship tour

Enever's record-breaking wave was just one foot (30cm) bigger than the previous record

Brazilian Andrea Moller's record had stood for seven years
