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

From back when Ina played Cats Organized Neatly.

• Optus is investigating the cause of Wednesday's nationwide outage.

• Experts say telcos have been cost cutting, and have not properly safeguarded systems

• They say the government should legislate redundancies in major telco systems

[Industry expert Mark] Gregory said Optus and Telstra have likely concluded that building highly advanced safeguards to their infrastructure and software is too expensive and have been allowed by the government to prioritise profit over the reliability of the service.
