DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Green sitting comfortably maybe about 5, 6 feet from Steve here in the studio not at all crowded like a surfboard was over the weekend in Huntington Beach, Calif. Sixty-six surfers crammed onto a single longboard and stood up together for more than 10 seconds, yes, while riding a wave. Thousands cheering on the beach saw a new Guinness World Record set for most people on a surf board. Never mind the board was 42 feet long, and it looked more like the people were riding on a boat. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
