Surfers crowd wave for world record
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Surfers around the world may complain about crowded conditions, but for dozens of South Africa wave riders it was the more the merrier as they lined up to break a world record by riding a single wave.
全世界的冲浪爱好者都会抱怨如此拥挤的冲浪环境,但对于南非数十名冲浪者而言,人越多他们越高兴,因为他们将一起站在同一个波浪上冲破世界纪录。
Organisers of an event on Sunday that saw 73 surfers -- ages 7 to 67 -- ride the same wave for five seconds say they broke a Guinness Book of Records best of 44 people in Ireland.

More than 1,000 onlookers watched from the beach near Cape Town and videographers documented the stunt, but the results have yet to be officially verified.
1000多名观众在开普敦附近海岸观看此次冲浪活动,活动全程也被摄像机记录了下来,但此次冲浪人数是否打破世界纪录还没有最后得到官方证实。
