In surfing, as in most physical endeavours, the boundaries of performance creep, rather than rush, forward. Just as Olympic world records are ticked off by mere hundredths of a second, so too are the criteria for surfing - higher, faster, deeper - broken in increments.
The exception to this rule occurred over the course of one hour in January 1990.
