Dale Webster has done it again. The 62-year-old surfer from Valley Ford, California, has enjoyed his 13,000 consecutive surfing day, on April 6, 2011.

"The Daily Wavester" has widened his performance in the Guinness Book of World Records and will surely keep the mark for many decades. Having surfed at least three waves per session from September 2, 1975, Webster is the ultimate surf addict.

He challenged hurricanes, storms, rain, sharks and choppy waves. When Dale kicked off his challenge, there were no mobile phones or internet surf reports to help him find the best surf spots.

Our "Daily Wavester" says he decided to go for a world record because when his wetsuit got damaged, he wanted to surf for a full year to force the manufacturer into replacing it. At the same time he thought the record for the most consecutive days surfed was 5280, but that was actually the record (in feet) for the longest distance surfed to shore.
