The Pan, from base to handle, measured in at a whopping 14.6 feet long. The original âWorlds Largest Frying Panâ was used from 1941-1948 and still can be seen in downtown Long Beach, right next to the giant Spitting Razor Clam wooden sculpture at 5th Street South and Pacific [map].
1. Mark Parsons, Cortes Bank. In reality, the official record for the highest wave ever surfed goes to Mike Parsons for the 70-plus-footer he surfed off California's Cortes Bank on January 5, 2008. (Ken Bradshaw reportedly surfed an 80- to 85-foot wave off Oahu in 1998, but the photos taken from the beach were too far away to determine the exact size.) Parsons's ride netted him a Guinness World Record, $15,000, and a Honda jet ski from the Billabong XXL Biggest Wave Award, which has been handing out prizes to surfers who have conquered the world's largest waves since 2001.
