Surfer Rides Wave from World's Largest Cruise Ship

The recent surfing exploits around the world's largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, have captivated audiences as professional surfer Ben Gravy and an unnamed surfer rode its massive wake in Miami. Gravy, who documented his experience on YouTube, described the ship's waves as thrilling and comparable to the Death Star from 'Star Wars.' The ship, launched in January 2024, is a marvel of engineering, measuring 1,198 feet and accommodating nearly 10,000 passengers and crew. Meanwhile, in Portugal, Robyn Larg made history as the youngest British woman to surf a colossal 15-foot wave at the World Surf League Nazaré Tow Challenge, where her brother Ben secured third place in the competition. Both siblings have roots in Tiree, Scotland, and drew inspiration from each other's achievements in the competitive surfing world. These recent events highlight the dynamic and adventurous spirit of the surfing community, showcasing both man-made and natural waves.
