He's surfing without fins!
Adrenaline junkie Brad Domke has entered the record books after catching the biggest wave ever on a skimboard.
The Florida daredevil was caught on camera gliding down the wall of water almost 10 times his height — on the half-surfboard sized panel.
Dramatic footage shows the 25-year-old conquering the sensational surf in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, earlier this month.
He's seen speeding along before being caught up by the swell. But, still standing, he then re-emerges and flips out into the ocean.
Experts say that, while still unofficial, they believe it was biggest wave ever conquered on a skimboard — which, unlike a surfboard, does not have a fin,reports Surfer Today.

Video of the stunt, uploaded to YouTube on Saturday, has already been seen more than 190,000 times.
"Brad Domke called us up a couple of weeks ago psyching on some swell that was supposed to hit Puerto Escondido, or something," his sponsor Exile wrote in the clip's description.
"He needed some help getting there to ride beasts on a finless board like no one else on Earth can," it said.
"Given that Domke has been our boy for over a decade now and that he tends to deliver, we were happy to help him make the trip," it added.
