Woman sets crowd surfing record at age 99

Pauline Kana, aged 99, crowd surfed at a Brantley Gilbert concert in Bellville, Texas on 2 May, setting a Guinness World Record. Crowd surfing means being passed over the heads of the audience by other concert-goers. It is something most people associate with young fans. Kana, who is American, was 99 years and 274 days old when she did it. Guinness World Records officially confirmed the achievement. Kana was nicknamed "Gangster Granny" by those who knew her. Filmmaker Ross Smith recorded the moment on camera. The record shows that people do not have to stop enjoying live music as they get older.
