Log wave as the biggest ever (6-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

record-breaker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the biggest ever' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'log wave' is the wordplay.
'log' becomes 'record' (I've seen this in another clue).
'wave' becomes 'breaker' (breaker is a kind of wave).
'record'+'breaker'='RECORD-BREAKER'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for record-breaker that I've seen before include "Best-ever performance achiever" , "Person having surpassed the previous best" .)
