We were lucky enough to score some light enough winds to get out there with our DJI Inspire X5R drone on a huge day at our local big wave spot "The Cribbar" in Newuqay. Enjoy!

    Big waves, seriously big waves. You need a lot of courage to go out there. I remember Rodney Sumpter was one of the first, maybe the first to ride this wave decades ago. Great video, wish it was longer!

    I surfed it sometime in the early/mid 70s and there were only two of us out.neither of us knew of its reputation or we wouldn't have gone out because we were both gromms( learners) .it was pretty exciting and we got a couple of rides each,but the rocks nearby spooked us a bit and we came in after about an hour.

    Looks sweet! Super clean and big. Nice song pick too. Can't go wrong with Pentagram.

    How I miss Cornwall. Have lived in U.S. for 40 years now (got married and then divorced!). Have been home many times but it is so expensive to live there now there is no going back at 67!

    I've been to Cornwall to visit Eden Project ...enjoying magic mushrooms with friends. My god, it was soooo awesome! Loved every second of it.

    This is epic! reminds me of one time I saw a freak set break about a mile further out than this, on a warm sunny afternoon, I swear it sounded like an earthquake and it was a once in a lifetime, anyone else seen this?
  • Love the drop at 50 seconds, he almost made that, he must have thought he'd nailed it.

    Thank you so much ! I heard about this huge wave and witnessed perhaps what I thought might be The Cribbar working . I see now , the wave is massively bigger than I imagined . Or , I never saw waves so big and powerful before off The United Kingdom. I saw massive waves at Bantham beach in Douth Devon once . I was with family , but I don't think anyone had a camera . I don't think I did anyway . I kind of lead my family in Surfing knowledge. Lead them gently by the hand as my father believes the expression of perfect English is the true mark of intelligence . Being able to express oneself clearly . He believes to be a desirable trait due perhaps to his Grammar School background . I am kicking myself we never got even a poor quality photograph of Big Bantham . This video is a real treasure. It's brilliant ! Is that the end of the headland off Little Fistral near the end of the video ? Perhaps the statement I heard : When the Cribbar works , it's possible to paddle out to it from Newquay Harbour or Towan beach which might be relatively calm ...(compared to Fistral , I assume )... The Cribbar breaks out off the headland... ( off meaning, perhaps the waves break kind of out at sea. Further out than even the tip off a massive protruding headland near Little Fistral ) . Well folks , I thought I had Fistrsl big . But this is B.I.G ! I appreciate how dangerous this is and the incredible strength probably required to paddle into such a wave without a tow. What incredible athletes. Yes, a Surfer . Is REALLY tough !
