A big wave surfer has shared what it's like to ride an '80ft moving mountain' - and what it feels like to have the whole thing come crashing down on you. Andrew Cotton, 43, from Devon, tours the world as a professional surfer and has ridden some of the biggest breaks ever seen.
He even broke his back in 2017 when he came off a 50ft wave at popular elite surf spot Nazare, in Portugal, but he hasn't let that stop him. He said coming off his board felt like being in 'a car crash' where 'it feels like your arms are going to be ripped off', but now he's back at it and has mastered waves that are around 100ft high.
