Good stuff... Its unusual to get any decent shots of Cribbar working as it is usually pretty miserable weather when it does, but those are good.

Some giant waves for the UK as well!!

LIKE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea Britain had an epic outer reef!!! Chris , WillDUDE and I are gonna hit Pembrokeshire tomorrow for some of this insane swell...BRING IT ON!!!

The story has even made it to the national news... There was a brief mention of it on Breakfast this monring and the Sun has an article on it too:

I'm working in Newquay now and have seen the local press interest as well. Impressive though it was it is amusing to see the press hail this as the biggest waves ever seen in the UK. From what I've heard Cribbar gets much bigger given the right swell but compared to Bigbury in Nov 03 (as publicised in the windsurf mags at the time) it was only half the size. Hopefully the press will be as interested when the UK waves show their real mettle.

I lived on headland road, which is right next to cribbar for a couple of years, and it works really regulary, most people only surf it when its really clean though. It was surprising how many hell men paddled out alone on super scary days mind!!!!
