The rare combination of a giant swell, a super low spring tide, a huge swell period and light offshore winds came together on January 30th 2021. Not only did the north coast of Cornwall see some huge waves, but the mythical Cribbar Reef, in Newquay, saw 20ft clean and rideable waves, for 3 days!
A small group of riders took on these big waves, including the Founder & Director of Bodyboard Holidays, Rob Barber. The lone bodyboarder in the line up.
For the majority of people it’s hard to imagine what it’s like flying down a 20ft wave. Our head photographer and trip leader Chris Burton talks to Rob to cover all the behind the scenes action, how to prepare yourself, what it’s really like to take on these monster waves and to nearly drown trying!
