DRONE FOOTAGE OF MASSIVE WAVES IN NEWQUAY, CORNWALL, UK

[@johnswimcat]

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!

[@burf4963]

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

[@MrRobertFarr]

Pentagram ? Thanks . For naming that tune .

[@banzospod]

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.

[@Domzdream]

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.

[@Domzdream]

@@nico-em7qu Google it. It's in the Cornwall area. It's so worth seeing for real!

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!

[@Energzied]

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?

[@davethompson5718]

Similar up the coast near Lands End in Oct 1987, not the big storm that was on the news, but a couple of weeks before that a big low came through and before the wind swung round and went on-shore, for a couple of hours just after first light it was off-shore. I was on a little campsite over looking this particular bay and knew the swell was coming, I set my clock for about 6.30 and when I woke up you could hear the lip of the wave coming over and hitting the water with a deep resonating boom. I got up and there it was - absolutely massive and off-shore. It was probably mid-week, and way before social media, so all the local boys from Penzance were probably all asleep or getting ready for work. There were two other blokes on the campsite Simon and Guy Irving and their Dad Bill, none of them were that good a surfer and this was way too big for me to go out in on my own and we had to be content with just witnessing it for that hour or so. By 8.30 the wind had swung round and it became massive walls of white mush as the storm came in.

[@Energzied]

thanks sounds like a similar thing, great story perhaps good thing you didn't surf it sounds dangerous :)

[@youreallsogullible1519]

Energzied you mean "zorbas reef", breaks about 1k out off pentire headland and twice the size of the cribber. Very rare it breaks though.

[@highplainsdrifter842]

Once I was at Sennen, the waves weren't particularly huge like in this video, but they were something else, something I'd never seen or heard before, the wind was just right, and the waves broke so absolutely perfectly it sounded like the ocean floor cracked.

[@phillg2222]

Oceanic Power Wave!!!!! Aloha from Brasil

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Love the drop at 50 seconds, he almost made that, he must have thought he'd nailed it.

[@seanmccall7277]

Those waves..... perfect 👌

[@paulelliott3220]

Excellent footage
Huge waves and those surfers a bit overwhelmed
Know that spot well - awesome waves there sometimes and cool to have a drone hovering over and filming
Nice work

[@takfam07]

Great footage. Who'd have thought there'd be waves like that in Cornwall UK? Would love to have seen a successfully handled takeoff and someone working the wave. Not for lack of trying; probably a lot heavier than what the average local Cornish surf bloke is used to. Those are serious waves.

[@sebastianclerey3207]

Watch Rob Fowlie surf it. Check his Instagram. He charges

[@MrRobertFarr]

Yes , they need big wave riding boards. And possibly a tow in from a Jet Ski to handle this size of wave . One guy did very well to make the drop.
One guy seemed to be very determined to catch the wave. But he wiped out real bad.
Some type of underwater disturbance appeared to be going on .
That would terrify me if I was Surfing there .
It's beyond my skill and fitness levels. The Cribbar would perhaps put me to sleep.
It's more of a Spectator sport than participation . Yet , so difficult to commercialise .

[@rosscosan6647]

I surfed there about 1972. it was rough,terrible but not as big as in this video. Worked at the Bay Hotel.

[@playerone82]

Wow, that's huge. Thanks for posting.

[@MrRobertFarr]

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 !

[@mobile6wt572]

This is the cribbar in Newquay... verrrrry rare occurrence... I live here and trust me it’s difficult to 🏄‍♂️

[@1Lotusflower]

Was there actually somebody paddleboarding there??? I was like WTF?!?!!? pmsl. Incredible drone footage!

[@MrRobertFarr]

Yes the Paddleboarder at The Cribbar was awesome as he gave a scale to the waves .

[@bh2861]

@@leotaylor9996 haha, mate alot of people have beaten Kelly Slater in a heat, what's your point? All you eurokooks (french/Portugese exception) need to learn how to firstly bottom and secondly set and hold a rail properly. This video was painful to watch.
If you think that's 30ft then you would fit right in with the kooks over in SoCal. Please that's 10' to 12', max 15' on the sets...and if you're talking about faces then here in Aus and where it counts, we measure waves from the back

[@leotaylor9996]
