The Cribbar 30 foot waves! Big Wave Surfing in Newquay 30th Oct 2011

Ben Skinner surfs The Cribbar wave in Newquay, Cornwall on 30/10/2011. Scores of spectators stood on the headland to watch locals surf the biggest wave in England, as a big swell and offshore winds combined to make for some good big wave conditions at the Cribbar. Wave faces were in the 20-30ft range (around 12-15ft if your measuring back of the wave height). Two tow-in surf teams tackled the Cribbar (also known as the widow maker). Ben Skinner and tow in partner Richard Sills scored lots of waves on the day. A stand up paddler (SUP) tried to paddle onto the wave - however didn't have much luck. I guess it shows the value of using jet skis on this wave. This video shows a couple of the waves Ben Skinner caught.

North Fistral CAN be a lot heavier, and harder to surf than the Cribbar when its this size, Ive been out in it when it has been myself a few times.

Can't believe we went all the way to Hawaii and then missed bigger waves in our home county! Serve me right - and beer is not so good there either!!!
-
Gotta add this though, there are some of our fathers who surfed this in the seventies without tow in and jet ski rescue. They paved the way.

Yeeeeeehaaaaw!!! That is a beautiful lookin' wave!!! Even some of the Pros said they were shittin' themselves haha!!! I think whoever takes on the Cribbar is very brave!!

There were plenty of wave faces in the 20-30ft out there - some sets were smaller for sure as you would expect. The national papers called it 50ft waves...which is err..a bit over the top :)

@samkayak2 yeh, people have in the past. An SUP guy tried but couldn't get on the waves, then got caught inside and lost his paddle :)
