To Devon plumber and lifeguard Andrew Cotton, who made it onto the top five shortlist at the surfing world’s ‘Oscars’ in Anaheim, near Los Angeles, for successfully riding a giant 80ft high wave off the coast of Portugal.  He speaks about how the fact he did not excel at riding small waves got him motivated to try this extreme sport.    Remarkable.   http://www.andrewcotton.co.uk/
