You only have to have a stroll round some of the surf shops in Braunton, or look online to find some quite experimental and wacky board designs, but it has to be said these guys have taken things to a whole new level. Yes, they manage to surf an old flat screen TV, and actually catch some good waves! I’m all for recycling, but I’m not sure it will catch on in 2017
Local big wave surfing legend (and occasional plumber) Andrew “Cotty” Cotton is back in a new documentary called “Beneath the Surface”. The film is an amazing insight into what drives big wave surfers to chase the unknown. This time Cotty’s adventure started in 2013 off the West coast of Ireland, after he caught a glimpse of another potential giant wave which he could attempt to ride. Despite the fact that it sits in one of the stormiest seas on the planet, Cotty was not deterred, and the film follows him exploring the possibility that he might have just discovered the wave of his dreams (and everyone else’s nightmares).
