#10: Andrew Cotton | Big Wave Surfing, Nazaré and Breaking his Back - a podcast by Oli Russell-Cowan

Andrew Cotton is one of the world’s most respected professional big wave surfers. After being a plumber and beach lifeguard Andrew started his professional surfing career in 2013 after surfing massive winter swells whenever he could. Chasing the biggest waves in the world has been his goal ever since. How big of a wave can someone surf? What’s the limit?  

Tune in for some of Cotty's best stories. Growing up surfing in Devon, England to doing winter seasons in Ireland and Nazaré, Portugal riding 70+ foot waves, worst moments and major wipeouts from big wave surfing. We dive into how he stays fit both physically and mentally to continue paddling out in conditions when no one else would put a foot in the water? 

Enjoy and get rad!
