A big-wave surfer who may have broken his own world record, set just three months ago, after he dropped in on a monster wave off the coast of Portugal has defended the death-defying ride saying he was backed up a large support crew.
Andrew Cotton told ITV News he is not "an idiot" when he caught the nearly 80ft wave.
I can understand that if you just looked at a photo and go what an idiot. It's not just me going out there by myself, we have safety team, back-up drivers medics on the beach, everyone's got communications. It's not like just going down to the local beach and going for a quick surf.Cotton, who hails from Devon, was back at Nazaré in Portugal – the spot where he surfed a wave estimated at a world-record 78ft in October.Cotton, a part-time plumber, wore an inflatable vest, which carried him back to the surface after he fell on the wave.
