Welcome to FADU, Rory. I had no idea that the famous waves by Newquay, I presume, were anything like that powerful. Ending up in Galicia after going surfing - Wow!. By comparison Del Boy could only manage 25 miles out to sea when in Florida and that was on a dodgy jet ski If you ever saw that episode of "Only Fools and Horses"
That beats anything that Steve McGarrett's got in Hawaii
