Big waves are normally a surfer's dream but when Andrew Cotton tried to ride one nearly as tall as the White House he was seriously injured.

Andrew was flung from his board by a 60 foot wave whilst surfing off the coast of Portugal and the impact fractured his spine.

The 36-year-old, who is from Devon, is now recovering and insists he won't be afraid to ride big waves again in the future.
