Has a British plumber conquered the biggest wave ever surfed?

It was the first time the surfer called his wife to warn her of the conditions in his 10 years in the trade.
‘I’ve never ridden a wave like that,’ he said.
‘I was hurtling down it so fast, but I couldn’t get near the bottom. It was pushing me up all the time.
‘It makes you wonder how far we can push it, how high can you go?
‘It was scary. But you’re always in the hands of mother nature and that’s what’s exciting.’
Mr Cotton, who lives with his wife and children in Devon, flew out to the coastal town of Nazaré on Saturday night after his team heard news of a brewing storm.
Portugal’s so-called ‘natural wonder’ has a canyon beneath the beach which sparks colossal waves, attracting surfers from all over the world.
By Sunday morning, he was out in the water with dozens of people clustered on a nearby hill to watch.
