It often happens that people challenge the elements wanting to conquer and tame them. This was exactly that situation. The stormy weather has created 50 ft waves which is very unusual for this region.

Lee William and Charlie Thompson, both 21 wanted to ride the massive waves off the coast of Penzance in Cornwall. Their friend Jacob Cockle, 22 was there to record the event.

The two surfers were prepared to surf the big wave, however it was not meant to be. The wave came crashing, tossing and throwing the surfers around. It's clearly seen on the photos.

The surfers, a little beat up, but feeling ok said they enjoyed the ride and it was fun.
