The Cribbar wave only appears a few times of year when a large, long range ocean swell combines with light winds to produce a spectacular breaking wave at the rocky headland close to Fistral Beach.

Newquay is a popular surfing town so the arrival the Cribbar is met with huge excitement by local wave riders and spectators. Light Colour Sounds aerial video captures the magic of the Cribbar as surfers attempt to catch the moving liquid giant with varying success.

Surfing videos, especially those featuring big waves, tend to be very popular on social media as they provide a stunning spectacle of the bravery, aptitude and athleticism of surfers at gorgeous locations around the planet. So the rare appearance of these massive waves close to a prominent Cornish town were bound to do well online.

James Keith from Light Colour Sound commented: We travel all over the world filming spectacular landscapes in far-flung locations. So the opportunity to capture footage of this natural phenomena on our own doorstep was too good to miss.

The videos we post online tend to be well received but the footage of the Cribbar far exceeded all expectations. It was a great feeling to see such a buzz about our film which shows this notorious local wave in all its glory.

On the day, all of the elements combined to produce the perfect conditions for a shoot of this kind. Well keep watching the weather reports and swell forecasts so we can shoot even more golden footage when the Cribbar returns again in the future."
