A British surfer may have broken the record for riding the world's biggest wave.
Andrew Cotton, 34, from Devon conquered what many believe is the biggest wave ever surfed - he headed back to Nazar, Portugal (where he was believed to have ridden a similar size wave in October 2013) during Atlantic storm Bridget, which hit the west coasts of Europe in the weekend.
"I've never ridden a wave like that," Cotton told Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight.
"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."
Prior to taking on the giant 24m wave Cotton nervously called his wife to talk about the rough conditions he would be facing.
"He never says he's nervous about a wave or the height, but this time he called me saying it was looking dangerous," Katie Cotton told News Ltd.
"He just deals with it. I don't know how I deal with it - I just wait for his phone call afterwards. As long as I'm sure that's coming then it's fine.
"It's what he loves doing and trains so hard at so it would be wrong not to be happy that he's managing to surf these waves," she said.

Plumber | Comments Off on Plumber surfs 'biggest wave ever' in Nazare, Portugal
British surfer Andrew Cotton has tried to break his own world record by riding what could be the biggest ever wave.
The wave, which followed a storm in Nazare, Portugal, is estimated to have reached 24.3m larger than the 23.7m record set by Cotton three months ago.
The 34-year-old was towed into position by a jet ski driven by US surfer Garrett McNamara after Atlantic storm Brigid hit the west coast of Europe.
He held his position for about 10 seconds before the wave consumed him.
'It was massive that morning and I knew there was potential to catch potentially record-breaking waves,' Cotton told Sky News.
'As I turned around I looked at it and it was obviously a big wave, but I didn't realise how big it was going to be.
'There was obviously a bout of nerves.'
Cotton travels the world in search of waves like the one he caught on Sunday.
'There is a lot of commitment and I'm lucky I've got an understanding wife and family,' he added.
'It's a dream to ride these waves, for me.

Notorious big surf fiend and Devon plumber Andrew Cotton has conquered what many believe is the biggest wave ever surfed.
Notorious big surf fiend and Devon plumber Andrew Cotton has conquered what many believe is the biggest wave ever surfed.
Off the coast of Portugal near the town of Nazare, massive storms delivered unbelievable swell on the notorious stretch of ocean.
The 23m wave record previously held by Garrett McNamara, who actually towed Cotton out onto the wave on a jet ski, had his record beaten in front of stunned onlookers along the shore.
"I've never ridden a wave like that," Cotton told Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight.
"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."

A part-time pro surfer and plumber from Britain may have set a record for the biggest wave ever surfed this past weekend.
34-year-old Andrew Cotton rode the 78-80ft monster in Nazar, Portugal on Sunday after flying out from his home in Devon, England ahead of a storm forecast to produce huge waves, according to the Daily Mail.

Cotton was towed up the monster wave by a jet ski piloted by current world record-holder Garrett McNamara, who rode a similar monster at Nazar last year.
It was the first time the surfer called his wife to warn her of the conditions in his 10 years in the trade.
Ive never ridden a wave like that, he said.
I was hurtling down it so fast, but I couldnt 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 youre always in the hands of mother nature and thats whats exciting.
