Teenager Cracks The Widowmaker Super Wave
It’s like one of those flowers that only opens a few times in its lifetime. You can wait a long time for it and unless you’re in the right place at the right time, you’re going to miss it and may never get the chance again. You can kick yourself, swear, punch walls but the opportunity is gone and the likelihood of it coming back is slim.
I’m talking about the aptly named wall of water called The Widowmaker. This is a wave that hits the coast of Cornwall on a handful of occasions throughout the year and is the ultimate of all surfer’s rides. You’ll see them all congregating on the beach with their surf boards waiting for The Widowmaker, then you’ll see their chins drop and out pour the excuses for not getting in the water with this beast.
