Cornwall’s Best Day of the Year So Far

“I haven’t seen it look like this in years.” Videographer Sam Northover-Naylor is better known by his online pseudonym, The Atlantic Walrus – due to him looking exactly like that in the water: his words, not ours. He’s also spent a good portion of his life living over the road from this south coast chunk of rock – and knows all details of past sessions. And yesterday, as he says, was special.

This swell, from ex-hurricane Kirk, launched up the English Channel and beyond, setting off a whole bunch of spots along the way — including this magical reef in the Duchy of Cornwall. Full story, here:
