Big wave surfer Tom Lowe back after near-death wipeout

Six months ago big wave surfer Tom Lowe was in hospital after the heaviest fall of his life.

The surfer, from St Ives in Cornwall, had hit the reef at Teahupo'o in Tahiti and spent three weeks in hospital where he said he felt like he was dying.

Now he is in Hawaii facing some of the biggest waves in the world, including here on the outer reefs of Oahu in Hawaii.
