Andrew Cotton: Surfer who broke back during wipeout returns to the waves
BBC South West sees the moment that surfer Andrew Cotton returns to the water seven months after a wave broke his back.
The 38-year-old from Braunton was injured when he wiped out on a 60-foot high wave off Nazare in Portugal last November.
He says he hopes to be fit enough to ride big waves again soon, having started out on two-foot high waves off Croyde last week.
