Additional Information
The Cribber is Cornwall's mythical big wave spot. It needs to be very big and clean to break properly. It only just starts to break safely at 6-8ft, but the bigger the better.<br />Paddle out in the rip at Little Fistral and hope for the best. The rip can be incredibly strong. If you are not prepared/able to paddle around to the Town beaches don't even think about going in as this may be the only place to get out.<br />Only consider going out if you are very comfortable in large surf.

Atmosphere
This spot is rarely ridden and has only been surfed by a few nutters. The wave breaks close to the cliff and in very shallow water. A lost or broken board would be an absolute nightmare. If it is breaking then there will certainly be other spots going off in Cornwall.
