The cribbar, a reef situated beneath the headland north of fistral, only breaks on the biggest swells. It is considered to be Cornwall's premier big wave, with the biggest ridden waves having up to 40ft faces. Although it is impressive for Cornwall, it is dwarfed by other big wave spots around the world. Many surfers have attempted to ride the wave although a good deal of experience is essential. When waves are breaking over the cribbar, it can be easily observed from fistral beach. Just look up the coast...
At least three times per year, the mass media spreads half-truths, inconsistencies and plain rubbish about the cribbar.
The cribbar was featured in the third installment of the Alex Rider Series, Skeleton Key
