Mother Iveys Bay - surfing

Mother Ivey's Bay is home to Spot M, a well known wave among Cornish bodyboarders.

Spot M only works on the biggest of swells which wrap around the headland to slam into the beach forming a super heavy 'wedge'.

This is not a beginners wave and injuries are not unusual. However, neither are big barrels...
