“This image of British big wave surfer Andrew Cotton by Octavio Passos came into our inbox while I was on shift and instantly caught my eye. I am not a lover of the sea and this image terrified me and rightly so as it turns out this image was taken moments before this big wave came crushing down on him. This image suddenly became a news story as the surfer broke his back in the wipeout. Good news is he is recovering in hospital and reportedly said “he was desperate to get back to surfing” – John Keeble | London Picture Desk | #EditorsChoice
