Here is a nice short clip of some insane waves from Ireland a mate sent through - too good not to share. Nicely put together with some good tunes and great visions. No doubt its a bit too cold for Asea




A short story of one epic day of huge surf during March 2012 at Mullaghmore Head, County Sligo:

"The yin and yang of a trip. The highs and the lows. The epic rides and the epic falls. Surfing isn't a easy game to get right, once in a lifetime 50 ft faces followed by a endless search for shelter. Tides reveal dry reefs, squalls break promises. Rain dampens enthusiasm, talk of hidden secrets abound but the wind in it's infinite wisdom keeps them just that, secret. There's no urgency yesterday's euthoria still burns. Another trip another day. No fathoms left to fall."

Sure are a committed bunch of surfers over there. Coming from Qld and before that far Nth Qld I'm afraid when it gets a bit nippy I have second thoughts unless it's sunny, clear, and crisp only. After nearly 40yrs of surfing(****e I'm not that old am I?) think my blood has thinned out too much. But I reckon they're makin do with what they've got. They have any shark problems over there? Love the music, Ben Howard one of my favourites.

Looks like a nice soft day!
Damn I miss the place, but don't miss 6mm of rubber... in summer.
Home for a pint of the black stuff in 17weeks and 3 days... not that I'm counting.

Tiocfaidh ár lá - Our day will come...didn't though, and it was the Cathlics who askd the 'Brits' to go over in the first place! (1969) All that stuff is really messy and this forum shouldn't lower itself to talk about it.

Ahem back onto surfing yup that sure did look cold!!! and nope no sharks..well just tiddlers or basking sharks I would think?




WTF who made you lord F@#k of what we can talk about
