It's been pretty much 6yrs to the day since I've seen any waves of consequence so yeah the drive was definitely worth it standing on the reef only a few meters away watching these heavy waves break on the dry slab with such force that the reef shook! It's not far from where I was meant to work before the fires happened then covid, the drive would've been alot shorter...</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">May has been an exceptional month for surf and looks like next week will be pumping too, so might be another trip south on the cards but to somewhere different and not as far. Ohh by the way you will be getting some pretty amazing surf next week, you have a bit of a low brewing off the tip of NZ which is what will bring the surf to here, hopefully.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyways here's a few shots from the last while, a couple of drone shots too and the one of Hinze dam is spilling at 117% full.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ohhh a new version of my drone video, I tweaked it a little. WATCH IT TO THE END, there's a short bit from the wrecks 3yrs ago...!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We had 2 cyclones send swell to us, not very big but was nice to see some decent surf with friendly winds after 2 frustrating months of shite. It's amazing how energised you get when there's heaps to photograph, I ended up down south a few hours to get some more photos chasing the swell.</p><p style="text-align: center;">As you know Uncle and Aunt came down for a few days to have a break from their little town, they really enjoyed it and were treated to a pretty amazing lightning storm from their balcony. The lightning photo I captured below is something I've been striving for for as long as I can remember, a single bolt with a heap of streamers coming off it, I am one happy chappy. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The sunrise photos are of course taken from my balcony, I still get up every morning and watch the sunrise, never take it for granted and make the most of it. Well I hope you all enjoy these shots, not quite the variety as my last posts but at least I'm keeping busy .</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEGksCxxVBHXdCVwArl_9l3XHfI_l5_UZpoJaxKRY9mJ1ysW1eNzaUnq7MEof5JNIsbj_tYcSUJFHi6-oseG45EAssOMGNhRme6CYThkSfGCMv2GErRuCuyXsEnfaSGKwV3KaxRbSvzI/s2000/_MG_1301.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
. It'd been over 2 years since I had
photographed any waves of consequence, it was driving me absolute
bonkers and I needed to get my fix soon otherwise I'd do something
stupid like crash a Redbull event...! So as it happened that's
exactly what happened. I'd seen the forecast a week out and straight
away put in for the weekend off plus the Monday and the plan was to
drive down to a spot way past “Ours”. Following the storm down on
the Saturday to stay in Sydney the night I was thinking to myself if
they do call the Cape Fear event on I'd be a fool not to try to get
in to the area to photograph it from somewhere with some of the international names on the
invite list. So Cape Fear event it was going to be even though I
wasn't on the photographers list! 2 years prior I applied to
photograph the inaugural event but they said I wasn't a “credited”
photographer what ever the fuck that means. Maybe because I haven't
got an instagram page, haven't photographed heavy water outside of
Ireland or just maybe being a red head my bulls are too red for
them...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
. Woke up the Sunday morning to pelting
big fat nuggets of rain on the window, shit it pissed down all day.
Checking the internet I saw the event was on for the next day but it
was going to be run with mostly Australians but they still hadn't got
them all confirmed yet, I guess with it going to be the biggest swell
to have tried to surf it some were a bit dubious to it all. I still
decided to stick it out and head down their first light to check it
all out.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
. Hardly any sleep that night due to
trying to figure out how the frign heck I was going to get in to the area as I knew Redbull will have the site all blocked off and the
thought I could actually get to witness something great go down I was
up well before sunrise with a plan hatched, sorta... Checking the
forecast it looked offshore and big enough, I've only been here once
before and it was small so I had no idea what to expect. Arriving
their I could see enough security guards to think the US president
had arrived! Parking up past the event and walking out to the rock
ledge looking down on the playing field it was heavy, real heavy. The
swell bending as it felt the slab below then not really throwing out
on the peak but more up and folding in on itself then reeling down
the line like a freight train producing a warped sketchy barrel that
any slab rider in the world would've been bricking it. A lone ski the
only bit of scale out their made it look so flipn nasty and thick I
had to wonder whether they'd still run the event. A few more people
arrived and said they were running it if the surfers wanted to, it
was up to them to call it apparently which was good I thought as no
one should be forced into surfing this beast today.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
. I was pretty excited with anticipation
of what could lie ahead but then it all fell apart when security told
us to leave as they were putting fences up. My heart sunk and out of
pure desperation I asked the security guards to ring someone that can
make a call to let me down to the event stage as an extra
photographer for them, I even said I'd sign the paperwork and give
the photos up but if they don't let me I'll still photograph it from
somewhere so they may as well use me. The answer that came back was a
simple no, so that just made me more determined. Cutting the public
off to a surfing event is everything that is not surfing, surfing
encourages all walks of life to enjoy the amazing feat of gliding on
water whether you're a surfer, photographer or simply a spectator
bringing smiles to all. It doesn't cut with me that Redbull can stop
people entering the surf spot for 5 days saying it's a construction
site due to safety reasons while a select few surfers go down the
track bare footed with surfboards in hand. On the day there excuse is
to control numbers, so does that mean every time Ours breaks big
they're going to limit the amount of people to watch it, what a crop
of bullshit.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
. Anyway to cut a getting long story
shorter I found my spot away from the fun police and these are the
photos that I had the honour to capture and witness the heaviest surf
contest I have ever seen. The waves were nuts and borderline
insanity, I was in fear myself for everyone out their putting their
lives on the line for each wave. The hero of the day for me which
took on the biggest and gnarliest ones on that first day was Jughead,
if he hadn't bounced his head off the slab he would've been right up
there with Russell in the final. Saying that though I was only there
for the first day and really all those who surfed that mutant beast
are pure nuts and a huge inspiration to us all showing how to face
your fears even if deaths cape is on your back, you guys are my
heroes and I'll never forget this day. Despite my rants towards
Redbull I do think it's a great event and run very well with the
surfers safety in mind, it's a good concept and I wish Redbull the
best for upcoming events their. But for fucks sake be a bit more open
minded on who you let into the event, add another peanut gallery
stand or something.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
. I hope you all enjoy these warped bits
of beautiful madness as much as I did capturing them.</div>

Well I'm not a religious man but If I were I reckon me grandad "Victor" was looking down on us all thinking we all need some swell and boy did he deliver. Cyclone Victor was placed over the ocean for over a week in around the same spot wedged between Samoa and the Cook islands sending glorious swell straight to the east coasts of NZ and Australia. Right on cue too with many taking an extra long weekend for Australia day celebrations. The tides may not have been great and the wind teasing some without a sense of adventure but there were a hell of a lot of waves on offer for those who did a few miles and got the timing right.<br />
<br />
There was one morning in particular that was super glassy and solid enough producing some stunning barrels with the sun beaming through the back of the waves. I haven't had that much fun in a long time searching for waves not knowing what would be around the next corner. I still miss photographing big surf like mad but this swell not big in size still had a punch in it producing some entertaining photography.<br />
<br />
So here's a few shots in the name of Victor, the legend lives on<br />

A bit of a change of scenery for me these last few months, chasing work I've ended up in Nambucca Heads, NSW building a bridge as part of the new highway to replace the death road. When I say death road that's exactly what I mean, so many people have been killed on this part of the highway and I was so close to becoming one of them but that's a story for another day, pretty stoked to be part of this helping saving lives.</div>

Anyway my expectation of the area wasn't great but once I toured around a bit on me days off I discovered it's one of the most beautiful places I have seen, white sand beaches broken up by rocky headlands creating long point breaks, waterways that wind themselves around the bush lands heading to the great ocean. A lot of it is very accessible and as you can see from the image above they have awesome lightning storms which makes me very happy. The surf isn't big and pretty inconsistent but with beautiful point breaks like Crescent Head it reminds of the old days when I was surfing at the likes of Te Awanga in Napier, NZ. Might be time to try get back in the water again...</div>

So here are a few of the shots I have taken in the last 4 months of being here and I've been pleasantly surprised by it all. Hopefully in the coming months there'll be a few cyclones send some glorious clean lines down so I can explore a bit more and see the real potential of the coastline.</div>

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all especially to everyone in Ireland that I miss so much.</div>

Wow 18 months on the Goldie was a treat but now I have moved on to south of the border. I'll miss it in many ways like the reason it's called the Gold Coast, golden sand beaches and golden sunrises. The whales, the point breaks and the weird shit that happens when Surfers Paradise by night comes alive with the twisted antics of the young out to have fun. My view, ohhh my view from my apartment never got old, getting up every morning at the crack of dawn was a daily ritual for that golden sunrise over the ocean. Kitty O'Shea's was my little place for a chilled out pint meeting a few randoms on the way and sharing stories of travel and surf.<br />
<br />
Sooo anyway here's a few of the best bits from my time on the Goldie, thanks to all that made me welcome and my stay that much more enjoyable.<br />

Still cruising around taking the odd shots here and their, nothing major but a few fun days thou, it never really gets biggish but it sure as hell is consistent. It doesn't matter if it's 3ft or 33ft I still enjoy taking these shots as the passion for surfing will never leave my blood even if I'm not currently surfing myself. I still enjoy just getting out and seeing what mother nature delivers us all to enjoy is always exciting, you have to respect her and not abuse what we are so lucky to enjoy. So here's a few from the last month or so of super relaxed days cruising the coast.<br />
<br />
Happy days<br />

I was like a kid in a candy store at the Cooly Rocks On in Coolangatta at the weekend grinning ear to ear as we stumbled upon epic car after epic car. It was incredible to see 1,200 cars of this stature all in one place, totally mind boggling. Everyone had come out to play and all the big kids were here to admire the shine, colours, chrome with supercharged goodness, over 100,000 people had turned out for the aw inspiring event. It's not just money that goes into these cars, it's more the imagination, time, effort and very personal touches that blows you away. Hats off to all that proudly showed their cars off, it was a dream for me to see this and my side kick Steve was blown away as well. If you missed it this year make sure you get to it next year, just sensational and a pure nuts day.<br />
<br />
There was so many impressive pieces of machinery that it was hard to pick a few, so here's 20+ out of 1,200. Happy days<br />

. After a bit of a screwed up week (totally my own doing) I needed to get back to my passion and just chill out and think about a few things. Life shouldn't be about worrying about shit that doesn't have any value in it and I have found myself increasingly getting worried about the stupid little things and winding myself up that much that I can't think straight due to the pressure of being unemployed. It's not fair on the people around you and it's definitely not fair on the people you care about most. I had a huge wake up call last week almost losing a friend that I value very much (once again totally my own doing) and I disrespected that person because I didn't listen and trust her at the time over something so fuckn stupid and insignificant. Why I did it I don't know and believe me it shook me up that much at the thought of losing that friend that I'm never going down that road again. So to try to get back to the true me and find myself again there was one way of doing that and that's go chase some waves to photograph to put that smile back on me that shouldn't have ever left.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
. So here's Day 1 of finding myself again and here's 2 fingers up at the little things that don't matter, the waves were a bit small but there were some impressive airs being punted and I hope you all enjoy the shots. Also there was this little grom out their that was shredding, if anyone knows who it is can you leave a message at the bottom as I want to pass the shots onto him. Ohh and thanks Tim for the advice on how to recover me lost photos.</div>

I've dabbled only a small bit into light photography but it always amazes me how they come out, it's so much fun playing around and exploring something different apart from surf. I did a couple of these shots last year but the ones in the tunnel were only done last week, it's pretty dodgy down their at night and luckily enough I had me mate Steve to give me a hand and watch out for anyone thinking my camera gear would be better off in their possession!<br />
<br />
I was stoked that I could get someone to give me a hand and we only spent an hour or so getting these shots in the tunnel. Just for any skeptics out there, there is no manipulation in photoshop done, and each photo is one single exposure so no photo stacking. And yes for the spark photo I had a fire extinguisher on hand just in case...ha funny thing, when I did my first spark attempt I did the rookie mistake of being overly too excited and forgot to put my hood up and a blob of molten steel wool landed right on top of me head! Still got a melted hole there haha, didn't do that again.<br />
<br />
There's also a couple of randoms from a day down at Coolangatta where there was a bit of foam around, I missed the good day the day before but it was still hilarious watching these 2 guys having fun amongst it all.<br />

Another early wake up last weekend and decided to head a bit south of Surfers on the trusty old bus to try get some shots of somewhere different. Arriving down their the winds just had a smigeon too much west in it and just wasn't tickling me fancy at all. So back on the bus and headed back north a bit to Burleigh heads and that was also somewhat crap so yup back on the bus again. At this stage I wish I had a car as this next bus trip wouldn't take me all the way to me next port of call Sth Straddie.<br />
<br />
Finally after another bus transfer and a taxi I arrived at the Spit, super clean 3-4ft and pumping as I looked back towards Surfers. Wanting to waste no time I waited for the boat taxi to take me over to Sth Straddie, I could tell it was busy over their as there was 10 guys paddling over and another 10 waiting for a boat. Asking the driver can he drop me off beside the breakwater where it was calm, he asked me who I am and I said I'm know one I just wanna take a few shots. Hahaha big mistake as he refused to take me over, great start to the morning travelling for nearly 3hrs and not one ok surf photo!<br />
<br />
So anyway I decided to shoot from the Spit and from the pier. You know we as surfers and photogs are a bit like sheep alright and I'm glad it worked out the way it did as I got some pretty cool concrete jungle shots. I looked over at Sth Straddie and there must've been over 60 people out there fighting for waves and another 20 guys just in front of me off the Spit dropping in on each other. Then I looked along the coast from the pier down to Surfers through me lense and there were hardly anyone to be seen, maybe a dozen at best stretched out along the coast and there were some pretty nice waves rolling in...mostly empty!<br />
<br />
Here are the shots of that part of the coast, I'll let you judge if the waves are any good...<br />

Shot down to Snapper yesterday, didn't really expect much as the swell was quite Sth. Down the line was really small but the take off at Snapper was a bit bigger and fun to watch as the swell just clipped it. A heap of groms out their having a blast learning fairly quickly what not to do with snapped boards and beatings the norm for the day. The sun was beating down and no amount of suncream was going to save my ginger flavoured pale skin from getting a roasting, so in and out of the shade was the order of the day.<br />
<br />
I asked some locals who this kid was in the orange wetsuit but I have a feeling they might've got mixed up with another kid that had just a small bit of orange on his wetsuit. So if the Mum of Reef Heazelwood could let me know if any of these shots is Reef I'd appreciate it, just post a comment at the bottom of this article. Also if you know who these others are that be cool if you could let me know, I'll throw a print your way if one of these is Reef too.<br />
Cheers<br />

I've always woken up before the sun rises as long as I can remember, I'm pretty sure that's been past down by me Mum. Each morning I'll either sit on the balcony or head down to the beach and just chill out and watch the sun come up, looking east towards NZ I know over beyond the horizon is Mum wide awake sitting in the dining room watching the same magic of the sunrise. In a couple of days is me Mums birthday so these shots are for her, the best Mum in the world and I love her heaps so here's to you Mum - Happy Birthday from the Gold Coast<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This wave is as rare as they come, sometimes not breaking for years. So much has to be aligned perfectly for it to break like this making this photo more special than most of my shots, sometimes pure luck plays a lot in surfing photography. </td></tr>

You travel to new places to search for new waves and meet great people, sometimes just sometimes a place will blow your mind beyond anything you had ever imagined. Ireland did that to me around every corner!<br />
<br />
Ireland is frign cold, windy and very wet but when the elements come together for big waves there's no other place in the world I'd rather be. Photographing the surf here in winter is a real challenge with the sun never rising above 15 degrees in the dead of winter making the days short and dark, that's why you hardly ever see photographers from outside Europe traveling to this part of the world. I was lucky enough to live here for 10 years and embrace everything that is truly Irish and what makes this country great. Over the 10 years I only photographed it for probably 6 years as I had other things on me mind like Guinness, Bulmers, breakfast rolls with black pudding, drinking vodka in Russia, traveling to all the beautiful countries in Europe. Those 6 years were the best years of my life, the timing couldn't be any better as Ireland was just getting into the big wave scene. It was such an honor to record the birth of that, the discovery of big wave spots and watch these quite reserved Irish surfers take it on in the harsh elements the Atlantic threw at them. So here's to Ireland and once again I thank you for showing me what this amazing coastline has to offer.<br />
<br />
Here's my top 12 shots that make me well up inside and wanting to go back their tomorrow, <span class="st" data-hveid="51"><i>Sláinte.</i></span><br />

This is New Yorker Dylan Stott on I think his first outing at Mullaghmore, Dylan got so addicted to the place he hasn't left and when Mullaghmore is on you can bet that he's out their. Mullaghmore is a beast of a wave breaking over a shallow reef that sometimes is only a foot or two deep in parts creating 20ft wide boils and 2ft backwash on the face. Ohh and there's also a ravine you can get pushed down into and from what I hear it's dark, very very dark and lonely...<br />

Andrew "Cotty" Cotton was the first person I ever shot surfing big waves
in Ireland and this photo was the last wave I shot before I left
Ireland in 2010. Cotty is truly a gentleman and one bloody ballsy
surfer. This is Prowlers, over 1 mile off the coast and breaks over a
reef just 2.5m below sea level and this was only the 2nd time we had
been out to surf it and by far the biggest. It was surreal with some waves nearly draining dry!<br />

Mullaghmore and Paul O'Kane, it's like wax and a surfboard - you know they just go together. Paul has maybe put more time out here than anyone else, if he's not surfing this heaving slab he's running safety and photographers around. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.<br />

Aileens, thee most spectacular break I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. Sitting at the bottom of 700ft cliffs it's not for the faint-hearted, it breaks over a shallow reef rolling through boulder alley and smashes into the cliffs, those boulders are the size of cars! Here's local Tom Doidge-Harrison slotted perfectly on a wave he paddled into on his own board he shaped himself, legend.<br />

Another shot of Prowlers from the same day as Cotty's wave. Here's big wave charger Barry Mottershead saluting the eye of Prowlers, on one of Barry's waves I had the boat out of position and to this day I'm still disappointed at myself for missing it, I'm sorry Bazza.<br />

Another New Yorker, Kurt Rist taking on Prowlers for his first time - not bad aye, Kurt even paddled this day with some huge set of gonads! When I left Ireland in 2010 I was pretty sure I was never going to see Prowlers break again big as it has only ever been surfed that one time close to this size. 3 years later I returned and scored the 2nd time it has ever been surfed this big, what are the odds what an honor. I am so darn proud to have been involved in the discovery and pioneering of Prowlers, big thanks to all the boys that manned up and took it on.<br />

The nastiest Aileens I have ever seen. Greg Long and Twiggy Baker hooked up with Fergal Smith and Tom Lowe and headed to Aileens to paddle it straight off the plane! It was bonkers with 2 different swells directions you had to take a gamble on which one would not section out which never happens out here. This was the day Tom Lowe gambled one too many waves and got the whole lot on his head ripping his arm out of the shoulder socket!<br />

This is why I stuck out the cold frign wet days on a 15ft rib getting battered by howling winds each day, to see ya mates having the time of there lives and recording it for them giving them something to remind them of the day and to show there kids and grand kids what their old man used to get up to.

On the way down to Coolangatta this morning I was hoping the WSL would put the women out first before the wind went onshore and swell drop. But nope they didn't so hopefully this won't be the benchmark for the rest of the year, if it is my heart goes out to them and I feel sorry for the bottom third of the surfers that'll probably never see good surf at any combined events for the whole year. Anyway I was shooting the guys and looked at me phone and saw the cricket score, Australia all out for 151 haha so I thought I'm not waiting around to watch the women surf mush burgers as I want to see them at their best and I legged it back home to watch the cricket(which turned out to be a nail biter). NZ won and I'm stoked for the boys. So here's a few shots before I legged it!<br />

The first day the sun was beaming but the waves were very erratic breaking all over the place. Surfers were coming in and saying it was such hard work out their trying to find the right spot down by Kirra with the shifting peaks. Of course I had forgotten me hat and the sunscreen just wasn't cutting it giving me a slightly lobster look after not even an hour exposed to the elements. At least the sun was out making it a pleasure to shoot getting crisp shots and beautiful colours.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second day was a complete different story, I was sitting in me flat looking out at the gloomy day of Surfers wondering what to do as the winds were forecast to go onshore. Deciding to check the weather update again for the 10th time, the forecast had done a u-turn predicting a whole day of SSW and some breaks in the pouring rain every now and again! Nothing worst than being on public transport to get to somewhere as quickly as possible, it was still pelting down when I got off the bus in Coolangatta and by the time I got to the Rainbow surf club I was drenched! There was only 1 place to be to shoot today for crisp photos and that was in the water but I'm kinda not built for that so the next best place was in the surf club on there glorious balcony sipping a few beers.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The surf was organized, clean and bigger than 2 days before but with the rain I knew there was going to be no crisp photos shooting from land. That doesn't bother me too much as this is a passion of mine and I've never been driven by money, mags or sponsors. Shooting in Ireland you learn this very quickly and learn to live and deal with it as you're bloody lucky to get a good size swell with a sunny day. Don't get me wrong, if I get a really good shot I will send it into the mags but that's not what drives me to shoot surf. Anyway there were some cracking waves ridden and some were missed having a beer in hand instead of me camera but here's a few of what I got from the 2 days.</div>

This place has to have the most consistent breaks on earth for offshores and swell. More often than not the period doesn't exceed 12sec and the size not much over 2m but this is pretty much perfect for a bit of fun without having massive rips. So yeah it does get crowded but it can hold it most of the time with all aspects of surfing giving it a bit of a nudge out here from short boards to longboards and sup's, from the groms to the more aged of craft riders everyone can have fun out here.

Waking up early keen as to get down early on the old bus to Snapper rocks as a good swell was forecast. Not anywhere near big for Irish standards but bigger than usual for this place 2.4m@12sec from the E, when I came up to the the Kirra surf roundabout and glanced to my left I knew they fecked up the foreast. Would be lucky if it was 2m so a bit of a let down, but I didn't really come down to photograph the long rides this time, it was more for the carnage that happens off the rock. And today was no less frightening out their than any other day, drop ins while people in the barrel, running into people and some gnarly wipe outs. Everyone seems happy enough it happens so I'm more than happy to take shots of the chaos, it's hairy watching it all unfold through the day but it's bloody entertaining to watch. Pretty sure this has to be the only break in the world where this behavior seems to be the norm! So anyway here's a few shots from the day, I've only put a couple of carnage shots up as it may stir it up a bit too much...<br />

The time goes pretty slow when you have the whole day to eat up so to keep me mind busy I often just go wandering, camera in hand. Here's just a few from the last month, some shots have been taken from me facebook so some will have a watermark.<br />

As a kid I always had a fascination
with storms, during a lightning storm I would go outside and just sit
and watch memorized by it all. At work lightning struck a high voltage power line pylon 30 seconds after I was on it, my ears were ringing from the instant crack as the lightning hit, while everyone else was freaking out I was thinking that was the most awesome thing I have seen and heard. When ever the ocean would get crazy at
our holiday spot at Raumati beach I used to go down to the seawall
and watch the swells smashing into it, one year the surf came over
that wall and I thought it was the best holiday ever. When I first
saw the movie “The perfect storm” in 2000 about a boat being
caught in a storm so violent that a 101ft wave was recorded on a buoy
off the coast of Nova Scotia I knew that I wanted to see that wave
with my own eyes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
For years it was in the back of my
mind until one day I witnessed not a particularly huge swell hit
Aileens but a swell that created 70ft waves, I sat their for 6hrs in the
cold wind hoping someone would turn up and surf it, but no one did
and probably best they didn't! It reminded my how much I wanted to
see that 100 footer, so when I saw the charts for the “Hercules”
swell in January I looked at the places that might be surf-able and
could get up to 100ft going on past conditions been surfed. Looking
at Nazaré, in November 2011 Garrett McNamara had surfed a 78ft world
record wave from a <a href="mailto:6.5m@14sec">6.5m@14sec</a> swell,
in January 2013 Andrew Cotton towed Garrett into maybe an even bigger
wave from a <a href="mailto:5.8m@16sec">5.8m@16sec</a> swell. So this
was telling me the Hercules swell should be well over 100ft with the
swell smashing the Portuguese coast at a whopping <a href="mailto:9.8m@21sec">9.8m@21sec</a>.
With me mind made up and with high hopes I decided to leave
Mullaghmore behind for this one and head to Nazaré to chase my
dream.</div>

I'm comfortable in exploring new
places by myself but sitting on the wrong side of the car driving on
the wrong side of the road by myself was a bit daunting. Concentrating so hard
on where I should be on the road in the dark I drove past toll ticket
booths where apparently as I found out 50km's down the road I
should've got a toll ticket. The lady at the toll booth said you have
to have a ticket and I said no I haven't, then she said well that'll
be €55!! Fuck me is this road made outta gold, didn't make that
mistake again. Getting up in the morning and looking out from the
balcony I could see the famous fort on top of that hill where all
those photos are taken from saturating the net. Heading out for a
look around the town you notice quickly there's pride in this town
from how clean it is, sharp white edged walls and terracotta roofs,
the footpaths hand paved with heart from small broken tiles. Women on
the beach sorting and drying out fish caught by the men earlier in
the morning. There's no McD's, KFC or other fast food chains here,
all local little pastry and coffee cafés that give money directly
back into their families, the way it should be. The fish here is
amazing and caught fresh daily, on the menu where ever you dine and
the dishes are to die for. So off I went, up to the hill to see the
100ft wave...</div>

Sitting up on the hill watching the
swell build going on what I've seen in the past in Ireland it just
didn't look even close to big, it didn't feel huge. So I wandered
down the steps on the front of the fort to watch it front on which is
pretty darn spectacular to be that close to the surf smashing into
the rocks directly below you. The mad thing is people from all walks
of life are here to watch this spectacle, women with high street
super high heels and €1,000 bags, guys in suits, hippies, families
and shit load of photogs. It was so good to see this wave that my
mate Cotty and his tow partner Garrett have put on the worlds radar has ignited the
imagination in them. As dusk was approaching a flow of disappointment
was passing through me, the waves were breaking a long way out but
even with a set a lot bigger than anything else that come through
just on dusk I can't say that I saw a 100ft wave. Cotty said to me
beforehand that with the slight onshore wind it could take 20ft off
the top of the wave, maybe in the morning with light offshores it
might look different.</div>

During the night the boom of the
waves breaking were rattling the windows with ferocity. Hearing that
during the night my hopes were high as I was sitting beside the fort
waiting for the sun to rise. As the dawn broke my heart started to
sink and I knew from that moment my dream of the 100ft wave wasn't
going to happen. Don't get me wrong, it was big and maybe the biggest
waves I've ever seen but it wasn't what I was hoping for. I have a
huge amount of respect for Cotty, Garrett and the other crews taking
on this wave, it's scary as hell out there. I'm not sure exactly
what part they surf but there's rocks that are getting swamped by 20ft of white water then smashing the shit out of the cliffs, a place
you don't want to be. Once a wave breaks out the back it's virtually
white water all the way to the beach, how Maya survived is a miracle
on it's own, and I'm sure she has a big pair for taking Nazaré on,
respect. Even though my dream didn't come true this time I was stoked
I'd made the call to come here and just watch the random madness of
these waves breaking and experience the local culture and food.

One thing that's always been on my
mind is how much do you take off the wave height from shooting so
high up on a hill, that was something I wanted to figure out for
myself. That angle definitely gives the photos a lot of deception of
how big it really is, during the few days of my stay I went down to
the beach on the south and the north side of the hill and took shots
from sea level and 15-20m above to compare the shots from the hill. I
kinda worked it out to be that you would may have to take between
25-30% off the height of the wave taken from on top of the hill, so
if it looked like 90ft it would actually be 65-70ft but remember this
is only what I have worked out and my own personal opinion,
without being out in the water you don't know how much the bottom of
the wave is below sea level. So personally the only place to figure
out the undeniable true height is to photograph Nazaré from
the water, this poses a huge problem with the shifting sand banks
eating skis and people. You'll need a ballsy ski driver that really
knows how to drive out of bad situations and keep calm as the
adrenaline runs wild, as I said that'll be one scary place to shoot
from.</div>

Nazaré is a spectacular place,
beautiful and full of surprises. The wave is a freak of nature and
I'm sure I never saw it anywhere near it's best, maybe this swell was
too big to hit the right banks that warp the wave to great heights.
Will I go back, yes, I love the place and next time I'm in Ireland I
will be taking another trip down if it looks to be breaking and my
dream now for Nazaré is to photograph Cotty and Garrett taking it on,
maybe even photograph it from the water...</div>

I conducted a bit of an experiment of non epic proportions by turning off me blog to see if anyone was actually following it, and nope no one was apart from family and a good mate in Ireland. So was this randomly thrown together of blabbering's a waste of cyber space? From the point of view of people on a higher mountain gazing down it's more than likely a total waste of time, but for my mate and my family for them to be able to see what I'm up to being so far away it's totally worth it. So here we go again, the random stories and photos in a life of yours truly is continuing on. Here's to my family and me mate in Ireland, thanks for your support. A lot of these shots have already been published on facebook but me family and mate don't have fb so no apologies hahaha<br />
<br />
Since I last wrote I kinda took a bit of a holiday in Ireland, it was so good catching up with mates and making some new ones. What was supposed to be 10 weeks turned into 17 weeks! Funny enough I can't say too much about it as I'm hoping my story of my time in Ireland will end up in a mag, but I can say I had loads of Guinness, fun and photographing big waves. Am pretty sure it was the most consistent average sized season Mullaghmore's seen in it's surfing history, some season to come back to! Think the guys and Easkey got a total of 7 XXL nominations from me shots, stoked for them as they were charging all winter and deserved every bit of exposure they got. And to top the adventure off "Prowlers" broke 6 days before I left, only the second time it has ever been surfed at this size, the first happened 8 days before I left in 2010! Getting one day out there was a dream come true nearly causing a breakdown with a few too many pints of the black stuff, but getting 2 days out there was beyond my wildest dreams. It's every photographers dream to get a break they are so passionate about going off, saying that thou if it wasn't for the crew that ventured out their it would be just another wave somewhere on the west coast. Big thanks to surfers Paul, Barry, Neil, Conor, Dylan, Kurt and the boat crew of Declan and Michal, you guys are legends.<br />

Strandhill, well what do I say that I haven't before? Pretty much the best place to live, it definitely has an identity of it's own with everyone who lives their embracing all it has to offer especially surfing, the music/pub scene, great restaurants/cafes, the coast and beautiful scenery. The people are still the same awesome smiley people, of course I had to catch up with as many as I could over a decent pint of Guinness or 2! Over the coming weeks/months I slowly caught up with everyone exchanging stories of the past 3 years and with the amount of waves this winter stories of new of the "Great winter of 2013/14" and meeting all the new additions with a mini baby boom. One thing I found a bit oddball though was my photo of Dylan@Mullaghmore that was used for a sign for Strandhill surf school had been ordered down by the good old Sligo council, just found it a bit weird as it wasn't doing any harm up their and everyone loved it.<br />

For me this trip was about photographing big waves and catching up with mates, I could not have written a script better for how my time panned out, a lot of highs. I've seen more big waves, had more pints, meet with more mates, made more new mates and most importantly have laughed and smiled more in 17 weeks than I had in the last 3 years! A big highlight for me was meeting John's son, such cool kid, full of life. It was great to be able to hang out with John's wife Deb and their son so much, big thanks to Deb for helping me out with shopping and inviting me to Shells on numerous occasions. I'd also like to say thanks to Paul for involving me in the pumping big wave season, you're a kind person and a true mate. A big thanks to Graham and Claire for putting me up for a few days and letting me borrow the awesome red machine, and yes it would've made a darn funny photo with you and me in the front Graham! I'm still working on the gift I have coming for you, Irish customs sent it back so it'll be another month yet... Cheers John, you're a good mate and thanks for the hangovers!<br />
<br />
Aine and Sylvester good luck with the new addition on it's way and cheers for the dinners, it was totally awesome seeing you again. Bazza, what do I say. You've come a long way in the last 3 years, the confidence has grown in you for big waves and it made my trip seeing how you charge out at Mullaghmore. It's so exciting knowing that you will be out their on most swells in the coming winters doing what you do best, good luck for the coming seasons mate. Katie you're awesome and am so stoked I met you, I wish I had the chance to photograph you charging like a wounded bull windsurfing and wish we had met earlier on getting to know each other more exchanging big wave and travel stories over a few pints. The Strand bar and all it's staff once again cheers, Dave you're a funny fecka, cheers for the laughs. John, Johnston and Neil good luck with it all and I hope the big prints do your shop justice, thanks for everything and screw the feckn council and put me darn sign back up hahaha<br />
<br />
So once again I left, but this time leaving knowing I will be back and when I do come back it's going to be awesome. Thanks to all in Ireland and here's a few shots, what a tripping trip aye<br />

Gagging to see some half decent surf I trotted off to Snapper rocks, being busy at work and the operation I haven't seen any decent clean surf in Oz since Tassie last year. Once in Coolangatta the walk around from Greenmount beach is pretty stunning, snapping a few on the way to Snapper. It's a cool setup here with the walkway taking you right by the ocean enjoying the view and the sunrise. I forgot how amazing the colours can be in the water when the sun hits the surf just right, nature at her best.<br />
<br />
Greenmount and Rainbow bay was fairly mellow but, Snapper was a total different story with irratic wobly story to the waves as they first jacked up just before the rocks, peeling down the line further as a cleaner line. One thing I did notice was a lot of blatant dropping in and a bit of agro, I was watching one guy in particular that sat about 50m down from the takeoff at Snapper and he'd watch someone take the gnarly drop and pull into the barrel then he'd disrespectfully turn around and paddle for the same wave. Who does that? Why? How did this person think it was ok to drop in on someone in the frign barrel? I don't care if he's the best surfer in the world it still doesn't give anyone the right to do this, he not only did it once but at least 3 times while I was watching causing each surfer to bail, and if you have been to Snapper it's not a nice spot to get hammered because of someone elses incompetence. Personally I can never understand this side of surfing, surfing is meant to be about having fun, enjoying the feeling of being in the ocean and riding one of natures treasures. Having a laugh and most of all bringing smiles to yourself and the people around you, not being a feckn prized prick ruining everyones day just because you can't handle the drop that someone else can.<br />

Right so, that little rant over hahaha. Their was a few decent lenses
out and about too and a "Red" camera, I was wondering at the time if
there was something going on. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed
in me photos that Occy was ripping the place apart. So I was stoked I
finally got to catch some of his magic as he's been someone I've always
looked up to, a bloody legend. It was fairly busy in the lineup and
some interesting drops been taken at Snapper, very entertaining to even
just sit there and watch it all. I also went up to the surf club for
lunch, they have the best view up there and the best food. I had an
amazing Thai beef salad, it was that frign good I will be going back
again, big thanks to the lovely waitress that recomended it and a thanks
to the chef. The waves during the day weren't massive to my usual shooting locations but it was good to see some surfing again and a dreamy and beautiful wave just peeling and peeling and peeling. What a place, definately going back there and hopefully i might enjoy a beer or 2 with the legend Occy at some stage and exchange surf stories.<br />
cheers<br />
