2 waves, 1 county...

Been living on the East coast for most of the year I didn't get much of a chance to catch the swells. But what swells I did get were pretty damn impressive. So here's 2 of the best swells of the season I caught up with at 2 totally different breaks in 1 county. Happy new years to ya all and hope 2011 treats everyone with good fortune and great waves. Some parting advice, I could rattle off over a dozen breaks virtually unsurfed in Ireland, quality breaks so go search, walk over that hill where beyond could be your dreams come true, it won't kill you...

Mullaghmore kicks 2010 off

Well it was a over a month since any decent swell hit up here and only a few were around to grab some fun waves at Mullaghmore. Thankfully the big thaw had happened and there was no ice skating getting there! I decided to shoot from the land for a change and it was alot drier! Althou i did miss the excitement of being out there. Easkey grabbed the rope and was first to tow and got a bit of a foamy one but still some size in it and very very shallow. Neil grabbed one but then they had some running problems with the ski and had to retire early. Paul and Barry swapped around and fed off each other carving it up bagging a few waves along with Shane and youngster Peter who took this gnarly vertical drop, it was pretty heavy looking. It wasn't anywhere as big as they hoped for but it was a good practice session for them all with a little sun out as well, a bit warmer than the recent cold spell...
