Cool shots

Home at last

Its great to be home especially being greeted by good waves. I thought it would be a few weeks before any real swells would arrive but 1st September the waves arrived with full force of any winter swells of that size. I had been surfing Teahupoo for the past month but I swear the waves in County Clare are far heavier. I had few waves but it was real shallow and hard on the surfboard so I had a go on the boog which was mad fun.

Trials Tahiti

Hi guys, sorry for the late update I have been real busy last few weeks.
I am on my way home now after three months on the road.

So I made it into the trials, What a great experience it was trying to mix it up with the worlds best heavy wave surfers. I made two rounds which was nothing too amazing but it felt good to be out there giving it a go.
I feel very privileged to be out there representing Ireland everyone was spinning out seeing an Irishman in the event. I cant wait to go back again next year and improve on my result and try and push Irish surfing to a new place.

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS

Tahiti

So I made it to Tahiti! Very glad I went for it now. I am staying with a legend of a guy "Simon" and we had waves nine days straight from when I first arrived. Nothing massive one 6-8ft day and the rest just a nice 4-6ft.
Now it has gone completely flat and its the first time since I started traveling over two months ago, feels weird but nice just to chill.
I will try and get more photos up, here is one from one of the days..

Someone had time on there hands...

Check this cool clip Scott Bauer showed me.

Thanks for the machines

I would like to say a quick thanks to Relentless and Yamaha. Relentless for loaning us one of there Land Rover Defenders. It was our main mode of transport throughout the winter and it proved invaluable again, especially with the winter we had in Ireland (snow and a lot of ice for over two months). Also I have to say a huge thanks to Yamaha for hooking us up with a beast of a jet ski (FX HO) It was our work horse in the salt this year and did us proud. Thanks guys, hopefully we can put the machines through there paces again next winter.
