Summer time sailing

 Can't believe summer is just around the corner,
I can smell it in the air, see it in sky and feel it on my skin. Those days when the sun shines all day and you can happily walk around in shorts living the life.
You can spend most of the day outside as opposed to sitting inside beneath a blanket feeling sorry for ones self. Yes its just around the bend...Bring it on:)

You may imagine these shots are in the summer but you'd be wrong in actual fact they are deep in the depths of winter between a storm and in an icy wind. Classic Topper action.Its going be great to get back out in my mates boat this year all going well.Anyways i'm off back to work..Lovely window cleaning..Chao Chao

 Hi out there, Sorry the quality isn't great in these pictures I seriously need to invest in a new dslr with a massive zoom one of these days. This is a local enough spot starts working in the winter months and can be a good bit of fun. This day it was just my mate Gman out, as I was sick and so I took some photos instead. I know there not the best but they'll do. Anyways ends up Gman got himself into a nasty shallow section further down the point and must have fell directly onto his knee because he came out with a massive slice straight through his wetsuit and just underneath his kneecap.I'd say he was pretty fortunate to only be out of the water for a couple of weeks though he missed a couple of amazing weeks..Painful in a lot of ways.

Come on mate,I'd have been all over that.

How Hollow does that look:)

Surf Ireland Random Pictures

 Hey out there in the world of online unrealities here's a couple more pictures I captured of some waves down in Co.Kerry.
Not sure who the surfer is and I'm not telling you where these beautiful waves are or I'll be a marked man in those parts. You'll just have to get out there and explore a wee bit.  

Can you make out the two happy souls out enjoying this long right hander that comes good most winters.








This wave below is so good. We named it Boulders. I'm not sure if that name has stuck or if its still just referred to as the wave around the corner. Many good surfs where had at this spot in the early days of my surfing experience, A lot of nice wipeouts and severe beatings, lessons learnt each time i surfed out there. 
I hope to get back down there sometime soon to revisit her perfect fast lined up wall, To give it a good go at getting shacked out there. Which I never managed to do but Its certainly very possible. Yes I will return soon to experience it some more. 
Hope the photos inspire you to get out there and find some virgin waves in Ireland. There has to still be some lingering around the place off some island or deserted headland..Get out there!!!
