Ready for another Surf Session

We were all week keeping an eye on the reports and had one place in mind for the Sunday. Lucky enough the swell increased a bit and the winds stayed WNW. We pulled into Lahinch and it was about 2-3 foot winds were onshore and looked like hard work so we kept moving. When we arrived it was at low tide you could see the swell lines rolling in and there was a small wave hitting the slab but it was just a bit too shallow. We gave it about 45minutes to an hour and this made all the difference. After...

Cornish at 3-4ft glassy

Surf on the West Coast of Ireland

Had a great day of surfing the West Coast. We took off down the west on Monday 12.04 We had been keeping an eye on the reports all week. There was a big swell to kick in in the afternoon. We started off in Doolin about 11 o clock and this place was on fire. We surfed Doolin point for about an hour and a half. It was just over head high and clean out back. There was a lot of water moving about on the inside and was tricky enough getting out at mid tide. Pulled into a few serious waves there was...
