As I was driving down to the area the anticipation was building, you could see all the points were firing as a macking great swell lit up the coast. Upon arriving I peered over the cliffs at about 9am, about an hour before low tide, and I was really disappointed not to find anyone surfing. Aileens was pumping and not a soul to be seen.

A goat path you said ... Where?© 2009 - Marco Cavalleri



Normally people come over on the ski from Doolin, so I looked that way, but nobody was on their way. However, just as I was leaving, Fergal Smith, Tom Lowe and one unknown surfer appeared. Not below in the water having got a ride over on a ski, but grinning from ear-to-ear fully togged-up at the top on the cliff. Everyone knows about the goat trail down the cliff, but I dare anyone to try and clamber the 700ft/200m metres down - clutching a board - in windy conditions after a rainstorm... It's insane, I wouldn't do it with a rope.

Picture 5 is my favourite. Man alive, imagine paddling and seeing that drop! Feel sick thinking about it.

Pic 5 looks the best to me, sweet sweet drop in. they have more balls than a snooker table racked up. Fantastic swell in that day. Great photos and even better description. ;-)

Realy nice waves. It's so unusual to see a wave that size that's as clean as black ice. Wish I lived near there. Will just have to settle for the tiddlers we've been getting in North Cornwall this week.
