[PT-Aileens] That's John McCarthy on the wave, they went out there for the last piece of script of an AIB advert, the wind was really calm, their was a good punch coming through in the swell as well, light was rubbish as usual here with low cloud and the Celtic drizzle, ad or no ad they still would've been out there, there was so many big barrels ridden this day. Paul O'Kane is driving the ski, Paul started towing this way a couple of years ago and it seems to work well with the bigger swells: you take a run at it from the backdoor side and just hit the throttle instead of the sling-shot. The reason being that you can see the wave the entire time, instead of having your back turned to it. John can read the wave a lot better too as you can see from this shot he timed it pretty well. This one was a bit of a monster as well so fair balls to him as the wind had just started to blow, all i can say is this day of tow surfing was the most amazing session i have ever seen in Ireland, what they were doing was crazy, there were insane barrels going down.
