Ultimate respect to Irish surfers. Anyone who rides 30 Mulaghmore can only earn respect .....but 70'? That surfboard ain't been made.

I see it up the road from the beuatiful city of Dublin. My Irish heritage made me install a few hangovers there, and up at Johnnie Fox. They don't really beat their wives on the head with clogs in Cogherhead do they?

I was kidding about the tow surf by the way. Not even an Irish surfer would take that on.

There was no 70ft swell, i think it was around 30ft that time, the biggest swell weve ever had here was around 50ft in jan 09.
