Snowboarding in Ireland.................

Had my first snowboarding experience in ireland last wkend. Off snowboarding for a couple hours back down to the car and we were home in 20 minutes. We were going to stop off in the pub on the way back in all our gear, out of instinct more than anything else, but we thought better of it. I don't think we would have been able to get any hot chocolates and rum or Glühwein! Very strange experience but very cool. Gets me thinking about going living somewhere I could do it all the time!

Thanks to little brother for taking the pics.

That's it no more.

After two solid days of food, drink, family fun and several near death experiences on the ice rinks we call our roads it's time to kick back digest, enjoy some classic movies and get ready for the new year. Here's to 2010. Gonna be a great year!

Happy Christmas

Just a quick note to say happy Christmas to everyone. Got to go for a walk with my camera this morning which i hadn't go to do in a long while. Was good to get out although i am bummed i'm going to miss the best chart in ages tomorrow. There's a foot of snow though in some places up north so i reckon trekking up from Cork is a bit of a no no. Here's hoping Santa comes through with that helicopter so this won't be an issue again!

Anyway happy festivities oh and by the way there's a new Carve and Tonnta out which are filled with ace stuff from the past few months. Go grab yourselves some copies before they're all gone. You'll be blown away Fact!

Bits and pieces from cork

A lot of good big SW swells came through of late. It was funny cause nobody really knew where to go. There was quite a bit of driving and looking and driving and looking. With waves even in the most sheltered of spots and outer reefs, which i never even knew existed, going crazy it was an interesting few weeks. It was really nice not having to drive for 2-3 hours to get waves for once!

Some crazy heavy beachie sessions with more closeout barrels than one can count and even more pitchings and wipeouts.

It's all fun and games until someone breaks their leg.

New WL Issue

New Wavelength issue should be arriving in shops (Easons etc) today. Got to do a photoessay with Aaron which includes some of my best stuff to date. Get out there and grab an issue

Also have a load of stuff from searching around cork over the past few wks too which i'll put up as soon as i get a chance.

I can't believe it's been a month since i last posted up some shots. It has been crazy. I was away down in Biarritz for a while as well as moving house and College is still nuts. Also just back from a trip up north where i hooked up with Cain Kilcullen which was seriously good. Well for an hour and a half anyway! bit of a skunking the rest of the time. More to come on this later. Anyway here are a few shots from the CT down in France. First event i've been too but def not the last.
