Back skating,

Few shots from a trip into Ennis Skate park with Johnny Smith and Seanie Mac.. 

Seanie got injured early on so no shots of him.. 

Johnny was going nice and big on the quater pipe.. Yeww..

Me and Johnny have been off the bike and skateboards for awhile now so we were both delighted to get back rolling.. I hadnt skated in nearly a year till that day.. Still managed to pull some cool stuff off without hurting myself which was good. :) 

I dont know if being back skating is good or bad.. Its good when you land stuff.. Not so good when you get destroyed on the concrete.. 

Heres a link of a bit of video i did on the day too.. yeww

Hossegor Madness..

Website is updating for awhile. Should be some nice new stuff up there in the next day or two. :)

This is a short Vid of a stay me and the boys did at koala-surf.com in Hossegor.
We didnt video enough surfing on the GoPro at all. We were to stoked to go get waves that we forgot the GoPro every time. ha!!

Its mostly us just messing around.. :)
Enjoy!!

Endless Madness..

Sorry to all my blog readers and followers.. iv been missing for nearly a full month!

Theres a good reason behind this disappearance.

I went to france for a week with the crew. It was pretty wild.

Stayed at an epic spot called Koala Surf Camp, hung out at the famous Dicks Sand Bar, partying till 8 every morning and then surfing at least once a day depending on how hard we partied the night before. :) 

It was an epic trip, waves were small but perfect and warm weather and water. 

This is when the boys read the bus timetable and realized that if we didn't walk the 20yards away from the bus stop like the hot girl we asked said to then we would have caught the bus that was 2 min behind our last bus and it would have brought us straight to the door of Koala. Next bus was in an hour. :)

Dicks Sand Bar is the spot in Hossegor! Good tunes, crazy staff and full with amazing looking french girls.. :) 

The owner Dave gave me the staff camera to go shoot for 10 mins around the bar, couldn't help turning the lens around and getting myself in for some shots.. Ahh French girls.. :)

Il do a proper post on France in a few weeks when all this work has calmed down.

Once back from France I was straight back into work with the Emerald Surfwear's New Range Photoshoot. All the new gear is amazing. They have gone up another level and really done well.

You will see my shots go up on there website and there facebook within the next week or so. 

I am super happy with how it all went. Proud of the shots!! The day was unbelievable, It started with the photoshoot then we all hung out and went for little surfs in between before all meeting up for a Night Surf at spanish Point. It was mad!! There was a small film crew on all day too so expect a wicked short clip within the next few weeks.

Above is Damien, Cillian and Donough on a Spanish Point beachie session during that day. These lads have young talent in bucket loads. 

Gemma Hayes at Kennys Bar, Lahinch.
She was amazing!
Kennys Bar is really starting to bring in the big acts. Watch that space!!

Look out on Emerald Surfwear's Facebook for my photos from the shoot,
Would love to hear some feedback. :)
Cheers!!!
