Small waves and BBQ's - Ahh summer!!

Summer is such a crazy time of year. In reality we all go a bit mad I think, Lahinch turns into a watered down version Miami with beach partys, nightclub madness and hundreds of people lining the beach. Its hard not to get sucked into the day to day habits of going absolutely insane. 
I used to be fully sure summer was my favorite time of the year. Im still not fully sure if winter is either.
One side of my little circus like brain is loving it and enjoying every second of the madness but there is the other half. The more Irish and less Miami party half, that has solid built in images of last years winter tickling my memory. Summers good for now, great really, but role on the chilly winter I say.  


Conor Maguire & Aaron Dees got skunked. They came down from Bundi to surf 2ft Rileys. 


Still some fun little sets coming through and i got some sick GoPro footage from the water. 


This is the weapon of choice in the water, GoPro HD on a stick. It's getting me some amazing clips for a project i'm working on at the moment for WhiteWater Surf Co in Miltown. 

All the boys got in the end was a few baby barrels and some new tears in there wetsuits. 



Ber's sunny summer head. :) 


Ed just loves bbq's...


MANZO!!! He always wanted to be famous and now his moment is here. He can write on his CV now that he featured on my blog. :)

GoPro goodness!!

Check out this new short clip of me doing the Emerald Surfwear shoot.
Cool short one to have.



I am so happy at the moment. I have pretty much stolen Pat from Whitewater Surf Co's GoPro underwater camera and been shooting video with it for the last week. It so good to be in the water. The thing is unreal and i was lucky enough to get out swimming at Rileys this morning. It was amazing. Even though it wasn't huge and not too good but i was still buzzing.

Heres a short clip from the day. I am a good bit out of position for this one but got more comfortable at the end of the session.



Dug this one of Mitch Corbett out of the archives the other day while looking for another shot. Iv started to build my new editing bay too. So will hopefully have a nice new workspace to edit in the next few days.
Iv been Fishing and diving with the lads too.
