A story of passion and love, something everyone can relate to.
Waves have been pounding the Irish coast for millions of years.
Huge Atlantic low pressures generate swell, which feed the addiction of a rapidly growing eccentric community. One of the worlds most aesthetic and artistic pursuits, surfing was introduced to Ireland just over 40 years ago. Since then it has become the fastest growing and most awe-inspiring sports in the country.
