Lately I have been getting bored of surfing the usual spots, It was time for a change and I needed to reignite the spark of ‘the search’ so I went in search of some slabs. Unfortunately after trekking across many a field we didn’t find much! The conclusion was that we needed more swell, different tides, better winds, flatter slabs………….bla bla bla

Here is a shot of a huge slab that we found, but no waves. I have ‘miniturised’ the image using some photo-shop techniques.

Here is a really cool video of the miniturising technique!!

Well its that time of the year, we are starting to see the first of the winter weather and swells! Im heading to Lahinch this weekend to give Craig a good send off, he is getting married in September! Not to worry Craig you have plenty of time before your eyebrows grow back! All the boys are heading up so should be a bit of crack! Here are some photos from last winter and one of the man himself giving it the biggest poo-face I have ever seen!
