school, mainly to keep me in touch with ISA etc, and to break
the monotony of sales....Love the sea, been sailing since I was
10, ran watersports centres/sailing clubs for most of my 20's,
travelled NZ, Indo etc, love the ocean, love to surf.

"Surfing is getting more popular
in Ireland for sure". Discuss:
More popular than ever for sure, and as a typically selfish surfer,
I'd like them to all go away, but seeing as that's not going to
happen, best join em , hence involvement with Iain's school, and
haven't been able to as yet, but when time permits I'll join the
NW surf club too. The growth of the sport is inevitable, and I
believe it is vital that we ALL have an input into controlling,
educating etc. When abroad, I found in NZ they had a very positive
attitude towards other surfers, through clubs, info etc, as a
result very little agro, but in other countries, not so much good
attitude, or involvement, hence agro.
Most surf friendly pubs / gigs
/ eateries:
I like the bridge bar bundoran
Favourite Surfer/s and why:
Slater, pure commitment, very impressive
Best thing about surfing:
Space, freedom, peace
Your top music/reading/movies/tv/radio,
surf or otherwise:
The Big Blue, a beautiful movie and a must for all water lovers
Any ambition as a surfer?
Deeper and faster.
Dream surf trip:
6 months to cruise Asia
Anything to declare?
I wouldn't see surfing for me as a sociable activity, I don't
surf for the craic with others, or to meet folk, in fact the quieter
the better, for me. Having said that, I've made some great friends
through surfing.
