  on next : Good Morning Ulster


Name: Jay Doherty aka the dordsman,


Hometown: Muff village, Co. Donegal

 

Home region: Inis Eoghain

 

How long you surfing? 5 year

 

Where/Why did you start surfing?
Been skateboarding for 16 years, bones are starting to tell me to wise a bap, sea is softer than concrete.

 

Any surfing honours, comp wins etc? Won the 1st comp i entered, the handicrap division on the irish nationals about 4 years ago, been tryin in vain to outdo that since

 

Your fave board: quiver me timbers - somehow i've managed to gather various sorts of 6.8s and a fantastic plastic for the summer

 

Most surf friendly pubs / gigs / eateries:

Tinneys international in Derry, Squealin Pig in Muff

 

Favourite Surfer/s and why:

Monty Montgomery always impresses, though it's quite dangerous taking several big waves on the head whilst in a laughing fit

 

Best thing about surfing: goodbye cruel world

 

Your top music/reading/movies/tv/radio, surf or otherwise: Stephen Kings 'the body', Brendan Behan's 'Borstal Boy', a drink with Shane McGowan, 'Barrytown Trilogy', spring to mind. TV?- I don't watch 'the s**t box' but enjoy the occasional video session with Blazing Saddles, Coming to America, Airplane and the like.

 

Any ambition as a surfer?:
Learn how to skateboard across a wave.

 

Dream surf trip: offshore Donegal with a vanful of buddies, followed by a romantic meal for 2 in the Muff chippy...not joking sire.

Taxi Driver (text): Hi, Sarah talking about driving - does this city not have the strangest park and ride system? You drive into what is a stone's throw from the city centre and park your car and then get a bus to town.
