How long you surfing? 4 years

 

3 words that describe you/what you do: Climber, Surfer, Doctor

 

Where/Why did you start surfing?
Something to get me through the long wet Irish winters when climbing no longer an option!

 

Any surfing honours, comp wins etc? I wish!

 

Your fave board: quiver me timbers - Just the one. A westbay board 6.7

 

"Surfing is getting more popular in Ireland for sure". Discuss: Well I am one of the new additions to the sport so I do think it's good to see new faces out there. Can be crowded at times though... Hopefully if a big community develops, problems with sewage/untreated waters will be made more of an issue, and hopefully sorted out.

 

Most surf friendly pubs / gigs / eateries:

BALI!

 

Best thing about surfing: Just being there, magical beaches, the water, and when everything comes together and you get the ride!

 

Dream surf trip: Surf charter in the Maldives

 

Anything else to declare? Thanks for a great service with the weekly batchcast. I think its excellent.

Andrea: My husband, children and I were viciously attacked by snowballers. These are not children. They broke car windscreens last year. Is there no-one who can help?
