Video of surfing off the Sligo coast yesterday during the storm. Mad bassas. Some of those waves must be close on 50 feet. The surfer is dwarfed by them

Yeh done that. packed it in a few years back, Different then in those days, pair of speedo's and some swimming goggles, When you fell in it was like a tumble dryer, but i use to swim to the bottom and wait until it passed over,
Rode bigger waves than those baby's, Could have made a good living teaching at level 1, but i spent more time showing the babe's how to hold a board

So how long did it used to take you to get down to Newquay in the old VW surf bus before they built all those Motorways Reg?

Brownie 127's all pointing at me, Got head hunted once to appear at Fleetwood but i turned it down, Sacrificed my one shot at stardom for my family,
