How long you surfing?
for about a year and a half
3 sentences that describe you/what
you do:
I'm a huge adrenaline junkie, been skateboarding for 3 years so
picked up surfing really easily, you know board skills, I work
as an aircraft engineer in Belfast and surf every weekend or when
I'm home.
Where and why did you start surfing?
Just the love of the sea and boards, one fell hand in hand and
they have been in love ever since.
Any surfing honours, comp wins etc?
Not as yet, Kelly Slater's worried tho
Your fave board: quiver me timbers
I'm riding a vintage tiki 6/9 round pin, currently getting repaired
at the min, fav board prob, quicksilver sticks, really light and
powerful.
"Surfing is getting more popular
in Ireland for sure". Discuss:
I think it's the whole surfer life style that people are after,
and big high store chains selling cheap ass wetties, cheers Lidl.

Not sure, haven't been to many, tho the surfism was excellent
on the 12th of july.
Favourite Surfer/s and why:
Taylor Knox, I've had a poster on my wall for years of him getting
a 16ft air of a wave, that's a different art in its own right!!
Best thing about surfing:
Freedom in the ocean, not having to worry about day to day problems,
and the feeling of catching a wave.
Your top music/reading/movies/tv/radio, surf or otherwise: Music
- usually very heavy before a surf to pump up, and chilled after
to "chill out"
Books - Kelly Slaters autobio and nats nats and
thats that,

Just having fun at the mo, but hopefully score a contest sum day.
