3 sentences that describe you/what
you do
To pay for the good things I work in aesthetics, if you need
something to look good I’m your man. I’m also obsessed
with the preparation of quality cuisine and enjoy fine wines,
so don’t turn up with Blossom Hill.
Ìý
Where/Why did you start surfing?
Enniscrone I think. The discovery of the perfect Irish activity
were getting cold and wet are an integral part of the sport. And
as they say, once you pop you just can’t stop!

Any surfing honours, comp wins?
Just in it for kicks
Quiver (ie detail/s of your board/s),
plus your fav board:
7 “6 Westbay Hybrid, Love my 9 “2 Westbay for sheer
retro class.
"Surfing is getting more popular
in Ireland for sure". Discuss: There are
some surfers out there who would rather it wasn’t, but it
can only really be a good thing if it gets people off their rears
and outside. The more the merrier.
Most surf friendly pubs / gigs /
eateries:
Sandino’s of course. The best eatery is a little place called
Sugar Juice Café, Opunake in NZ. Seriously top quality
Fish and singing Chef’s.
Favourite Surfer/s and why:
Alastair Mennie and Andrew Cotton for showing the world the might
of the Irish waves.
Best thing about surfing:
Where do I start! Being showered by the sea in an offshore
breeze, post surf beans and sausages cooked on the gas stove.
Finding the ideal break after spending the day scouring the coast,
and not a soul on it.

Your top music/reading/movies/media,
surf or otherwise:
Music: Has to be Underworld, best live act ever.
Radio: Ralph McLean’s evening shows. Restored
my faith in Radio.
Reading: The Swarm makes for decent holiday
reading if a little inappropriate for ocean activities.
Movie: Thicker than Water was a great show,
with an excellent clip from Bundoran. Great soundtrack too.
Any ambition as a surfer?
Surf until I die.
Dream surf trip:
Donegal on a good day is going to be hard to beat.
