“Halloween week was a big week for Mullaghmore Head [in Sligo] in Ireland, two epic sessions went down for the visiting New York crew alongside lreland’s local contingent. A week of good times, hell wipeouts and a Halloween to remember for Kurt Rist, Will Skudin, Dylan Stott, Neil Britton, Peter Conroy, Shambles, Paul O’kane, Peter Craig and Barry Mottershead.”

Nic Von Rupp recently changed his plans to surf in Hawaii for Mullaghmore in Sligo. He writes:
“22 of jan, what a day… Last minute change of plans made me postpone my hawaiian trip and chase this swell all the way to Ireland. The swell window was small, it was 0ºC degrees, the ski was covered in ice, but the one day session made the trip worth it.”
Duuuuuuude!
Waves as big as houses heading for Sligo this weekend.
Some experts are already forecasting that next Sunday and Monday’s swell could see waves at Mullaghmore easily topping 30 to 40 feet.

A bookmark is stuck in a forgotten book that is one day knocked over by wind. It experiences its environment by surfing the pages that turn in to ocean-waves, enjoying the ride of its life. As the book cover closes, light reveals new challenges.
