hahah - I think it was, macca, and I think he got crushed. :lol:
Looks like there's a fairly big crew of paddle ins (bb'er or surfers) out there tho' - reckon the tow-ins wouldn't have been to popular on the day.

Must be a pretty keen crew too given the water temps and conditions for a spot like that.

The wave reminds me of a beautiful girl I once knew's collarbone, but oh that I were young again and held her in my arms.

That was fantastic... a nice video for everyone to enjoy! The bodyboarders got snapped but massive props to both them and the surfers who were paddling in for the waves!

I think thats the same cliffs etc seen in A Blank Canvas(Bodyboarding video).

I reckon the camera angle is adding a lot to wave :?:

and looks like a weird place to surf big cliffs and all, it'd be exiting thats for sure :!:

and kudos to the towers as it looked they were the only ones who could ride it and for using the correct craft for the day ;) :D :lol:

Fantastic vid BC!! Thanks!! I lived and surfed in Ireland for 4 years and to get a day with swell that size, that clean and that close to perfection is rare ...... but as I always said when Ireland works it's world class!!

what a mind-boggingly perfect session. can only imagine the distant stares and incoherent babbling at the pub after that.

:shock:
