Summertime longboard peelers a couple of years backAfter having the stuffing beaten out of me at footy last Wednesday, the knees felt good enough to go for quick rehab session at the local before lunch yesterday. The waves were small, offshores howling and the closeouts a plenty but it felt damn good to be out there again.
Saw Waveriders on Friday too when I was home working, t'was hard to resist really after reading Paudie's review. It isn't so much an out and out surf film but more a documentary telling the stories of Irelands (surprisingly) rich surf history to the current big wave exploits. Highlights, were seeing so many familar faces and having the north coast featured in a surf movie! The best was definetly saved for last though as the film ended with the Al Mennies, Richie Fitz et al's session at Mullaghmore at the end of 2007, the enormity of the waves really being conveyed by the big screen.
So if you've got a couple of free hours do yourself a favour and go see it here.
