Chasing swells is not a easy task around the Atlantic. Short winter days, long drives, the cold, the wet, the wind make the chase even harder. Put simply, it’s miserable. Generally conditions only become favourable for a short time and this is when the opportunist gets his reward. Follow Gearoid McDaid through his winter and watch as he reaps his rewards.
