Good Craic

Good Craic

Two Ulladullamen and an Irishman walk into a bar. Nope, not a sick joke, but a tale of three mates chasing heavy Irish slabs, sprinkled with a few hundred pints of Guinness, having a Good Craic.

“On this last trip, we had a handful of good days over two months, but also had two weeks where we couldn’t even get in the water. But when the payoff happens, and you score world-class waves, it is so worth it. It’s such a challenge and, so you get a great sense of achievement. You’re battling the elements, not the crowds.” - Russ Bierke

Monster Mullaghmore

Monster Mullaghmore

Monster waves rolled into Mullaghmore Head, Ireland, recently as the coastline was hit by the largest swell in the last five years. It created some of the biggest and best conditions seen here in a very long time — a rare convergence of power, precision, and raw Atlantic energy.

Many big wave pros turned up to charge the insane waves including: Nic von Rupp, Conor Maguire, Gearoid Mcdaid, Andrew Cotton, Mason Barnes, Justine Dupont, Natxo Gonzalez, Tom Lowe & more.

Big respect to everyone surfing on this day, the safety team, and especially the handful of paddle crew doing it the old fashioned way!

Hossegor XXL

Hossegor XXL

The Atlantic has been firing — Nazaré, Belharra, Mundaka. But this Saturday, La Nord in Hossegor delivered one of the cleanest and most powerful sessions of the season.

Heavy 4-metre-plus waves, a perfectly shaped sandbank, and endless barrels. A true winter highlight.

MASCARAS – Surf Film from Mexico

MASCARAS – Surf Film from Mexico

The MASCARAS project draws its strength from the symbolism of Mexican masks, true emblems of transformation and inner power.

Rooted in the country’s culture, these masks both protect and reveal, embodying the duality between shadow and light, calm and intensity.

This duality also runs through the film: during their journey to Mexico, the surfers explore spots with opposing faces—some peaceful and meditative, others powerful and untamed.

This alternation between serenity and storm echoes the search for balance in surfing, as well as that of each individual, oscillating between control and letting go.

MASCARAS thus celebrates the union of strength, spirituality, and freedom.

UK Pumps – A Cornish Goose Chase

UK Pumps – A Cornish Goose Chase

As a relentless swell lashed the North Coast of Cornwall in the early weeks of December. We got in and amongst it and tried to document as much as possible even in the varying weather and low daylight hours. Join a heavy crew of local talent as they score some world class waves in and around Newquay. These swells don't come as often as we wished but when they do you have to capitalise.
