A rare monster wave, appearing only on the most violent of winter swells, breaking off Ireland's wild west coast.
When a once-in-a-blue-moon forecast lit up the charts, big wave legend Andrew Cotton teamed up with the UK's most exciting young chargers, Ben Larg and Louis Thomas-Hudson, for a strike mission, or ‘Misean Tobann’, to hunt down this phantom wave.
This is the story of that mission. Battling brutal Atlantic conditions, freezing water, and the unknown, the team puts themselves on the line to ride this Irish secret. Is the reward worth the risk?

"I’m super stoked to share my new surf edit, SAME SAME! This project means a lot to me. As you know, the surfer’s life isn’t always easy, so every bit of support really makes a difference and keeps the dream alive." Says João Mendonça
Shot across contrasting landscapes—from sick cold barrels in Portugal to the tropical waves of Indo. Hit the link and spread the love people.
The sandbank at VVF in Capbreton turned on, producing perfect waves and a dream session. Offshore winds, sunshine, and a solid crew of surfers set the scene. Among them were Jeremy Flores, Crosby Colapinto, Kauli Vaast, Joan Duru, and Leo Fioravanti. With solid pits on tap and an amazing vibe, it was a classic, epic day of surf in Southwest France.
Mr Smith is renowned for his clean, powerful, and stylish surf style that blends raw athleticism with effortless grace. One of the most technically gifted and aesthetically pleasing surfers to watch. Jordy’s surfing is characterised by his explosive turns, fluid rail work, and a seamless combination of power and finesse that make even the most difficult manoeuvres look easy, sit back and watch the big man dig in at home.
