Surf Trip // Ireland

This fall was a whirlwind of back to back travel!  After wrapping up in Sheboygan, it wasn't too long before I was on a plane again.  This time I was crossing the Atlantic for my second trip ever to Europe -- my first being to Barcelona back in college.  With Norwegian Air service from TF Green here in Rhode Island direct to numerous locations for budget prices, it was about time I took another trip across the pond.  The travel group would consist of myself, Rhode Island board shaper and surfer Kevin Tanner of Soundings Surf Co, fellow photographer Cody DeGroff of Cape Cod, and my little sister who was itching to return after a semester in Galway several years ago.

Here in Rhode Island we were met with sun and clear skies, accompanied by buoy reports of about...
