Mullaghmore Paddle Session 4th January 2014

I'm gutted ill miss the "biggest swell of the decade" tomorrow but I am just home after two awesome days shooting around the North West and met some great people along the way. Its great to put a face and meet people that I have only met over Facebook!

So the swell of the year is probably starting to kick in or soon will be and I'm sure there is a whole host of Big Wave riders already here. I was privileged to shoot a few of the guys paddling at Mullaghmore yesterday. It wasn't big by Mullaghmore standards but winds were super light which is rare and we had a massive low tide so there were some 8ftrs that were sneaking in and going square!

Here's a few shots of some of the surfers, hope you enjoy!
