Watch: Raw Irish slabs

It's a wave we usually only see when it's big, windy, and wooly - tow mostly, with the odd paddler spearing in on a 10ft gun.

But here it is smaller - relatively speaking - and it looks...well, manageable. Looks inviting even.

It's raw footage, wave after wave spliced together, and the soundtrack consists of rumbling whitewash and birds singing in the trees.

Still really raw and heavy and really, really icy cold. Jeez......you'd wanna choose carefully.

So good. Welcome change not having a clip that's over-edited and being able to listen to the roar of the ocean with the birds chirping in the background.

I'm with you Bnkref, great to just watch guys surf some solid waves with none of the razzamatazz, a bunch of good old fashioned wipeouts, and a post-surf-stoke chat to boot.

I love seeing the whole thing. The aborted takeoffs, the over the falls misses, the clean knife-ins.

"Dreamy"American dudes rocking a lot of stickers on their boards for some ok surfing, some things never change.
Waves look pretty fun though.

More of that please. Lovely zone. The whole coast would of been lighting up that day by the looks. Reminds me of solid NW WA, but in cold water, brrrr.

There's no better soundtrack than the soundtrack of the ocean.
