Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 28 January, 2013 : - - Nic switched flights last minute from hawaii to Ireland in the hunt for some big waves and to prepare for upcoming Pipe contest in Hawaii. Drop in on the action and check out some other European chargers in full bloom.

As Nic puts it: Last minute change of plans made me postpone my Hawaiian trip and chase this swell all the way to Ireland. The swell window was small, it was 0ºC degrees, the ski was covered in ice, but the one day session made the trip worth it. A big thank you to Joel Grey, Al Mackinnon, Barry Mottershead, Allan Mulrooney and my filmer Jose Pedro Gomes for making this trip happen.
