"There seems to be nothing but pictures of lads riding huge waves or heaving slabs coming out of Ireland lately (and more power to them), but it seems that people forget there is some really great logging to be had over here. This night there were just three of us sliding ourselves silly til well after sunset. I eventually cracked and ran back up for the camera when the light was just so so nice. The surfer in the picture is Maurice Gaynor, a local blacksmith, riding a Tom Wegener signature, at Castle Freak in West Cork." Photo/Words: John Beasley
