It was the first time that id seen 2 man heats and it worked real well. Check out jonnys waves, he was on fire in this heat. I was sitting in the channel watching and i saw him do a super paddle out take off, didnt get it on the camera though. http://nisurfkayak.com/blog/2008/07/2006-world-cup.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dessiesurf)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205516.post-4448882727435581685Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:17:00 +00002008-07-15T23:53:21.552+01:00Here are 2 waves filmed from both the head camera and a shore camera. The head camera needed to be pointed a little further down the line for a better view. The two perspectives of the same wave look nothing like each other, interesting. The quality of this video is poor, i guess i need to work on the settings to improve it. http://nisurfkayak.com/blog/2008/07/more-head-camera-footage.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dessiesurf)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205516.post-8711423633193764472Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:26:00 +00002008-07-11T01:32:00.987+01:00Heres more from the Irish Open weekend.

Here's some photos from a heavy beachbreak in Donegal I managed to catch a couple of weeks ago.

A half six flight out of Dublin airport left us all wanting a good surf. We drove along the coast in hope of finding some surfable waves but strong winds and dumpy surf forced us onto Mundaka. As we waited for the tide to drop on Saturday morning we saw the surf starting to peel on the main break but throughout the day the surfhttp://nisurfkayak.com/blog/2008/05/mundaka-2008-andys-blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Gerry)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205516.post-6584426275824724675Thu, 01 May 2008 10:26:00 +00002008-05-01T11:45:56.885+01:00Sunday started with a 9am meeting where it was decided that Bakio would be the competition site for the day, so after getting boats onto the car and everything packed up we headed over the mountain to see what the conditions were like. There was a strong cross – onshore breeze blowing at Bakio and the sun from Saturday had been replaced by clouds, so not much opportunity to top up the tan http://nisurfkayak.com/blog/2008/05/mundaka-2008-sunday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Gerry)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205516.post-4850995339632883433Thu, 01 May 2008 10:24:00 +00002008-05-01T11:25:39.119+01:00Everyone woke early on Saturday with fingers crossed that the conditions would be the same as Friday. After a meeting in the square at 9am the call was made to meet at the judging site in Mundaka for 12 when the competition would start after the tide dropped. The conditions first thing in the morning were ok, but the swell dropped as forecast and by lunchtime the wave was inconsistent with http://nisurfkayak.com/blog/2008/05/mundaka-2008-saturday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Gerry)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205516.post-2002103663899105639Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:06:00 +00002008-04-30T17:49:21.504+01:00It was an early start all round as the 2 Kings and I left Derry and Jonny and Andy left Portrush before midnight on Thursday for the drive to Dublin to catch the 6am flight to Santander. After a traffic free drive we checked the boats in and with no hassles at all found ourselves on our way to Mundaka.
