Paudie
Male 38

Living in the magical kingdom of Kerry.

Started surfin' in 1990 when my buddy and myself went into Waterworld in Tralee and bought two 7' pop outs. We were very lucky in that a fresh swell had just hit and we got lovely waves for the week where we thought ourselves to go down the line in a matter of days. He comes from a stable of surfers in the family for years but we started at the age of around twenty one.... too busy with chics, pot, booze & punk rock during the teenage years which I regret.

Surf travels include ; Yacht charter around The Canary Is., Bali (three times) France, SoCal, Spain.

Other interests include... sailing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, golfing, snowboarding, squash, and drinking copious amounts of French wine.

Aloha.
