Oh yeah, I've seen pics of Mavericks. The waves it produces are monsterous!
Aill na Searrach was only surfed for the first time last October and even then, it was only really Irish people that knew about it. Once they released the video in January, that is when the real buzz started and Kelly Slater famously stated; "It looks like the best wave in the world." They're expecting a whole load of surfers there this autumn/winter. Crazy bunch!
Surfing is one of those things that I have always wanted to learn, but never got around to actually doing it.
Heh, maybe someday.
