Do you know there is a large opening for a surf photographer from Ireland.
If you can take shots of barreling waves in the best section, you can make quite a few $ on the side and become world reknown and subbed by the leading brands sometimes if you get one cover shot they are looking for your next best shot and pay you a retainer so they know it will be theirs.
Rip curl have a thing they call 'the search' its about empty unridden waves of class.
You just have to check out ocean weather .com look at when a swell is hitting your coast and drive to it when its off shore wind and tide comming in and you should find someone out there doing the thing.
Ireland is a rare treat in any surf mag.
Oceanweather Inc: Current Marine Data
Moderate to Big swell just about to hit your mid to north west coast! On a East wind or anywhere from Ne to se wind would be just smooth like the inside of a beer bottle and barreling.
Wish I was there.
