Surprised no body has beaten me to this. Seems to have gone under the radar on a lot of surf forums....

It's a damn shame.

Does anyone know the location where it happened??

All I know is that it was on the Inis Oirr.

The man had been a surfer for nearly 30 years. Physically fit and capable.

RIP, very sad to hear this. Likewise, I had not heard of a surfing-related death in Ireland before.

Its weird its totally gone under the radar.

I was expecting some minister to ban surfing or some other retarded knee jerk reaction.

Still its such a terrible thing.

Very sad it was on some other forums as well. He was buried on Innis Oir the following Saturday. His son Eoin is a prominent surfer on the Irish scene. Condolonces to his family.
