WAVE OF MY LIFE | ONCE IN A DECADE MULLAGHMORE SWELL

On December 18, 2025, one of the biggest and most perfect swells in over a decade slammed into the Irish coast, delivering once-in-a-generation big wave conditions at Mullaghmore.
This was the wave of my life — a wave I dreamed about, feared, and chased for years.
On this day, everything aligned: the swell, the forecast, the crew, and the moment.
Riding Mullaghmore at this level is a humbling experience. Walking away healthy, alive, and injury-free after such a heavy run is something I’ll never take for granted.
Huge respect and gratitude to the team that made this possible:
Gabriel Sampaio for hand-picking this absolute bomb,
Barry for having my back since day one,
and Charlie from @Surfline for nailing the forecast.
This is big wave surfing at its rawest — no margin for error, total commitment, and pure respect for the ocean.
If you’re into big wave surfing, Ireland surf, Mullaghmore, Nazare, and once-in-a-decade swells, this one’s for you.
