Prowlers: New XXL Wave Ridden In Ireland

by The Editors on November 9, 2010

1224282943520 1Ireland appears to be delivering another wave into XXL contention according to a story in the Irishtimes.

The latest wave, dubbed “Prowlers” by the hardy crew of Irish, British and South African surfers who first ventured out on it yesterday, breaks on an undersea reef about 2km (1.2 miles) off the west coast. While they are refusing to disclose its exact location, the surfers, including Andrew Cotton, reveal they have been waiting five years for the type of conditions required to surf it.

They’re saying this new spot bumped up some 40-50 foot faces thanks to Hurricane Tomas. Looks pretty amazing.
