Aileens Surf - Western Ireland

Filed under Surf Photos @ 8 - January - 2007

John McCarthy cruises into the inside section of Aileens, Western Ireland. A huge flat slab known as the ‘tennis court’ lurks just below the surface. If the swell hits it right you get a gaping, makeable tube; if it hits wrong, which it does a lot on particular swell directions, you don’t come out.

Jonn, i’m finding respect for your testimony being a ‘man of God’ i wondered to what extent He defines your life.

I’m a born again believer and i’m becoming increasingly familiar with the extent of the global stoke for surfing.

I know many loose thier lives each year trying to brave a bigger wave, their souls embracing eternity, their story etched in memories, surf mags and trophy cabinetts if they’re good.

I’ve read a bit about your reputation, in the Surfers Path mag and wondered whether you would ever share more about your faith…

I hope the year ahead brings you even closer to your God as surfers marvel at your ability to embrace the awesome power of a Creator God.
