About this product

Product Information

Becoming Europe's most successful and respected big-wave surfer is one thing. Coming from a small town in Northern Ireland to do so is another. This is Alastair Mennie's story...Surfing looks like fun. And it is. But in recent years, the world's so-called 'big wave surfers' have raised the bar to insane new heights. Put aside the Beach Boys and carefree, sunny California - a new breed of surfer is travelling to the ends of the earth in pursuit of waves the size of buildings. And among them, an unassuming 6ft 6' Irishman. Slater; Hamilton; Parsons; and, Gerlach - and now Mennie. For all of these men, the consequences are severe. The decisions in the water are life and death: '...the wave exploded on me, splitting my glass fibre helmet and ragdolling me for what seemed like an eternity in complete darkness...' Alastair, when things went wrong, Sligo, Ireland Dec 2009. This generation has witnessed a quiet revolution in Irish surf. Al Mennie personifies that picture. His is an honest and ego-free account of what it takes to surf waves that are big enough to sink ships. Before Mennie, Northern Ireland had no history of big wave surfing. He was the pioneer. The fact that he would become the first European to compete at the World Tow-In Surfing Championships in Chile makes his story all the more remarkable. This book tells of his big wave exploits at Half Moon Bay, Madeira, Nelscott in Oregon and Alastair's now infamous life-threatening encounter with 60 foot waves off the Sligo coast in the winter of 2009. Surf talk is cheap. In this book, the waves do the talking.
