Amazing series, I lived in Ireland for a few years and surfed many times in Bundoran, Easky, Lahinch. It takes balls to surf there, everything is hard, the wetsuit, the bigger board, the strong freezing wind, and heavy water. My huge respect for Irish surfers!
Ha ha met this guy at Moy Hill. I felt so humbled by his presence and attitude. I’ve got nothing but admiration for him. Visit the farm to see his magic at work.
Thank you. Really well done. This is what I miss about the sports "industry" Once, we (i used to work in television) used to spend a lot more time searching and capturing wonderful stories- They were not about flash. This is full of that soul that i miss. Again, thank you thank you thank you.
thanks for pointing this out 🙌🏼 We love having the chance to produce films like this... gotta show the soul of the sport as much as possible. Check out this one too, if you haven't had a chance yet: ua-cam.com/video/d1S1_jVkH0g/v-deo.html .... More to come in the near future...
I from south Devon in the uk and have been to some of the remote spots around Scotland’s Thurso east n I’d imagine Ireland is very similar!very few surfers/bodyboards if any at all,Beautiful coastline and empty waves! Beats warm water lineups full of pros with huge egos any day of the week!
You just have to surf in Ireland. It really can be as beautiful and empty as these vids show. And as cold. Learnt to surf 30+ years ago in Bundoran, Inishowen.
Yeah I’m from Ireland and when I watch UA-cam I get surprised by the amount of surfers in the water. It’s very easy to find an empty beach, even on the sandy part.
I am from Cork in Ireland. Spent a week in Devon in the nineties in a beach village called Instow. Visited Linton,Ilfracombe,Westward Ho!,Barnstaple and Bideford to mention a few..... Devon such a beautiful county...almost as nice as County Kerry!!!!
Paddy Don't surf ------------ Yeah, right. The Atlantic ocean is hella cold. Rocky coastlines and these dudes are out there shredding waves like big kahunas. commitment now that is commitment.
Surfed with Britton brothers yesterday on some nice sized waves absolutely stoked to see then in the water and let me tell you them "boys" still got it. Mad respect!
Wonderful, I can smell the fresh cold ocean and the windswept land. Brave young men taking on icy majestic and terrifying waves. You're in heaven guys! Walk with the Gods!
Seeing Crab Island brought a big smile to my face. I've had some of the best sessions of my life there and I'm from the west coast of the States in California.
I'm Irish but didn't start surfing until I was like 14 and I surf mainly in lahinch co clare and I remember when I was just starting surfing I was meeting people who were sponsored and big wave surfers and I didn't realise who they were but its just fantastic that we have some of the best waves in Europe if not the world it feels good
Bundoran is the best surf town in the world. Best people with just as great waves. When your a tourist, your the only one and they want you to surf! Beach breaks to point breaks Ireland has it all!
OMFG! Hell elevator shaft drop ins in freakin IRELAND? Who knew!!?? That was beyond amazing, hats off to ALL those paddys there! Can't wait to see pt 2
Cheers red bull for sponsoring a man who knows how to balance life and love surfing and also love his family and his country! That's a class act and we need more of it! Just one more reason I only drink red bull!
Great video... just recommended it my brother from Cape Cod... turns out he met Barry close to 20 yrs ago had a couple (probably means several) pints w him.... bought a couple of his drawings which I have seen.... I guess he was a great guy and even offered to find work so my brother could stay and surf... being from The Northeastern US I can understand cold water surfing
I used to swim in wales a lot when i was younger and it's damn cold and very dangerous. I imagine the Atlantic coast of Ireland would make that look like a paddling pool.
My favourite parts of this video and thoughts: [1] - 0:05 - the Irish summed up in one second. [2] - It is amazing that we need English subtitles for an English speaking country. [3] - 2:52 He is a small man but got big balls. [4] - I have never seen so many untanned surfers. [5] -nearly everytime they go surfing, it is a mission to get ready for a surf (botties, hoodie etc.). I respect that [6] - 6:16 - this guy shreds. [7] - lots of his sponsors left him when he decided to change his life. However, it looks as though red bulled stayed or started?
Amazing. Not a competent surfer myself but the farm/surf lifestyle looks fantastic. Is there accommodation? I'm sure you'd get a few seasonal workers from here willing to help on the farm whle learning the local spots and how to do it cold water style
The section about stepping back from pro life - with the footage reversed was really great. The whole thing was excellent but that section stood out. 👌🏻 (also - would be good to see a credit of the director/editor/camera ops etc)
Great vid. Love those cold water waves. Good to know there's a place in the world that surfers continue to share some kind of fellowship, not out to do each other in as is typical in high profile, warmer weather breaks, and all that localism bullshit ..
Amazing, here are some lads Na hEirrean surfing someplace MUCH colder than Mavericks! Tu mhaith liom uisce beatha na Albainach, Seanlin Mhailceir Dhub?? Sea'!!
"He's a small man, but i tell you, he's got big balls." What a legend! XD

OMG!! Old man he is real hero ♥♥
Great to see my country shown in such a good light. Surfing has a real history here, thanks to Red Bull for giving us a platform.
You are welcome, Bob! 🤙
WOW , fergal smiths comments about `THE MAGIC` really hit me....just keep it simple....life that is..... great clip!!
Ha ha met this guy at Moy Hill.
I felt so humbled by his presence and attitude.
I’ve got nothing but admiration for him.
Visit the farm to see his magic at work.
Surfed with that old dude in Rossnowlagh a couple of weeks back. Awesome
Hes always out i see him on the red/yellow longboard all the time

Yay, some sick bodyboarding in a RedBull video. Gotta keep the boogie spirit alive and thse guys definitely ripped.
www.redbull.com/int-en/tv/video/AP-1MVGYBGZ91W11
This is the best filmed, waves killed and best heart I’ve seen in a film. Or UA-cam rip. These men should lead the world of surfing for the future.
Wonderful, I can smell the fresh cold ocean and the windswept land. Brave young men taking on icy majestic and terrifying waves. You're in heaven guys! Walk with the Gods!

The true essence of surfing here.
These Irish surfers are great! Love their abilities, and their heart (and balls!). I
will hit these surf spots when I go to Ireland to go golfing.
Who here surfed in Ireland yet? Leave your stories below.

I live in Mullaghmore surf everyday after school
Stopped at all the breaks we could find along the Wild Atlantic Way!
Bundoran is the best surf town in the world. Best people with just as great waves. When your a tourist, your the only one and they want you to surf! Beach breaks to point breaks Ireland has it all!
Never been surfing in Ireland but the next trip will take place there
What a great video! This is what surfing should be for all of us.
Unreal waves...looks so fun and COLD!!!
i love your videos in ireland they're always so good keep it up
A real Corker of a documentary from Mikey. Cool to see that Barry Britton is still riding the dream.
Watching ‘Artemis Fowl’, and was like, “They Surf in Ireland?!” Very cool! 🤙🏽
yes to this video and yes to Mr Fergal Smith.
Mullaghmore looks like it has challenging inside section at the very end.
Respect for those who ride it

Hardcore. Those are some shallow reefs. And the cold. And so much water moving at big Mullaghmore.
Cheers red bull for sponsoring a man who knows how to balance life and love surfing and also love his family and his country!

Epic documentary🤙 Thank you Redbull for bringing this to my attention🙌 A true eye opener! Think I'm going to Ireland😁
Good bunch oof blokes in a nice part of the world. Respect.
AWESOME footage. great story similar in may ways to my neck of the swell. Except there is yet to be a 'big wave' found in Canada.... long overdue!
Great content! Can't wait to see the rest... love the older fella!
I Love the Irish
I used to swim in wales a lot when i was younger and it's damn cold and very dangerous. I imagine the Atlantic coast of Ireland would make that look like a paddling pool.
Magical!!! Sweet, thanks for sharing!

Richie Fitzgerald. Cold Water Eden. Great book
Pink hearts, yellow moon, green stars...Shure and beegora. The surf be pumping, eh?

Irish surfers = true madcoonts .
Massive respect.

Insperation for life... Thank you
So beautiful
Surfing was brought back to life by George freath. An Irish Hawaiian who coached the Duke.
It’s funny how they are so encouraging for others to surf with them, that would change quick if it was crowded like jaws
yes! when's ep2 out?
Inspiring, thank you.
The section about stepping back from pro life - with the footage reversed was really great. The whole thing was excellent but that section stood out. 👌🏻

I like the speed too. And agriculture.

Kinda miss the old days alright like back in the late 80s when there was noone in the water much.

Which one of you disliked this video, I demand an apology
Probably the British
Probably those of us sick of their local spots being advertised to the world. In all fairness.
Rossnowlagh is really good for surfing (I’ve never been surfing there but there is a surf school and I swim there every year and the waves are great)
Top doc, they surf the ocean waves, we surf the sound waves
Hel Ja!!! I wish I was still fit enough to surf, I long for it so
I love this!!!
Old man new legendary of the world
Proud to be Irish
Brilliant
6:30 min the Guy is a great surfer
Sick
