Surfing is becoming an ever more popular pastime on the west coast of Ireland and with some of the best surfing conditions in the world it's no surprise that thousands of people come from all over Europe and the world every year to surf waves in Clare, Sligo, Donegal and Kerry.

In a new film Gavin Gallagher documents the passion and obsession with surfing in Ireland. Intertwined with the story of a number of fanatical surfers is some truly remarkable footage and this preview (you can watch here) shows a group of surfers riding Ireland’s biggest wave “Aill Na Searrach” under the Cliffs of Moher last year for the first time ever. These monstrous 35ft waves break just below the cliffs and are exceptionally hazardous. Anyone who has been to the awe inspiring Cliffs of Moher will truly appreciate this footage. Amazing!
