There were some spectacular waves around the coast of Co. Sligo last week with no doubt many a surfer struggling to take them on. It wasn't an issue for Ollie O'Flaherty however, who has a name for himself for being one of Ireland’s most talented big-wave surfers.
As you can see in the video below, Ollie, from Lahinch in Co. Clare, impressively took on a giant wave at Mullaghmore last week and earned himself a nomination from the World Surf League for "Ride of the Year".
