Hi Platty!
From 1976-78 , I went to school with a guy from kilcare called Ryven Grant… know him ? [his nickname apparently was 'sea pig ’ among the boys.] His brothers, from memory were :seth, ruthen, and I think he had a sister too. Is his dad something like a dentist, from memory ?
small world !
he used to talk about avoca point and copacabana …
hi Bert !
I have no car, so don’t get around much…
Will you be going to Ross’s longboard shop in the near future ? [it’s only about 800 metres from where I live…
I’d like to meet you…I’m a big fan of those fins you have in his shop, and on this forum. Miss you at ‘Surfer’, but this forum is probably the right choice for your creativity actually!
cheers mate !

I’m from Vigo, in Galicia (northwest of Spain). Now i live 15 minutes from Vigo, in a place called “Nigran”.
Lots, lots, lots of empty beach breaks for any kind of wind/swell conditions, and cold water all year long. The bad thing is that you have to spend some ours driving before surfing if you aren’t lucky enough…
New Zealand then Japan now Victoria, Australia
