How long you surfing? Since a nipper

3 sentences that describe you/what you do

Final year Magee. Design and communication, soon to be travelling surf bum

Where/Why did you start surfing?
The oul fella threw me into the Atlantic before I could walk or talk- sick joke dad.

Any surfing honours, comp wins?

yeah, a few here an there.
(Ed; Shauna has won many Irish and British titles over the years)


Quiver (ie detail/s of your board/s), plus your fav board:
Powersource range 5’9”- 6’3” all time favourite is a 5’10”x18 1/8” squash tail. So much I can't stop surfing it. It now looks like a yellow acne bubbled piece of crap.


"Surfing is getting more popular in Ireland for sure". Discuss: Course it is- sure it's great craic.

Favourite Surfer/s and why:
Cain Kilcullen - seriously impressive power and talent for an Irish Man. Kelly Slater (obvious reasons)
Taj Burrow
- the air time.
Gubby - the man saved me from insanity when I moved to Derry three years ago and couldn’t drive to the beach. Respect

Any ambition as a surfer?
Get barrelled everywhere possible.


Dream surf trip:
Lifelong- worldwide, hollow waves, tropical please, in comfort with a chef and a good crew loving the banter.

Anything else to declare?
Yes, I’m not really a Nordy so reckon I probably shouldn’t be on this yolk
