Video: Surfer rides massive wave at Mullaghmore this weekend

Tom Butler provides the surfing, Peter Conroy provides the NSFW commentary.

Tom Butler provides the surfing, Peter Conroy provides the NSFW commentary.

We have featured footage of Mullaghmore’s famous wave many times on the site and we make no excuses for doing so again. This video, shot by Peter Conroy, shows Tom Butler riding a monster wave off the Sligo coast at the weekend.

The wave is so big, and Butler’s ride of it is so impressive that Conroy let’s slip the odd swear word or two so if you are on the bus or in the office, definitely stick the headphones in.

Once you see the wave, you’ll understand why he was using those words too.

NOTE: Original article stated that Mullaghmore was in Clare. That has now been amended and the offending JOE has been sent out to practice surfing in the car park as punishment.
