PIC: A Coleraine surfer stands toe-to-toe with a massive, crashing wave

This is a really incredible image.

For the time of year the weather has been fairly kind to us - Storm Alphabet hasn't even started yet, but this picture from Castlerock pier in Coleraine would lead you to think it's the end of days.

What makes the image is the fact that professional surfer Al Mennie is facing it down like an absolute boss.

Surely this man is a Game of Thrones cameo waiting to happen?
