'Tow-in Surf Session', Ireland's first Big Wave Invitational surf contest demonstrating tow-in surfing and organised by The Irish Surf Rescue Club (ISRC) in association with Billabong and Monster Energy was held at Mullaghmore Head, Co.Sligo in 20-30ft surf. The conditions for the event were spectacular with crowds gathering along the headland from the early hours of the morning in anticipation of the exciting display of big wave surfing to come. Hundreds of people watched 22 of Ireland and Europe's best big wave surfers take on the 'beautiful beasts' of Mullaghmore reef throughout the day over three rounds lasting one hour each. A high level of preparation and safety was also demonstrated by The Irish Surf Rescue Club Water Patrol who were on hand to help surfers after some heavy 'wipeouts' who were pushing their surfing to the limits.
