Some photos from the Tow In competition at Mullaghmore on Sunday. Today's surf report is in earlier post below.

My photos are taken with a little digital camera with a zoom - the results are a bit impressionist.  For professional pics and videos of the event check these news links:

Here's what Mangosurf has to say about Easkey Britton, the only woman in the competition: - "Easkey Britton est la seule femme qui figure dans le cercle très fermé des chargeurs invités à l'évènement, elle a prouvé que ce n'était pas qu'une histoire d'hommes!

TRANSLATION: Easkey Britton is the only woman who figures in the very closed circle of "chargeurs" (what's a chargeur? surfer or ski driver? Easkey does both)  invited to the event, she has proved that it's not only about men.

Spot the surfer! (Clue: he's at the bottom of the wave. That's the ski on the crest.

Ouch! - where's the surfer?

and his rescue ski
