2. Scotland (Episode 2)
2 years ago
A video of a recent surf trip to Scotland. We got to surf awesome waves and walk along the Scottish North Coast, which is a seriously beautiful place. This was a great trip!!
Edit: So I have had some really good feedback on this vid, but also some very angry and also some concerned and constructive feedback. It may be hard to believe for some, but my intentions for the video really were good. (At the time of writing the replacement video is playing - in some rare cases a cached version of the old one might play for those who have already watched it, but I can't control that...)
It seems I may have missed the mark somewhat and was possibly a little naive about my voice over on the video. I have taken out most of it to exclude spot names and some other stuff I mentioned and replaced the video here with the new one. That means that any site with the video embedded will be showing the new one too.
I realise that for some it may seem to be too little too late, but I do apoligise to anyone that was offended and, for lack of a better phrase, pissed off by the voice over.
This was our first video and we are learning as we go so a sincere apology to the local surfers in the area and I hope you can believe that no harm was intended and this really was a case of believing I wasn't giving any locations away.
The video is a little weird without a large chunk of the voice over and when I get some time I will do a new one that hopefully appeals to everyone.

Those waves are very impressive looking. Well shot sir.
We are super keen to surf the West Coast of Ireland too! I've always wanted to go to Ireland - it's my motherland :)
I don't recomend you the video of the trip, but I recomend you the video of one of my trips to Ireland ;)

You will love Ireland, is a little more crowded than Scotland, but there are lots of good waves, and sometimes you would like not being alone there ;)
We were there at the beginning of November this year. I hear it's really small in summer, but the days are really long. It would be nice to have long days and big swell! :)
Ireland looks great (I watched your video) and we really want to go there! There is a spot called Riley's that I really want to surf...
How long where the days at the beginning of november ?
Riley's ? Yo like really sick spots.
I have only seen it in videos, but it's amazing. I'm keen to see the video of your surftrip in the emmerald island ...
Yeah, I've also only seen Riley's on video. If I do get to go there will definitely be a video of the trip!
Glad to see you guys in there giving it a bash along with rich s, not sure about the tow ins though:( Some filthy kegs nice one fellas!! Good to see you hitting the end section at baggies also :)
I could spend a few months up there exploring and I'd be a happy man! :)
I'd love to surf baggies again a few more times and get to know it a little better...
Number 10's was awesome - I wish I could surf it like that again. I like to think I would charge harder than I did... :)
good work!

Why didn’t you name it?
Don’t you want us there?
Would your friends at your home break get a bit upset if we came with all our friends and invited the world there too?
Is it yours and you’re a bit protective of it?
Do you like to keep it as it is?
Are you quite happy with respectful visitors who enjoy the hospitality and then keep their stories to their friends?
Would you be upset if somebody turned up and “sold” your break to make their name as a budding film-maker?
I wonder………
Thankfully our weather is so awful, all you’ll do it bring a lot of people a long way to spend lots of money getting cold and windblown. Fine for the local economy, but I’d be upset if I saved for a year and met our usual weather. Some of those who come will get some nice waves, but the vast majority will get skunked.
Why do you think most Scottish surfers go south to tropical areas for their big surf trips? It’s not because the waves are better, it’s because we won’t spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds for two weeks of sitting in a cold van in the rain, by a cold road to get two onshore surfs when it’s dark for 17 hours a day. We’ve all done it and we’re not stupid or rich enough to do it again.
Ireland is the same. Great on a good day, but you might need to wait a month for it.
Our weather might be rubbish, but sometimes it’s the best thing that ever happens to us. If it was good, the place would be mobbed, but it’s a complete gamble and you’re far more likely to get good surf and nice conditions for a lot less cash elsewhere. While I’m on the subject, if you could go out without gloves, it wasn’t winter.
You were lucky and got some nice waves and OK weather, but I’d think carefully about what your enthusiasm has led you to do.
I’d very, very, very quickly remove your voiceover and edit some of the film or you’ll really upset the very people who welcomed you and treated you with respect and courtesy.
You should show them some.
aw
Wow, manatees are cool man, that must be have been pretty cool!
pleasure to watch
