Sligo’s Aaron Reid made his first pilgrimage to the North Shore recently. We were there for the last two weeks of his month long stint on the Rock. Here’s his words…
So this was your first trip to the North Shore. You've seen it in hundreds of photos and video parts, how was the reality compared to how you imagined the North Shore to be?
I didn’t know Rocky Point even barrelled, I just thought it was a fun but lumpy wave but when your out there you see how many rippers are getting shacked. Sunset was such a powerful wave I took a few poundings out there. I didn’t have a clue what the other waves were like. I knew the crowds were going to be bad though.
