"A childhood dream of surfing giant waves in California became a reality for Irish big wave surfer Al Mennie during a transformative trip to Mavericks in 2003. The experience confirmed Al’s capability to ride immense surf and ignited a groundbreaking journey to uncover Ireland’s hidden big wave potential. Project Red - Uncharted Surf tells the story of one surfer’s pioneering dive into untested waters, inspired by the daring innovation of the Mavericks surfers of the 1990s.
This audiobook offers an in-depth account of how ocean charts, a boat, and paddle power were harnessed to locate and ride some of Ireland’s most challenging big wave breaks. It delves into the specialised equipment, meticulous preparation, and sheer determination required to ride waves that had never been surfed before in chilly Atlantic waters.
Project Red - Uncharted Surf is a compelling tale of exploration, innovation, and the pursuit of the extraordinary.
