Billabong Monster tow in event Mullaghmore Head goes off

Sunday 13th Feb saw the first annual Billabong Monster big wave tow in event kick off in huge surf with prime conditions at Mullaghmore Head, County Sligo, Ireland. Northcore team rider Richie Fitzgerald and long time tow in partner Gabe Davies placed a most respectable 3rd and 4th place in both events which were attended by all of the regular Ireland chargers and watched by big crowds from the headland.

Northcore Amabassador Richie Fitzgerald said of the day “ There were amazing waves today, me and Gabe teamed up for the first time in 3 yrs,we got a 3rd and 4th in both events. The whole day was great, everybody was charging, unbelievable surfing and waves, Gabe got wave of the day, super mental barrell and I got wipe put of the day, nearly blacked out the heaviest beating I have ever taken. I'm feeling very sore and bruised and my knee is screwed too, so looking forward to rest tomorrow!”

Because of the knee injury Fitzgerald will be kept out of the water for a while but with the surf still firing both Mullaghmore and Prowlers will be targets for the tow in teams this Valentines day.
