NOAH LANE: BLOW IN
12/16/2023 - 17:00
Surfing in Ireland comes with a heavy set of challenges, which apparently makes it more rewarding.
The people you surf with aren’t just there for the weather: that’s what makes it special, and for Noah, that’s why he’s made it home.
You have to layer up; work harder; it’s cold, it’s dark, it’s windy, and it’s wild (most of the time); but the payoff is like no other.
Blow In is a meditation on Noah Lane’s ten-year love affair with Ireland. Swept up by heavy left slabs (and the odd right), casual road rules, the warmth of the Irish community, dramatic landscapes, institutional pubs and Guinness on tap, Noah has slotted in on the West Coast as a permanent fixture.
Or at the very least a well-received blow in.
