Very few people would think of Ireland as one of the world's hottest surfing destinations, let alone the sleepy seaside town of Mullaghmore. But in the depths of the Irish winter adventurous surfers from around the globe descend on this little village, braving the freezing North Atlantic swells to take on waves as big as multi-story buildings.
