I’ve grown up in the northwest, near Bundoran which has probably the best waves in Ireland and some of the best waves in the world. Because of that, it’s hard not to try out surfing at some point. My Dad is a dedicated surfer and used to push me into lots of waves as a kid. It was in the first lockdown that I really got hooked on surfing. My family was lucky enough to live within 2km of a beach that as it turns out, has some decent waves. School was off which gave us tonnes of free time, so if a ripple was ever breaking, my brother and I would be on it!

Robin is a 38-year old free surfer from the West Coast of Ireland. He's a full-time self-employed cabinet maker & family man, finding time to teach his daughters to surf & volunteer for the West Coast Surf Club in between chasing swells on the Emerald Isle. Late to the competitive surfing party, he found his feet qualifying for the Irish National team, motivated after sustaining a traumatic compound tib/fib fracture. 

Supported by & grateful for his wife Lexi, daughters Sam (7), Lana (5), friends, family & community.
