Keelan was born in Waterford Ireland, he moved to Tramore (local break) 3 years ago where the ocean quickly became his second home.

I was raised on the roar of the Atlantic,
salt threading itself into my blood,
born of Bundoran winds and the long-rolling hum
of tides that never learned to rest.
I am the one who waits for giants.
At Tullan I greet them—
mountains of moving water,
cold-blue, breathing, alive.
They rise, and so do I,
a silhouette balanced on the trembling edge
between calm and chaos.
At Mullaghmore I carve my stories,
my board a brush, the ocean my canvas.
The waves remember my name—
they call it back in foam and thunder,
in the rush beneath my feet
that feels like flying without leaving the sea.
I am a surfer of massive waves,
a rider of power and danger,
a seeker of the moment where fear and freedom
become the same thing.
I am the pulse of the Atlantic—
and it is the pulse in me

I live on the West Coast of Irealand in a small rural town called Castlegregory. We have many beaches around us which means I can go surfing in my spare time when there are waves. I love surfing and competing as I get to meet lots of new people and we all have good fun. It also means I get to travel and surf in new places.
