Editor’s Note: These pieces are intended to offer a deeper look into each episode of surfer Fergal Smith‘s Line9 series, Growing, a new clip published every two weeks. The series is a year in the life of Smith and his brother. With a new clip published every two weeks, the series follows them as they take a step back from the rat race while spending days tending to a sustainable garden and surfing the readily available Irish slab.
Author’s Note: My main reason for doing this series is for showing the what else I’m passionate about — aside from surfing — and to try to promote all the good, positive things that people are doing.
For what we’re doing here with the sustainable living and farming and all, this clip is bit lazy I suppose. It is pretty much all the surf footage from the past year — we thought the surfers out there might want to just watch some surfing and not be bored by gardening for once!
It is always nice to put the surf footage together and keep it simple. One thing my brother Kev tried to do through the edit was show all the different boards I have had the pleasure of riding.
It is crazy that the series is nearly finished now… what a quick year it has been. I hope you have enjoyed.
