Back in August, N'East Mag locked down N'East Editor Jon Coen, Brand Manager Tyler Briggs, photographers Nick Lavecchia, Ann Coen, Snapwater and talent, Randy Gaetano, Josh Clements, and Jamie Moran to capture the best the emerald isle has to offer, which, on top of creamy delicious stout, also includes countless reefs with thick reeling barrels.

To our surprise and good fortune – we hit it right this time.

Unfortunately for any Guinness lovers in the group, the only foam they are sure to see will be the result of a 15 foot + long period groundswell that is slamming the coast of Ireland, and it is only getting bigger.  Extended forecasts predict the swell to double in size over the coming days.  The crew has already sent over some shots that are—to use the local language—Brilliant!  N'East expects more of the same and look for the results of the trip in the Photo Annual on newsstands late February.
