Squish?
Squished. Getting squished. I got squished. The waves are squishy. We got squished. The tide was too high. It was a squish. I have to work. I’m getting squished. There’s a hole in my wetsuit. My wetsuit is squished. Getting squished is part of life, and it’s certainly a huge part of life trying to score waves in Ireland.
This magazine grew from the idea of having a film festival. The festival is something that showcases all of the talent in wave riding and documenting in Ireland. It’s an excuse to get everyone together in the cinema and celebrate what we all love. The purpose of the festival is to have a dignified platform for the community. To be proud of their work and their waves, and to inspire other people too.
