From Near Death To Wave of a Lifetime: Surfers Are in Awe of Tom Lowe’s Ridiculous Irish Slab

Seven months ago, Tom Lowe was a broken man. He was laid up in a Tahitian hospital after miraculously surviving another near-fatal wipeout at Teahupo’o, his second escape from the slab in as many years.

So when one of the best Mullaghmore swells in years started barreling into the coast, he made sure to take in the moment.
