Fergal Smith is one of the world’s foremost big wave chargers. His story, however, is far from typical. Having grown up in the Irish countryside he has a strong affinity for nature and sustainable living.
In this episode of Growing Fergal goes back to his roots, quite literally, and shows the world his other passion which is growing (some rather delicious-looking) food. County Mayo is emerald green, rainy and endures dreary long winters. It also happens to get slammed by icy cold slabs of ocean all year round.
Fergal catches a few waves on his very first surfboard before giving us what we really want at 5:38.
