Peter Conroy

Peter Conroy is an Irish Big Wave Surfer, he is also a Firefighter Paramedic in Dublin, Ireland.

Pete recently surfed and ran the water safety during the massive swell that hit Ireland from Hurricane Epsilon in what critics are calling Big Wednesday in Mullaghmore, Ireland (28 Oct 2020). Pete talks about how he got into Big Wave Surfing, and how he now takes the lead with water safety during these massive swells. We go in depth of how the surfers get into Big Waves and how the safety jet skis work together to rescue downed riders. Pete and his club the Irish Tow Surf Rescue (ITSR) also run Big Wave Water Safety Courses out of County Clare.
