Ireland's Sea Sessions returned for another weekend of world class surf and music in Donegal's swell mecca Bundoran. Music lovers and surfers alike returned to familiar shores for a three-day surf and music extravaganza from 24 - 26 June.

Whether you were after the music, the surf or the all-round good times, Sea Sessions had something for everyone. Aside from the buzz of competitions, BMX displays and beach rugby, 2011’s musical line-up was positively bursting at the seams with talent, boasting stellar acts such as DJ Grandmaster Flash, Ziggy Marley and The Go! Team.

For those more addicted to the crash of waves, the Expression Session boasted a host of top local surfers competing against Pros from across Europe. Winner of the Expression Session was Alan Stokes and best local performance came from Cain Kilcullen, from Easky, who has earned himself a wildcard entry in Relentless Boardmasters in August.

Aside from the music and surfing, Ultimate Frisbee and an extreme sports film festival were also thrown into the mix. Skaters were catered for too at The Relentless Titan Show and Ramp Rage Jump Show providing half-pipes and vert ramps galore.

Being the first European to be on the cover of Surfers Journal (the most respected magazine in surfing) so both myself and Mickey were over the moon.
