Work Can Wait

Warning: this may seriously distract you from work

Like the photo on the front of today’s Irish Times? You’ll love this.

IF YOU’VE SEEN the Irish Times today, the image on the front will surely have whetted your appetite for more gratuitous surfing footage.

Here at TheJournal.ie, we always like to oblige – especially where work avoidance strategies are concerned.

So try this video, shot by Sean Aron and Lugo, and starring Andrew Cotton, the surfer photographed by Aaron Pierce in today’s newspaper.

Now, turn on your Out of Office Autoreply, and enjoy. You’ll be stoked you did.
