Firefighter and Big Wave Surfer
Peter Conroy is a Dublin firefighter, and after bills and rent are paid, he has about EUR50 for the month - which he puts towards surfing-related expenses such as fixing the ski, repairing dings, and travel costs. Conroy's deep passion, some might even say obsession, for chasing big waves and hunting massive barrels at one of Ireland's scariest slabs, is awe-inspiring if not jaw-dropping.
