“It’s great to have Sony Ericsson getting involved in Irish surfing,” enthuses Irish Female Champion surfer Easkey Britton. “As my sponsor I’m stoked that they are supporting an event like the Cold Water Clash which is shaping up to be one of the best displays of surfing in Ireland. It will be in a unique and fun format for everyone to enjoy and have the craic. I look forward to seeing this exciting event continue to grow and develop in the coming years, along with the current explosion of surfing in Ireland.”
