Description

Richie Fitzgerald's memoir Cold-Water Eden is an immersive account of his groundbreaking surfing career and his experiences as one of Ireland's first professional surfers. Born in Bundoran, Fitzgerald was shaped by the west coast of Ireland's rugged coastline, where he learned to surf at just nine years old. The early days of Irish surfing were marked by challenges, from using makeshift equipment to coping with freezing Atlantic waters. Yet the region's big waves have attracted top surfers from around the world, and Fitzgerald has ridden some of the biggest and most treacherous swells on offer. This memoir is as much a coming-of-age story as it is a thrilling account of surfing's global appeal. It offers a unique perspective on Ireland's emergence as a major destination for big-wave surfers, and provides an inspiring glimpse into one man's pursuit of his passion.
