Most of the time, I really do think the Irish can do anything, except, of course, paternity. I never thought, though, to include surfing on the list of extensive and far-reaching Hibernian accomplishments. Perhaps now I should. Here's a clip from Powers of Three, an upcoming documentary about three Irish surfers--Mickey Smith, Fergal Smith and Tom Lowe--in search of the perfect wave off the western coast of Ireland.
I have to admit, this looks pretty cool--although, for the life of me, I don't understand why the Irish feel the need to color their experiences in tragedy. Parts of this trailer look--and sound--as if it could either be about surfing, a truth commission, sexual abuse or the Magdalen Laundries.
