Video Background by Tam Mullen:
From sunset to sunrise witness the beauty of the night sky with a galaxy of stars, auroras, noctilucent clouds, lightning, the Milky Way, meteors as well numerous aeroplanes criss crossing the sky.

Most of this footage is from the south shore of Lough Neagh in County Armagh where Barry is from. Several powerful solar storms in 2015 allowed for the aurora borealis to be so strong that it could be witnessed in the skies over Lough Neagh. During one of these storms on St Patrick's day I was able to take the opportunity to have a stand up paddle board with the dance of the aurora above visible to the naked eye which made for an otherworldly experience.
Also making a cameo appearance in the video is Lough Neagh Rescue’s Kinnego Lifeboat on a nighttime exercise (both myself and Barry are crew members).

As well as the view from ground level we step aboard some of those aeroplanes we see streaking across the sky. If you ever find yourself flying transatlantic get yourself a window seat with a northerly aspect and get ready for the ultimate in flight entertainment! I was lucky enough to capture auroras on flights over Hudson Bay and Newfoundland in Canada and even an aurora that was visible continuously all the way from Canada to the west coast of Ireland.

The rest of the footage comes from Belfast, Groomsport and Achill Island as well further afield beyond Ireland in Cavtat Croatia, Lake Talvijärvi Finland, Lake Washington USA and Eivissa Ibiza.

In Finland we again see the spectacular movement and colour of the aurora above the frozen landscapes of the Arctic.

I have not been back to Western Australia for 10 years, my last trip was pretty epic so i knew it would take a lot to top that trip. It has been a pretty rubbish start to the windsurf season in the UK and Ireland so i started to look further afield for wind and waves, i saw that Western Australia was looking pretty good for swell but wind at this time of the year is always a big gamble. Not putting too much faith in my Antipodian meteorological skills, i consulted the guys at Severne HQ who gave me the thumbs up to book my flight. Thirty seven hours later i fiind myself in the middle of the Western Australian desert armed with my ice box, a crate of beer, snaggers (sausages), my Starboard Quads and my Severne Blades. For the next 8 days i sailed and surfed every single day in pretty much perfection, i probably banked 6 hours in the water every day more than enough to get rid of the jet lag!
I met loads of new and old friends, the Aussies really do love beer, i forgot how much they love it!!

The day all pieces fitted perfectly and hit my goal by beating the international outright speedrecord, and beating the barier of 100 km/h. Luckyly I was followed by a cameracrew who made an item for national television.
