In Stock Now !! 'Driven' is one of the most exciting and genuinely interesting surfing stories ever to come out of Britain and Ireland and will fascinate surfers and non-surfers alike. Focusing on 2 experienced surfers Alastair Mennie and Andrew Cotton as they come together to tackle the giant waves of Ireland's West coast, which in the last couple of years has been exposed as legitimate big wave surfing territory on a world scale. The film follows the 2 surfers through all their highs and lows from their first experiences as a tow team, training sessions, big waves: both 'tow' and 'paddle in', one of the most incredible wipeouts in world surfing and many huge wave sessions since. Experience the work, preparation, motivation and total commitment it takes to surf big waves in Ireland.WAVELENGTH review - August 2007 Issue 167"Documentary from filmmaker Mr B. Following the story of Irish surfer Alastair Mennie and Devon surfer Andrew Cotton over the last two years. From them first teaming up to start tow surfing to the present day when they are probably the most experienced tow team in Britain and Ireland. Slick, well edited, at a good pace and genuinely interesting. Critics will probably say that they aren't Laird Hamilton or some big name but this is a genuine story that's close to home. Filmed in Ireland it includes horrific wipeouts, big Aileens, Mullaghmore and much more".
