Surfer. Artist. Environmentalist. Explorer.

"As a little girl she dreamed of travelling the
world, being a pro surfer, and getting tubed
at places like Teahupoo and Backdoor. Now,
at 21, she's done all of that and more. She's
Ireland's top female surfer and a true disciple
of the blessed ocean life."

- Alex Dick-Read, The Surfers Path

Easkey has surfing in her blood. She comes from
Ireland's first surfing family and grew up in
Rossnowlagh surfing with her sister Becky-Finn.
Her Dad, Barry Britton, and his brothers were the
pioneers of Irish surfing and it all began when
Easkey's Grandmother returned from California
in the 60's with two malibu boards for her hotel.
Fortunately her boys had other ideas & rescued
the board & learned to surf!

Barry and Willie both like to charge big surf
and Easkey is following in their footsteps. Her
Mum and Dad taught her to surf when she was
5 years old and her life has revolved
around surfing ever since.

Easkey lives up to her namesake wave, the
famous west coast break which can be translated to
'fish' in Irish. She got her first taste for travel when she
went to Tahiti and became the first Irish person to surf the
infamous hell-wave Teahupoo aged just 16 and hasn't looked
back since!

Ireland's 4 time National Champion and current British Universities champ, she is leading the charge of the next generation of Ireland's surfers taking on the International surf scene.
