"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.
