Big wave paddle event in Europe

I'm raising money to represent Ireland at a xxl big wave paddle event at lavaca in Northern spain . There is no sports funding in ireland for such athletes and it's a struggle to raise money for these events . Im currently the only surfer in ireland invited to such events and will be representing Ireland at the highest level for big wave surfing .
