    RTE's website had a report last night that a surfer's body was recovered off Ballyheigue yesterday. I can't find anything on the story today. Anyone else hear this? Very sad if it's true. Any name or address?

    Sad indeed,i know there was probably huge waves and all,but surely it was madness to go out in the weather that was there yesterday?
