#Surfing - Surfing pros Andrew Cotton and Anastasia Ashley were among the speakers at the Surf Summit in Westport this weekend, a spinoff of last week's momentous Web Summit.

As The Irish Times reports, the networking event – which even attracted Taoiseach Enda Kenny to the Mayo surf haunt – intended to bring together entrepreneurs, start-ups and investors in a more relaxed atmosphere than the three-day RDS conference.

At the same time, it also highlighted the growing industry around surfing in Ireland, which has exploded on the world surf scene in recent years – with no small thanks to surfers like Cotton putting our big waves on the map.
