This weeks guest is Melanie White from Rebelle Surf.

We had a very real conversation about life in Sligo in the times of current regulations and why there is not enough calm discussion from both sides.

Here is some more about Melanie she shared with us too . . .  

I own Rebelle Surf, a surf and adventure school/company. It's more than just a surf school though. It's a space to return to joy, strength, Connection with our life force and the life force in nature. Incredibly simple but incredibly powerful. Most people are living from a very complicated and burdened identity and I don't believe that's who we are in essence. Immersing ourselves in a fun, pure, unpredictable environment is exactly what most of us need!

When done consciously with self reflection and recognition it's a powerhouse of potential.

Are you a Sligo Native? If no what is the story of how you moved here?: 

No I'm from county down originally. I left there over 20years ago for the love of surfing and the Atlantic.

What do you love about living in Sligo?: 

The outdoor wild spaces

If you could wave a magic wand what would you fix or bring to Sligo ie. facilities, shops, restaurants, culture/arts?: 

I'd provide more facilities that support local adventure businesses and those who love to adventure. Simple things like running water, cold showers, toilets.

What are you looking forward to in the future in your personal and professional life?: 

I don't actually live that way. I find when I'm looking forward I'm never satisfied. I tend to look at the present and play with it in its fullness.

What are your must do Sligo recommendations? Restaurants/Walks etc.: 
Hazelwood
Bridgefoot restaurant
Hatch 22

How can people find you online? and if you would like to make a special offer to our listeners that would be great - just an idea. Thank you :) :
