Ireland reef. Here is the note that came with it:

"Here are a couple of snaps of the West Coast. Pretty cool place with a dairy farm over
looking this reef break!! Amazing. The stretch of coast line that we were at has about five
reef breaks, two point breaks and a couple of rock/sand beach breaks all within about five
kilometers ... and the only thing that is close to the coastline is dairy farms!
Only saw three surfers apart from us."
