back to kiwiland for some real waves
for real the irish are super friendly, maybe not as much in the water though, the guiness was awesome and scenery similar to home, but the waves were a joke, only scored 2 average days outta 1 whole month! glad to heading home for some real west coast nz juice, shame about the crowds in bundoran, some good set-up's though!

Surf in irland
I´m from Brazil and I wanna go for a surf trip in europe, starting in Irland I will be there for a whole year, and I wanna know about how frequent can I surf there with a 4/3 and if I should bring boards with me or if I can get boards there. Thanks already

totally over hyped
its such a shame, as decent surf spots around the globe get more and more crowded, lower quality surf regions rise up, yes, Ireland has good waves, no denying, but the wait between surfs is painful, can fire for days on end then nothing for weeks! oh, and the locals are getting less and less friendly as time passes, the tolerance of tocals (overseas travelling surfers who think they are locals due to a job in the local bar for a few months) is waning. Get there while you can - or is it too late, possibly already a paradise lost. RIP Irish soul surfing.
