    Ehm, neither. Suppose I could chat about surfing though I've never partook. Water always seems a bit cold for me :cool:

    I used to live near Strandhill when I was younger and Tramore before that, amazing really that I haven't... I will someday though ;)

    :pYou could pick up a second hand board & wet suit quite cheap, keep an eye out on the buy & sell, and there is plenty of surf shops around. I probably wouldnt suggest starting out by buying new gear! Once you get the gear transport would be the only other issue. :p

    yo MeeMee,

    what you wanna chat about? lets just surf! you got a local break? I'm land-locked! One of a very small Monaghan surf crew! Used to head to Donegal every weekend for a dip & laugh. aint been in 14 months cause my crew hit Oz for the year and been slowly makin their way back through Vietnam & Thailand. But they're back next week! WooHoo! Probably be makin our way back up round Dec12-19. And of course theres always the NewYearsMornin surf with our stripping off of wetsuits at the end! I swear we go bluer on new years than any other day!

    Ahhh it's nothing compared to Sligo/Donegal really, we get our good days alright though, check out the gallery here http://www.corksurf.com/gallery/
    The beaches are usually maxed out at 6ft (v. rare!) but there are reefs that can handle bigger if you've got the balls for it :)

    Just back from garretstown. No wind and a big swell, lovely clean sets.
    Get there tommorow for more of the same methinks. too short notice? :)

    Inchadonnay and long strand are usually a couple of feet bigger, much further away for me though but worth the extra petrol!
