I was browsing tramoresurfshop surfboards - Found this pic of a sure fire way to damage/crack a board - just rest it tail first onto a hard surface.:mad:
Sorry, I am being anal but I hate seeing a brand new board damaged this way.
Always rest your board on your shoe or something.
Surfshop employees should know better!!!

ah yeah whatever,just because its touching off da ground,dat doesnt day its been damaged....cop on for yourself boi,and get a life,dont be starting problems,just because you have nothing better to be doing with your time.
And this doesnt damage a board,people like you droping in on everyone,is what damages boards you kook!

Dont know if any of you North Side boys had a look at Portmarnock today but from 11 til 2 today Killiney was pretty spectacular. Mainly bout shoulder height but the odd beast did roll in well over head high. Was a photographer there so hopefully will be posted on magicseaweed or something!

Lets hope its last till the weekend!

(traboy, relax, its a surfing forum, not a boy racer forum)

Portmarnock Looked amazing yesterday, In the water was a different story. It was just an absolute mess, caught a couple of decent waves but the rest of it was useles. Then again I was annoyed before I got in, broke a tail fin before I even got wet

yeah true sure its usually flat over there!!!!you my get courttown harbour on those big storm swells,when tramore is blown out

There's plenty of spots around Waterford that handle those big storm swells even if it's howling S-SW. Tramore isn't the only break in the county. Take out a map and use your head. When you've found them you can then follow in traboys footsteps by naming them publicly on this forum for anyone to descend upon in the same way as he's just done.

Haha, his mum must be real proud that her "boi" can defend her honour in such an articulate manner, I wonder if more then just boards have been dropped on that floor

I don't know too much on surfing conditions, but Killiney Beach looked quite nice yesterday. I drove by the DART station and there was on offshore breeze, and waves of ~2 metres by the looks of it. Didn't see anyone out in the water though

Hey all, Dollymount is getting cracking surf on a rising tide lately. I was out early on Saturday morning, 6 others out, great waves. They all died off on the ebbing tide.

Just drove by Portmarnock beach and after all the wind yday there's a decent (east coast) swell!! Stuck in work tho.... Typical

niall mc

Always on work days!

Was there anything big over the weekend? Was gonna take the board down yesterday morning to have a gander but laziness one out.
Need to get some friends who are living beside the sea so i can get a decent report!

conman78

Wicklow was great on Saturday morning, waves between 2 and 3 feet with a decent punch behind them. was down there bout 9. fair few out and was getting quite busy bout 11 when i left!

cornbb

Looks like we on the west coast will need to start heading east on big weekends like this

Griff77

Didn't get a look over the weekend unfortunately so can't comment but you can be guaranteed come this weekend it will be a lake... Always the same! :rolleyes:

Exar Khun

Anyone thinking of heading out today if the winds die down a bit ?

conman78

Tried get out in Killiney this eve, was relentless onshore. Took an absolute beating but was worth it for 1 half decent wave. 5/6 footers were too regular making a nice washing machine on the inside! Wind looks like it might die down tomorrow and sunday so could be well worth a look!

Exar Khun

I was thining as much the same so I went on a bender tonight
I'll check ot out tomorrow and sunday what with the residual swell....
Goddamn surfing in Dublin can be fun!

Rodent

It was damn hard work but man it was worth it

Exar Khun

Went out earlier, it was good craic. Will I see anyone Sunday round Shankill?

conman78

board in the car, low tide at 5ish. Will be out by the dart station in killiney or whiterock if its still too onshore. A repeat of 2 weeks would be splendid tho! clean and glassy, time will tell!!

Griff77

I take it all will be flat on the east coast this evening? Worth a look I suppose. Yesterday evening in Portmarnock was ok if only the howling onshore wind would drop away... Anyone see anything today?

waves

Bray was small and not that great. there was one guy out there though.

cue

Does North County Dublin/Meath/Louth ever have waves?

lightening

These Northerly winds might make Portmarnock workable tonight after work. Won't make it myself, sailing, let me know if anyone heads out!!!

conman78

Dont know about Portmarnock but Killiney was beautiful yesterday after lunch at low tide. Clean lines, slightly even glassy waves you could say with the odd 4/5 footer rolling in! Bout 6 or so hardy souls out!

Exar Khun

I presume we're all too busy surfing to post on this thread this weekend....

Was at portmarnock yesterday kitesurfing and was very messy but what was there was big nice for some jumps:p
