hey henhen, I'm living in Waterford and am new to the surf game myself!! Getting a new cottage overlooking the sea only 5 mins from Tramore so if you fancy rocking down to waterford just let me know. Recently single and looking to get a lot more surf practise in as I'm bloody awful at the mo!!!

So what did people think of Bundoran at the weekend , i took yeaterday off and stayed up an extra night defo worth it had such a day in rossnowlagh yesterday noone in the water.

anyone who PMed me about the accommodation im just waiting to get the number for the house as i lost my phone last over the weekend , will have it asap

so who is organising these drinks, cause it looks flat on the east coast for a while to come

Hen.Hen · 23-09-2008 8:57pm

Hi gavDUB, I appear to be organising the drinks. I'll be in The Duke on Thursday from 7, in a lovely green hoody, trying to exude an aura of general surf-ness, and hopefully not in there like a lemon on my ownsome.

I thought Rossnowlagh was a bit small on Friday-Saturday, but good enough for beginners like me. Atmosphere was fab on Friday night in the Bridge, wish I could have stayed for the whole festival!

dap75au · 25-09-2008 11:28am

Hi HenHen, really sorry, but have a bit of a family thing that came up at last minute that I can't get out of. I hope it goes well and that people turn up. I promise (fingers crossed) to get along to the next thing being organised. Post up how it turns out.
Cheers

I'm heading into town now, and I'll be in the pub later - see you guys later (hopefully!)

Hen.Hen · 28-09-2008 10:21am

Great to see everyone (well, all three of us), on Thursday. For anyone who didn't make it, a few pints were had, a variety of surf and non-surf conversation was made, and grand plans to take over the world were put in place. And we might be going surfing together.

Bit difficult to just scoot up to Dublin for a pint but if I can make it next time I'll totally be there!!!xx

So, when is the next surf trip?

dap75au · 29-09-2008 9:51am

At least you weren't sitting there by yourself then. Are any of you guys in the ECSC?

hey, you still heading up this weekend? I'll be heading up Sat morn with a friend, hopefully either stay in that place you stayed the other week, or the surf company. Must meet up for a surf +/ a pint?

On another note anyone out in Dublin / Wicklow area this week? Is it worth the drive?

napapa · 01-10-2008 11:23am

yeah,heading up saturday morning myself.should be there bout 10ish.i'll give you a shout when i get there.

eamonnm79 · 01-10-2008 1:45pm

You guys should join the eastcoast surf club.
They hold their meetngs on the first monday of every month in gleesons pub Booterstown.
They arrange weekends away regularly and more adhoc weekends happen most weekends.
They know their stuff with regards good spots, dependng on the weather.
Also very welcoming to newbies.
You can join online aswell as eastcoastsurfclub.com
Well worth it.

napapa · 01-10-2008 2:01pm

checked out the ECSC website,i'd be well interested in joining the club. is it possible to pay membership for the last 3 months?

Sneachta · 03-10-2008 8:46pm

is everyone headin to bundoran only? any takers for strandhill? any special reason for going to bundoran besides the beg/interm weekend? which is generally better?

cue · 03-10-2008 11:44pm

I prefer Bundoran cos you get a choice of waves around there. Tullan is a wave magnet and when its too big or messy there is streedagh/rossknowlagh.
Strandhill does my head in with rips :eek:

amber1 · 07-10-2008 9:41pm

Anyone in Cork that weekend??? I'm house sitting and not brave or good enough to attempt surfing on my own!!!!

ibh · 08-10-2008 4:09pm

Does anyone know if it's worth taking a trip to Strandhill or Bundoran this weekend for some surfing?? I haven't been out for a while but i am dying to get out soon cause i'm away for the next few weeks.

Hen.Hen · 08-10-2008 10:38pm
