    Hi Folks,

    I was just wondering does anybody know a number or contact details for somebody who does surf board(+wetsuit) rental in or near Cork City?

    I've been looking for a while and can't seem to find anywhere, the closest I got was the surf school out a Garretstown, but they don't seem to be answering the phone at all, and their website doesn't seem to say anything about rentals. Can't find anywhere else....

    Any ideas would be much appreciated,
    Thanks

    hi

    there're two schools/retal shops in gtown, there's Gtown Surf School and Sandy Bottom Surf School, they are there at the weekends from now until june (during the summer gtown surf school is there 7 days a week)

    to rent a surfboard is E10 and a winter wetsuit is E8, they say it's for an hour but i often didnt hand them back for over 2 hours and they were cool

    they dont rent booties, gloves or hoods...you'll prob get away without them until october but after that i would recommend them

    they have foam boards if ur a first timer, long boards if ur into that kind of thing and banana boards which are the more or less like a bic

    I have a mobile number for sandy bottom ill post it when i find it

    If its ur first time u should get a lesson, going out and chancing ur arm would prob turn u off surfing

    here's a surf report for gtown and the cork area

    http://magicseaweed.com/Cork-Area-Surf-Report/54/

    take 10mph off the wind estimate and take a third off the swell estimate and it seems to be closer to what ive experienced

    enjoy!
