Surfing in November

KJF · 2009-09-17 10:49:32

A couple of pals and myself are planning on going to Lahinch in early November for a weekend of learner surfing. Having never surfed before, what are peoples opinion on going at that time of year? Far too cold? Just fine with a wet suit?

you'll need a 5mm wetsuit along with the aforementioned hood! Also, neoprene gloves and a pair of booties are an absolute must! Get all these things and you'll be surprised how comfortable you'll be
