Is that the Dublin media saying forget the wesht, we have Ferry waves??

Still, looks a laugh...

rte well behind the curve as usual!
that's been done for years by lifeguards and surfers over there, check the time tables of the ferries and off you go.

most of the people doing SUP in ireland are crap at it and don't even push it like it's meant to be, saw the irish champ in action one day and he was paddling into waves that just about no one else had the nerve for.

feel sorry for the lads, dirty beach with an ugly ferry providing the waves is well removed from the ancient polynesians and the mahalo spirit

It's the place for them sweepers, sure they were even naming spots on National television...

It's not a dirty beach at all, it's a clean beach now and has been for a long time. Before the ferries had to slow down (due to walkers getting soaked on the South wall) they produced big big clean waves, the only people there to collect were an assortment of canoeists in long thin river racing fibre glass boats from the seascouts on the bull wall! I guess they weren't fussy about where the energy came from, or if the mahalo spirit approved, they caught big waves, or creamed (themselves and their boats!).

Either way, they had fun.
