Definitely malibu, its got it all, the history, the crowds, the girls in bikinis, the chance to be dropped in on/drop in on a legend....

But on a serious note, one with waves.....

thanks low pockets...... Malibu sounds the biz but any where in Ireland that has all the above, it could be an Irish Bu......

It has to be Portmarnock beach, it’s got all of the above, 8 times a day it gets waist high waves generated by passing ships that are perfect for longboards and SUP’s. Hot water discharged from the Poolbeg power station flows across forming a subtropical micro climate so it’s warm enough to strut around in board shorts. There are a lot of chicks in bikinis but some are a bit on the scary side.

Apart from that go explore West Coast beaches they all have their moments. Try Enniscone, North Donegal, Lahinch, Brandon Bay.....

Most of the well known beaches are grand for longboarding on their day. Just keep an eye on the forecasts and let that dictate where you'll go on a given day.

Elheffe looks like your from clare

Not sure how good you are so look for light east/south east winds and a south west swell 2m and under

Lahinch beach will look like this

inch beach in Kerry might be worth a go. gets good reviews. although I do like the idea of sub tropical conditions of portmarnock beach.

I know its a silly answer but any beach with a nice wave will do! As long as the wind is offshore and the waves aren't too large or powerful then you'll be ok. Around 3' is an awesome longboarding wave. Any bigger than that and you will have a harder time getting out back.

I've had some great days longboarding in Inchydoney/Lahinch/Fermoyle/Tramore/Tullan etc
