    Hi, looking to get into SUP in Galway, just bought my own board and wondering where is good to go - apart from the obvious Salthill?

    Hi, just getting into SUP and also based in Galway, You find any good spots?

    Hi Martin,

    I went out to Rusheen Bay which was fine, grand if you're not too confident in water as its very shallow but pretty small. I reckon we could go out from the Rowing club down in the college or even from the small jetty down form the running track in Dangan. AnNd obviously a calm day in Salthill, Silverstrand or Barna.

    Are you around at the weekend, would you like to meet up and try out somewhere?

    Hi guys, i recently got myself a paddle board in galway as well, i was out at bearna strand yesterday but it was a bit choppy, anywhere else you would recommend around galway to go out, or if your ever heading out as well be good to go out with someone else as well.

    I am usually going to Rinvill or Loughrea if anyone interested on Monday evening at around 7pm. I swap every week, I am still learning and looking for a good wide paddle board which is more relaxing. 10'X34"x6" which has great stability but find hard to get a similar one.
