looking for a group to car pool with

smythire · 10-03-2009 10:29PM #1

i am a surfer who needs ppl to carpool with as driving to silgo on my own is too boring.

lg123 · 10-03-2009 10:47PM

from where, the big shmoke?

smythire · 10-03-2009 10:49PM

yep monkstown. my surfing buddies bailed for lifestyle reasons (babies/drinking)

Dont know the situ with sligo but alot of people from dublin travel up and down to tramore, if you pop in the surf shop there and tell them your looking for other surfers to car pool with they cud take ur number and pass it on to any others they meet...

WithCheesePlease · 12-03-2009 03:59PM

Tramore eh?

But yeah, I just leave my board at home in Cork and try to drag it out any weekend I'm home. But I'd be all on for going from Dublin to Sligo/Tramore/where ever if there's the possibility of getting to surf more than once every month or 2.

So yeah, I'd be on for car pooling...

smythire · 14-03-2009 06:16PM

very good! i will be heading for tramore tomorrow to have look

We're headed to fanore tomorrow, to call us surfers would be an exageration.

Will be camping down there, if no waves we'll be rock climbing.

I've a free seat in the car.

smythire · 19-03-2009 10:59PM

I'm in a fairly similar situation mate, I'd be up for heading away most weekends if the forcast is good. Usually west though, not a huge fan of Tramore considering you can get to Sligo as quick, if not quicker.

Dont know why anyone would go to tramore! Sligo/Bundorans the way to go!

smythire · 24-03-2009 07:42PM

Streedagh is my top beech break, i have some great days there. although, i was out in reef on a small day and the power was amazing.
Anyway the wind has been too strong, but i will be sufing soon

barry-J · 31-03-2009 03:04PM

I've been daytrippin to Sligo/Donegal every Sunday for a couple of months now. Every intention of continuing to do so. I'd be well interesdted in a car pool option if anyone is up for it.
Based south side dublin, tend to hit the road by 8am oof a sunday.
Let me know if your interested

barry-J · 01-04-2009 08:47AM

Sure why don't we try and meet up, organise a potential location closer to sunday.
Only starting out on my surfing learning curve but plenty of ehtusiasim

napapa · 01-04-2009 10:06AM

I'd be up for a Sunday surf....coming from south dublin

jkl · 01-04-2009 10:11AM

when you head down for the day do you get 2 surfs in? i usually only get the one cause im so cold after the first but id say with the longer days/better weather id manage two!

gerk86 · 01-04-2009 07:08PM

if anyone from cork city or surrounding suburbs wants a lift to a break PM me. Few euro for petrol would be welcome.

two surf are the plan with so many drivers

smythire · 01-04-2009 11:47PM

4 per car max

napapa · 01-04-2009 11:51PM

so where you planning on heading? bundoran?

smythire · 01-04-2009 11:55PM

north of silgo 4 sure:)

jkl · 02-04-2009 10:22AM

Sure I'm in too.

Driving from Dublin (sandyford) 1 passanger (girlfiend) 2-3 spare seats.
Have a Renault megan scenic, so if i'm traveling with just the 2 of us i can strip the seats out and carry gear.

will3k · 02-04-2009 10:50AM

I'm in too, might have another lad with me, but if anyone wants a lift / more leg room youre welcome to a seat.

Maybe we could all meet up in the water/beach? To help getting these trips going more frequently?

jkl · 02-04-2009 11:05AM

I've never surfed in sligo before, just lehinch, bundoran and fanore.
So directions'd helpful, I'd be prety enthusiastic about regular meets.

napapa · 02-04-2009 05:08PM

No one has decided on a specific beach, so whats it to be? Bundoran? I'll probably drive up myself with a mate, i've got space for two as well. Not much carpooling for the first trip then,hahaha.:D
