"Surfing is getting more popular
in Ireland for sure". Discuss:
Well I think people are starting to actually realise there are
world class waves in this country that are only an hours drive
away. We are lucky as some people I know in England have to drive
5 hours for a surf. Also the surfing community is friendly here
unlike with some locals in other countries so it is inviting for
people to take up the sport.

I like the dolphin in Portrush for a good chippie after a session.
