Kian Egan discusses how surfing in Ireland has changed over the years, why no major professional surfers have come out of Ireland, and the future of Irish surf culture.
I really really don't think Ireland will be a big surf tourist destination for various reasons. Its best season is winter and weather is really bad and daylight is short. It's super expensive and if you book well in advance its a big risk as swell/wind need to connect and you could spend your expensive holiday in a pub watching rain from the window. If you book last minute its super expensive and forcast is only precise for a few days in advance. I mean its always going to have surf enthusiast chasing some of the best waves out there but when it comes to regular dudes like me I would never choose Ireland for surf holiday not even because of the cold but more price/consistency. But then again I never surfed better waves than in Ireland with some of the nicest people you could meet in the water.
@mrbeansys 🌊🇮🇪 Ireland's surf charm is an enigma-winter offers wonders, but short days and erratic weather pose challenges. The gamble of expense and inconsistency contrasts with unbeatable waves and the warmth of Irish hearts, making it a surfer's paradox! Whether facing the price tag or reveling in last-minute spontaneity, Ireland's surf scene remains a haven for enthusiasts chasing some of the best waves. Amidst the cold and unpredictable forecasts, the waves in Ireland prove unparalleled, and the camaraderie with some of the nicest people in the water makes every surfing adventure unforgettable. 🏄♂️💚 #IrishSurfSaga #SurfingParadox #irsihstoke
