Surfing Ireland's Monster Waves {Gadling}

Apr 20th 2006 7:20AM Believe it or not surfing is actually quite a popular sport in Ireland and there are great surfing spots all down the West Coast. Two Irish surfers were among the first to surf Aileens but the media either wrote them out of the story or showed them as two simple paddies who never would have attempted the wave without the more advanced foreign surfers. It's a really unfair attitude, people need to realise that Ireland has lots of great surf and surfers.
