      I’m gonna guess no, maybe in south Wexford but that’s the south coast and still a bit of a cycle. So for that reason I immediately thought, ‘oh he’s cycling to a friend’s house with his board where he’ll get a lift to Sligo or Clare for the long weekend.’ Hardly a news story.

      I’ll follow that up with – the wet suit’s in the carrier bag and other clothes and what-nots are in the surf bag with the board.

      The first beach surfed in ireland ( and possibly europe) was at gyles quay by a mr roddy back in the 20’s on a log he made out of tea chests.
      Another useless fact is george freeth brought surfing to the us west coast, and he was a paddy too.

        Oh and if tge conditions are right , like the big storm in january last year, laytown goes off like pipeline.

    He’s cycling down to Surfdock in Ringsend to sell the board and wetsuit he never used, now that he has himself a girlfriend and doesn’t need to appear cool and sporty anymore.

    Another Darwin Award nominee, like many cyclists who break lights, undertake at turns and cycle too fast on busy streets. That board will be caught by a gust of wind and you’ll be reading about it in the morning paper.
