We might not always get the sun, but we’ve definitely got the surf and sand. And rocks, plenty of rocks

For surfers, Ireland is fast becoming one of the best destinations to ride some great waves, and although we mightn’t have the weather that Hawaii does, we can certainly match then in terms of surf.

This great short video from surfer Ollie O’Flaherty shows that nicely, and it follows him around as he hits the waves along the west coast, showcasing the best that Ireland has to offer.
