Surfing at Bundoran : Sun splitting the rocks:)

Here's beautiful Bundoran, in Donegal on the North West coast of Ireland. Bundoran is a seaside resort on the Atlantic and the surf is pretty good there.
We caught these surfers one very fine day at the end of May 2009.
The sun was splitting the rocks that day:)

Enjoy.


Listen to our interview on Womens Radio where we discuss the work we do in the Wyllie O Hagan St Patrick's Day Film Festival. Thanks

Bundoran - The Peak
Bundoran, County Donegal
Bundoran is the surf capital of Ireland, a small seaside town with a number of good breaks within easy walking distance from the town and the holiday accommodation making Bundoran a perfect place for surfing holiday.

The Peak is legendary wave a long V-shaped reef which juts out into the middle of the bay facing west-north-west and offers a short hollow right, and a long bashable left. It works well off a west to southwest swells and can hold waves up to 10 feet. Best two hours either side of low tide. It's one the most perfect waves in Europe and is ridable on most wind directions. Gets crowded, but nothing like as crowded as, say, Croyde or Fistral even on a good day. Not a wave for beginners; expect to get a thrashing if you get it wrong. Show respect to the locals and be friendly and you'll be treated to some of the legendary Irish hospitality.

3-D is a short hollow right-hander between The Peak and the beach which works from mid- to high-tide. It has a tendency to suck dry, so is probably best left to the small number of locals and bodyboarders who ride it. It works up to about six feet.

To the north is Tullan Strand which is a long beach with peaky lefts and rights. Tullan always has a wave of some sorts and is rarely flat.

Are you sure this not Waikiki Beach,Ladies? Ah, I see that the wave riders are wearing suits ;-). I can't wait to go over to my fav island in a couple of weeks for a nice long holiday.

Great video and you picked the perfect music. Kind of "new wave" ;-)
