The title of a piece in todays Irish Times magazine supplement by Eoin Butler. Still getting used to the new revamped edition, and still far from decided or whether I like it or not. Certainly the supplement has not changed my view that it’s just one long advertisement…

“Extremely cocky. Friendly too, but only as long as get get all the waves. Your typical Australian surfer reckons that, because he works in a bar in Strandhill, that means he owns the beach.”

So it seems then that stereotypes most definitely exist on water as well as land.

Butler suggests that as far as top surfing beaches in Ireland are concerned, Lahinch and Bunder are still really popular. The more discerning might check out Easkey, Lissadell and Strandhill in Sligo, as well as Kilcummin, and Keel Beach (Achill) in Mayo.
