Galway




What a great weekend.Last saturday morning a group of us from Ul headed up to the west rodeo in tuam where I Judged and also competed in the 'pro' class.I wanted to get some more competition experience in my c1 before nationals so I thought I better compete in my c1 against the k1 heads.In the end I finished 6th but I was happy.Fair play to bowsie for running a great fun event.






Pro class winner,event organiser and all around nice guy brian cahill.






The other judges and I looking all serious and hopefully doing a good job.












plugging for a loop.

And We're Off

So the first county off the list is clare.I started off 32cc with a spot of surf kayaking and wave ski surfing.Conor and Bredin and I headed out to lahinch and caught a bit of surf around spanish point.The first day we headed out to spanish point beach. The surf was small but clean so I opted to take my waveski out.Had a great little session with conor in his surf boat wayne timmons on a short board and fitz and his girlfriend on longboards.Just 5 friends sharing waves on different surf craft on a sunny day without any agro.I'm beggining to get the hang of this whole waveski lark and I finally feel comfortable on my ski.



After lunch I headed off for a bit of sight seeing with the guys and we checked out the clifs of moher.




After the sun had set we headed back to waynes b and b where he kindly put us up for the night.the next day we headed out surfing at spanish point reef where we had a great session, I even managed to get covered over in the surf kayak.
