Ireland has been firmly on the international global map for surfing since the 1960s: in 1966 the first Surf Club of Ireland was set up in Bray and the first Irish National Surfing Championships were held in Tramore in 1967. In 1970 the Irish Surfing Association was founded and since then Ireland has hosted the European Surfing Championships three times. Ireland is also justifiably proud of the many current Irish champions and of its national surf team; the Denny Irish Surf Team is currently competing in Eurosurf ’09 in Jersey. Given Ireland’s stunning coastline, it’s little wonder surfing has become such a popular and well-loved sport. From Portrush in Northern Ireland to the popular South Donegal surf spots of Rossnowlagh and Bundoran; West Sligo’s quality surf conditions to the exposed coastline of Lahinch in Claire; there are perfect surfing locations dotted up and down the country and many surf shops and schools.
Celtic Campervans has always been popular with outdoor enthusiasts, including surfers. The attractions of campervan hire in Ireland (noleggio camper Irlanda) include the freedom of travel, the ability to stay in the very midst of the most beautiful Irish surroundings and the hidden gems to be discovered on the open road. All of these factors are high on the list for surfers and other sportsmen and women. Mark McCabe hired a motorhome from Celtic Campervans for his triathlon event and had this to say: “It was great having the campervan at our disposal for the weekend because it meant we were able to drive directly to the triathlon venue, park up and have all our equipment for the race with us laid out in the campervan…we were also able to relax in the spacious surroundings before the event kicked off…knowing that once the race was over we could look forward to coming back to the campervan to shower and relax and cook some food.” This is exactly why so many surfers choose motorhome hire in Ireland (noleggio camper Irlanda); motorhomes have the space to store surf boards and equipment, allow you to stay as close to the surf as possible and have all the facilities and comfort you could need after a hard day on the waves.
