Heres a nice video of Clifden with a selection of Irish paddlers. Its a tidal feature that works during spring tides throughout the year and is very popular in summer when the rivers dry up.

Thanks to Barry for making a video and remembering to include everyone else this time !

Enjoy : )

Well  I was really hoping to get some surfing done in the last week with Portugal Worlds just around the corner but the swell has died so instead Ive just spent some quality time in Clifden in glorious weather. The shorty cag was out in force and the cues were small. To be honest after the competition I was glad to see the shrinking cue…. I was paddling mainly with some of the NUIG diehard playboaters. Barry, Cian, Conor and Andrew were the main culprits. I managed to squeeze in about four sessions over a few days.

Also during this time the wave came up and was great fun as the tides were quite high. So lots of oldschool was on the cards and smiling fsces all round.

While there I took the camera out and decided to do a response video to my recent video of curragower a wave in Limerick. That video featured many UL paddlers telling us why they love gower so I thought who better to tell us why they love Clifden than some NUIG paddlers….

So I’ll let you decide who is showcasing the better playspot, I have my opinion which I will keep to myself

Why ULKC likes Curragower

Why NUIGKC likes Clifden

Part 2

Also big up to Cian Mc Comb for putting us up in the Mobile Home and to Barry for giving me the Ibuprofene and the two of them for listening to me whine about my very sore ear.

Of course it didnt stop me going to Oranmore for a sneakey session on Sunday evening.

Im off now to take a trip to the very small swell for a despeation surf……..
