Former Irish Champion and Pro Surfer John McCarthy of Lahinch Surf School and one of Ireland’s most experienced Irish Surfing Association qualified surf coaches provided and shared his knowledge for Madforsport.com followers. He answered clearly 8 most frequently asked questions in surfing, from the basics to the complex and difficult skills needed to excel in this challenging sport.

“As a beginner the lessons are held in waist deep water so you need to be confident enough in the water. You will fall off the board and get your head in the water. As you progress surfing, it’s good to be able to swim. Key rule – never let go of your board, it’s a float!” McCarthy answered to one of the queries if is it required for a neophyte surfer to be able to swim to surf.

McCarthy also shared that it is advisable for anyone getting into surfing to get a lesson. The instructor will watch surfer’s progression and can advice on getting a board and wetsuit.

“What you need is a good warm winter wetsuit for winter surfing, 5 – 3 mm in (October – May). A summer suit, 3 – 2 mm. Booties, hood, gloves. It is important you buy a board that is suitable for you. Generally you’re looking for a board at least 1 foot taller than yourself. You start on a long board and as you progress move onto a smaller board. If you buy a board too small you won’t be able to stand, which turns people off surfing,” McCarthy added.

Madforsport.com recommended also that the best surfing location in Ireland is in Lahinch and anywhere along the west coast. You find the best waves along the Clare, Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, Kerry, and Cork coasts.
