For me, the campervan and surfing 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 have always gone hand in hand. There's a great crossover from campervan culture with surfing, the roadtrip, the open road, and the sense of anticipation of what the day might bring, what the ocean might have in store...not to mention the great people you meet and great places you discover, lifelong connections...
Other than quitting smoking (40 Lucky Strikes-a-day-man) surfing (and the campervan) are the best decisions I ever in terms of health and well-being...
I'm not a great surfer or even a good swimmer and have enrolled for improver lessons in the @portlaoise_leisure_centre
However, I really love the surfing and have never gotten out of the water that I didn't feel better, totally stoked and thrilled with myself if I managed to catch a 4ft swell... and massive respect and admiration to those riding the 40ft monsters at Mullagmore and The Cliffs, I'm in awe of their courage and athleticism... go safely.
There's something about an early morning start in the dark and the sense of wonder as you hit the road for Lahinch or elsewhere. Immerse yourself in the moment just chatting to yourself and the waves, the beaming smile when you catch a good one, a hot shower @benssurfclinic
Totally wiped out and exhausted, looking forward to a pint and fodder in the taverns of this seaside town, our LA, mulling over how glad I am to have bought my fire engine 9'6" Beach Beat board by Chopps from Tom at @lahinchsurfshop a few years back now...
I'm not going to get surfing this weekend, but I'm constantly thinking of the next time and how I'm going to try to be better at it, working on my paddle, finding my sweet spot, pop-up, composure in the water...
I feel better even thinking, daydreaming about it... have a great weekend, and I hope you too find your sweet spot 😊 #SurfCity #surfing #sweetspot #LAhinch #campervanadventures #campervanculture #roadtrip #Vanhalla #campervanlifestyle #CamperHeaven Discover Ireland @vanderlust_ltd @lahinch.ie @kennysbar @frawleysbarlahinch @vaughansontheprom @lahinchsurfshop @benssurfclinic @lahinchleisurecentre @lahinchsurfschool @lahinchsurfexperience @visitclare @visitnorthclare @hugos_lahinch @dodicafe @randaddys @saunasuaimhneas @tourismireland @thewildatlanticway @wildatlanticwayclare @juliaslobstertruck
