Surf Shop Location Map |
| |
Lahinch in County Clare, Ireland, has been a centre for surfing in Ireland since the late 1960's. The local club in Lahinch hosted the European surf championships in 1972.
I became interested in surfing in the late 1980's. It all started for me as a result of a chat in a pub in Liscannor, County Clare, which led my wife Rosemary and I to buy the original shop on the prom in Lahinch in 1989, which became the first dedicated surf shop in Ireland. - Thanks to Colm Toner from Kilshanny Garden centre for the inspiration and Gerry Collins from Great outdoors Dublin for pointing us in the right direction for suppliers.
Lahinch surf shop was the first of Ireland's surf shops.
Many people thought we had lost the plot. We had some very strange reactions including people trying to back horses as they thought that the word Surf was really Turf. However, the shop prospered and we eventually rebuilt on the same site, which is now our current shop.
Over time, we have introduced many brands to Ireland, most of whom have stayed with us and given us an excellent service We hope to continue to support surfing in this area by supplying equipment of a high quality to all surfers of every standard and helping the local club in whatever way we can. We operate a trade in policy for children’s wetsuits and all good condition surfboards against new equipment. This gives many the chance to obtain good used suits and boards.
The shop was so popular for surf info that we started the daily surf report on the web and put a recorded message on the phone, just to allow us to use the phone at all! This message is updated every morning on 0818 365 180.Now also by SMS- text lahinch to 53133
We continue to stock the best quality surfboards, wetsuits, fashion and accessories.
