If you don't mind temperatures that are a bit nippy, then Ireland has some of the best waves in the world, whilst being surrounded by beautiul scenery. For Dieter van der Eyken (Severne / Severne Sails), Ireland has been on the to do list for quite some time, but with autumn usually consisting of a busy schedule it has taken a pandemic to allow the Belgian to be able to make that dream a reality....

Dieter Van der Eyken: “Quick short clip of a 3 week trip to Ireland last autumn.

Ireland has been on my to do list for many years and with the cancellation of the world cup in Sylt the perfect window opened to take the boat and explore new beaches by the van.

It wasn’t the most successful trip in terms of conditions, but there where a few golden sessions, happy to have met some windsurfing friends on the way who managed to capture some of the moments on tape to produce this short clip.

The footage is filmed on Fanore beach (side off shore in SE) near Galway & Magheraroarty in the NW of Ireland (West South West winds) also known for the Red Bull Storm Chase. 

It’s a shame both spots only worked once during the trip making it a bit harder to figure out the wave and the tides, but being able to sail side off conditions nearly every day on different spots around made it a trip to remember!

I will definitely be back & hope to sail a few other spots that are still on my bucket list!

Thanks to Severne Windsurfing for the continuing support and now looking forward to share some more content of here on Tenerife soon!”
