Hey gang,
Have a few questions on a trip I am planning from Canada and am only interested in wave spots. I have experience in big waves/wind, I will likely be travelling alone in a rental car for 2 weeks. I have studied most of the spots, and decided that maybe the Kerry area would be good for me, but am open to going anywhere in the north,west, and southwest.
- Where's best area to base out of, to get most out of wave/wind conditions?
- Does anyone have/know of an apartment for rent?
- Looking for people to ride with as well.
Thanks,
Rob

You will be better asking on the Irish forum, and it will get you in touch with some of the locals.
Its totally unpredictable as to wind from further than 3 days away and for swell from not much more than that, so conditions could be good in the SW or the NW or the W.
Trying to find the conditions on a 2 week visit is like trying to run a contest, so you can see how the Rhino's Wave Charge worked.

Hey irish kiter here. your best bet is to get in touch with puremagic.ie in achill or ryan cootes from kitesurfireland.ie in kerry. both setups will be able to give you a better idea off wind conditions and the beaches to go too and will also help with accommodations. if your looking for pure wave riding then clare/kerry is probably the better place to go. if your looking for all round kiting then head to achill. also this year the ksd tour will be in achill in october.
